Worried mother of the groom

Dear Queenie,

  My middle-age son is engaged to a girl young enough to be his daughter. In fact, her mother is the same age as him.

  He has given her a lot of money toward their wedding and I am worried that she is only marrying him for his money.

  Queenie, I don’t want to see him get hurt. Should I say anything to him about it, and what should I say?—Worried mother of the groom

 

Dear Mother,

  Your son is old enough to make his own decisions about such things, good or bad, and I doubt anything you might say would make much difference at this point. And it may turn out that she is the perfect wife for him.

  Try to keep your worries to yourself and to make this girl welcome as a part of your family. And if eventually their relationship does not work out well, DO NOT tell your son, “I was afraid this might happen.”
