This is my sons second marriage. New brides first. I have my wedding garter that was also worn by my mother. I would like to have the new bride wear it, to save not throw. But, I would also like her to save it to give to my sons daughter(from first marriage). How can i tactfully tell her that, or a suggestion for something I could write up to give with it?
It may be best if your son asked her first to find out if she is agreeable with the idea. If you were to ask her, you would be putting her in an awkward position. She may not feel comfortable being completely honest. If she agrees, then perhaps you two can have a nice lunch where you can give it to her.
Please do not feel upset if she isn't excited about continuing this tradition. We all have our own ideas about what we want to do and what we consider special.
