I wish I would have talked with my mother before we got married. She was not asked for permission. Dad was already gone by then. I remember about 20 years ago, Mom told me that when hubby and I were dating, they hoped I didn't marry him. I had no idea! My Mom loves him to pieces now, but I wonder if I had known that, if I would have married so young (19 years old). I tell everyone that asks, to wait as long as possible. Too much growing up yet to do, at least for me, anyway.
