I had 2 placenta abruptions with my last 2 kids, first child they didnt know till after she was born and the placenta came out in 2 pieces, and my second child was born at 36 weeks, and we almost lost her. 4 days ago I started gushing blood and had contractions, I thought I miscarried.
It is not customary for the groom's mother to give a gift to the bride, but on some occasions the groom's mother may have a piece of jewelry, etc., that she may want her new daughter-in-law to have. The groom's mother and father give a wedding gift and it can either be money or a gift.
It is appropriate for the groomâs mother to call the mother of the bride in advance to make sure their dresses coordinate. It is never appropriate for the groomâs mother to wear black as this is seen as an outward expression of her disapproval of the wedding. But sheâafter consulting with the brideâs motherâcan wear anything she likes. I remember a family wedding where my sister was the groomâs mother. The brideâs mother was wearing a long formal dress, and my sister chose a short dressy suit in the same color family.
