First Time Marriage for Man and Woman Both Over Age 40
That’s right. Not everyone will get married, and some, when they do, may not get married for the first time until their late 30s, their 40s, 50s, or older.
This was on Ask Amy:
DEAR AMY:
- Is it appropriate to give my son’s fiancee a (relatively) expensive ring? I’m thinking of giving her a ring I had made for myself more than 40 years ago. It has great sentimental value, but I don’t wear it anymore. It has been rolling around in a safe-deposit box for the last 30 years.
My intention was to present it to her as a gift from the heart welcoming her into the family.
My son’s fiancee is not from this country, and both of her parents died a little over a year ago. She is a delightful, upbeat, loving and unselfish person.
My son is 41, and his girlfriend is 40; neither one has ever been married before. We are delighted for both of them.
If you think it is okay, could you please suggest some appropriate wording? — Lost for Words in Seattle
