Here Comes the Bride

[Loretta R. Payson]

Only if you knew too well the groom that will take your only daughter down the aisles, you will genuinely feel great and proud hearing that wedding march. But why? Do you feel that your daughter had chosen someone you don’t like and feels that he doesn’t deserves your daughter? Maybe you were not approved of the whirlwind romance that your daughter had gone through, right? And the man she decided to say her sacred yes to the perpetual question of “will you marry me” ends up for you as a bitter and grim ending to an unromantic movie that is your daughter’s love story. But it would be plain selfish on your part to judge your future son-in-law promptly. Convincing yourself to be open-minded and to actually know him is just the right thing to do. Have your future son-in-law background checked if you please.

Yes, you heard it right. Having your future son-in-law background investigated especially taking a criminal background checks on him will do wonders on how you will feel about him. Of course it will not hurt your daughter by doing such; after all, you wouldn’t tell her right? The least thing you wanted is for your daughter to get mad at you and accuse you of over protection and paranoia. Some may raise they eyebrows but what the heck, just think that you are just doing it for your daughter. Have you ever heard the story of how did a mother learned that her daughter’s fiancé was a complete jerk? Yes, through a reliable criminal background check. Just like that mother, you too can do the same although it may seem quite crazy and exaggerated for others.

Just hold the consolation that whatever result that may come out with the investigation will be at any side advantage. If you found out that what she had for a groom is a felony and convict, it is a mother’s instinct to protect and safeguard your daughter against him. Although it will break her heart, rest assured it will not break her future altogether. But if then the result pleases you, thank god that you will be at peace knowing that your daughter had gotten herself a great lifetime partner that you too can be proud of.
