A nightmare

After I watched the prime time Olympic coverage, I switched over to Say Yes to the Dress.  The episode I saw was about pregnant brides.

What a nightmare.  One bride was 7 1/2 months pregnant and was planning to marry in a month.  Another was just 3 1/2 months pregnant, but was shopping for the dress that she would wear at her wedding twenty months in the future.  I guess she didn't feel a sense of urgency about tying the knot.  The final bride was in for a dress fitting for her wedding that was still a month away . . . when she would be 8 1/2 months pregnant.

I think the definition of a nightmare would be if one of my daughters was a pregnant bride.  Having already gone through gown shopping and wedding planning for one daughter, I can't imagine going through that fun, but stressful, process while also dealing with the challenges of preparing to welcome a baby into the world.  Each event deserves to be celebrated on its own. 

I know that the best laid plans go oft awry (apologies to Robert Burns) but I really hope that K and M wait until after they're married to start a family.
