She also mentioned she was close to her future sister-in-law Sabrina, and both Doug and her future mother-in-law Nina treat her like she is one of their own children.
The couple asked Doug to be the officiate in their wedding which is a wonderful way to include him in their special day.
When a couple gets married, they also receive in-laws. While not everyone has a good relationship with them, Mia surely will. What a blessing to know you are marrying into such a kind and thoughtful family.
We wish Alex and Mia a wonderful wedding and marriage.
