Just before we move on from it all because I know people are getting bored - sorry!
I just wanna say that just because my dad said “we’d be delighted for you both to get married and you join our family officially” doesn’t mean my dad was making my decision for me which is what some seem to think?
like I could still have said no if I wanted to?
he also included his own parents and showed them the ring etc and asked how they felt about me joining their family etc and it’s just lovely to feel love from both sides and know they’d be happy for you?
it’s not as deep as my dad saying “well I’ve said you’ll marry him now so sorry no backsies”
Carrie is clearly close with her family and it might be something she wanted. Likewise I’d imagine with it being such a quick engagement Joel probably did want to gauge the reaction before he did it because it would be horrible if the families werent happy for you?
sorry I’ll shut up now.
