Press Article: Joyful Weddings Over Parental Expectations
In a recent letter, contributor Lynn R. from California shared her thoughts on the ongoing debate surrounding parental involvement in wedding planning. Citing her extensive experience in the hospitality industry, she condemned the behavior of parents who believe their desires should overshadow those of the bride and groom on their special day. Reflecting on the joy of micro-weddings during COVID-19, she noted that celebratory focus should be on meaningful connections rather than extravagant spending.
Lynn emphasized the importance of recognizing that weddings truly belong to the couple, not their parents. Her sentiments resonated widely, with all readers of “Dear Abby” echoing her sentiments.
In a separate piece, a Florida resident lamented over missing jewelry after entrusting her home to a long-time cat sitter and a new acquaintance. She contemplated cutting both individuals from her life due to this betrayal. However, “Dear Abby” advised against that drastic measure. Instead, she recommended changing the locks, seeking a new plant caregiver, and possibly filing a police report regarding the missing items.
