I understand completely! My grandmother took it much worse than my parents. But, if it's any consolation, by the time the wedding shower she attended rolled around, she brought us a lovely gift off our registry and was a social butterfly during the shower. She was great to DH after the first little bit and gives him the same bday and Christmas gifts mom, dad, and I get. She and granddaddy helped set up and clean up the wedding and were fine. It's hard to know that their little girl has grown up, but they got past it. She's really just glad I have someone to take care of me. Her big fear was that it would cause me to drop out of my graduate program. Ok, I'm done, sorry for the longwinded response.
