wait i don't get it... so your name is mrs. nick jonas(or something like that i can't really see it right now) but you are getting married? I think someone who loves nick jonas isn't old enough to get married. BTW.. i like nick jonas too<33

Assuming that you are an adult because if not, you have no business even thinking about marriage, your mother should have no place in your decision to get married. Clearly she has little respect for you as an individual. She thinks that you need to marry rich because you're inept in your career and she wants you to find a man to take care of you and probably her. Then again, maybe you are just a bint with high hopes of stay at home mommy duty.

You should talk with your mom about your feelings!!! I think youre mom is just thinking for your own sake!!! She knows that if you are going to marry a rich man , the guy can feed you and youre future children!!! Maybe youre just wants u 2 have a good future!!!

Your mother doesn't want to see you struggle in the same way she struggled at your age. She sees that marrying a man who is financially secure will save you from the hardships she had to go through. What she doesn't realize is that hardships come in different forms for everyone. I married for love instead of $$ and yes, we have struggled and still are. But we are happy and our struggles bond us together. This is HARD WORK and takes a great deal of commitment. Should you choose this path, you both must be strong and able to carry each other when you stumble.

Mommy is not the one taking the plunge here, you are !
Look at the qualities of the not so rich guy......is he a survivor who can take care of himself and you too ? because let me tell ya, If the bottom falls out on rich boy financially......you will see just how vulnerable he really is...but thats for you to judge in their character, not everyone is the same.
I have a feeling you already know the answer, but your mom is your stumblin' block......go with your heart.

This sounds so familar. Your dilemma compares to so many movies recently out and out today! Girl, just tell your mother how you feel even though you may disappoint her. It's not about her feelings it about yours.Money can only last so long. A person can be rich, but it means nothing without love,chemistry, and trust. Tell your mom how you really feel.Hope she understands and call it a day. That's all I can tell you.

I would say go with your heart, but the number 1 reason for divorce is financial trouble. So just make sure whoever you choose can provide for you, he doesn't have to be rich but make sure he's not a deadbeat for sure.

this is your life not her's. you only marry out of love, if you marry this man just becuase HES rich then you are no better than your mother, becuase youre only using him for his money youre only marrying him for his riches? what kind of vows of those? they are lies! so dont do it, dont use a man like that.

Do what you want--you are not your mother's pawn to be used to shell out cash to her to support her dreams of neverending shopping sprees. Tell her to find her own rich boy for herself or buy a lottery ticket and to stay out of your dating life.

first of all does she know about this other guy you like?
and if she does you might as well just dive straight in and ask her if she'd rather you be happy and not wealthy or wealthy and miserable.
if she says the second one then ask her if this is the way she really wants to raise her daughter and storm out of the room... that'll show her.

You will not be happy if you do as your mother wishes. Tell her no that you are going to puck your own husband. You are the only one that is worried about your happiness. Money is not everything. I would rather be dirt poor and with the one I love. Go with your heart girl.
