Knowing he was getting married in a rush and had a lot on his plate? Lisa and Seth were back home the day of the wedding, because they were dropped off at their moms after the wedding 🤷♀️ LOL that’s ALWAYS bugged me, even as a kid lol Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-947757299603675482016-01-02T22:41:51.510-05:002016-01-02T22:41:51.510-05:00I got married last year and there were 3 year olds...I got married last year and there were 3 year olds, 4 year olds, newborns, and kids of all ages attending.

He paid extra $ to move into the Thomas house asap. And we know its them because we meet them in book 7.

I think I may have only read certain books--specifically, the Stacey books since she was my favorite.

I grew up in a non-religious household, so the idea of living together outside of marriage didn't seem like a big deal to me. Edie & Watson don't seem like the uptight sorts who would care about that either. <BR/><BR/>I'm feeling the urge to reread this one nownikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137551380843110484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-87475584820148914682008-10-09T13:58:00.000-04:002008-10-09T13:58:00.000-04:00Great snark, as usual.

It's kind of sad that she had to become such an archetype of a tomboy while the girlier girls - Stacey and Mary Anne - were shown to be such sports-phobes.

I kinda wish they'd left Kristy to be more like this than the Type A-idea machine-sports fanatic she turned into.
