Aunty e Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 So I've not been on for a bit because my Dad (who is in his sixties and has had Parkinsons for thirty years) broke his hip quite badly. He's ok now, having had it replaced, but it was a bit horrible and means he won't be mobile for a while. BUT... He and my Mum, who have been divorced for fifteen years, have decided to remarry. He's been living back at home for a couple of years now, but they've always assured me it was completely platonic. Big fat liars. I get to be matron of honour, and make all the dresses, WOO!

Cinnamon Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What lovely news It must be a relief for you to know that they will have each other for company,especially as your dad is not in the best of health. Do you get to wear a nice big pink meringue dress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 What a lovely story. Very rare it happens in divorced parents (my parents are divorced) Would be like "old times" if my mum and dad were back together. Have fun planning the big day and best of health to your dad.

Christian Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 My gran had a hip replacement a few years ago and said it was the best decision ever. A few weeks of discomfort at first but then no stopping her. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks for all your replies! They're getting married in May So not very much time to get things organised, but I think it's going to be quite low key. Just bought them an engagement card, which was tricky because so few of them are appropriate for more mature/sophisticated couples (no glitter for my parents) and also because, well, I was buying an engagement card for my parents. Wierded out. Poor old Dad is feeling ok in the hip, but is still a bit confused from the general on Tuesday. Talking rubbish and sleeping a lot mostly.
