What is your feeling when your children will get married?

I think that besides the happiness one feels at seeing a child get married, a parent also feels a bit of sadness because that is the time when one finally realizes that their child has grown up. It is like realizing one's little child is gone. I remember feeling a bit sad when my daughter married. I also felt worried that she would be away and I would not be there to protect her any longer. Also, I felt the doubt of a father of the groom being able to make her happy. If your children are still small, don't waste time wondering about their wedding day. Concentrate on all the time you have with them while they are still young.

Hi emine, I believe that apart from the happiness we feel a bit sad and scared. Sad because our children will be beginning a new life and perhaps not need us as much as before and scared because life is so uncertain. After we live such a difficult life we have life experience of all the struggles that come with marriage, finances etc.. But I imagine that being that I raised my children that they have weighed all the future comings and have made right choices. So the feelings of happiness would outweigh any other feelings, I hope.

My eldest is only two years old, but sometimes I do think about it too. And I really cannot imagine how I'll feel when the time comes and he have to leave me. But of course, I will be happy for him. And maybe I will still be there for him and his future wife, to guide them along married life :)
