He added that this was especially true for Matt and Amy’s children.

Especially for the kids, that would have been awkward for Amy and Matt’s kids. Which one are they supposed to be happy for? I just think it would have been a lot of mixed emotions for them to be there together.”

  1. I feel Amy and Chris made the best decision for everyone. It was a great mature gesture by Matt to let Amy n Chris use the farm. This shows that everyone has let time heal old wounds while everyone is moving forward. And with Matt and Caryn away during the wedding this allows for Amy, Chris the kids and grandkids to relax have fun all without feeling guilty or worrying about how the others gonna feel or react. As they stated less tension n less stress. Matt n Caryn can congratulate Amy n Chris when they return. It was a lovely beautiful touching ceremony. Congratulations!

  2. It’s a ridiculous reason not to have invited Karyn and Matt after Matt so graciously supported and helped with this wedding. Amy is still a control freak telling Chris she was going to give rock gifts and he had No say in it. She never appreciated Matt’s talents and goals and was usually against all his ideas concerning his buildings on the farm. She has a nasty personality and Chris is “ whipped”! He will get sick of it sooner or later and will see the true AMY in time . Her contempt still shows towards Matt and that’s bad. Karyn is a sweetheart and I’m glad Matt has her. Control is like witchcraft the Bible teaches and Chris needs to step up and become a strong leader and stop allowing Amy to run the show. I’ll not understand why he let Amy buy their house and didn’t propose until after the house was bought. Could it be that he’s using her for her money? If he knew he wanted to marry her then why wasn’t he a part of picking out and deciding on the house in the first place? A very strange relationship!

    1. Amy, is a sweetheart and sat back for years letting Matt make all decisions he wanted. I like Matt too but he was the controller. How do you think he became so close to their farm manager and Amy sat by and had not a clue that a stronger relationship was brewing, which gave Matt the confidence to push Amy away. He is lucky it wasn’t me! I would not have sold my half!

  3. THE FOCUS OF COMMENTS WERE TO BE ABOUT HAVING NOT INVITED MATT AND “KAREN” AT THEIR WEDDING….. SO I WILL SAY THIS…… I TOTALLY AGREE WITH CHRIS AND AMY’S FEELINGS ON NOT HAVING MATT AND “KAREN” THERE…… IT TRULY WAS MORE FAIR FOR THE FAMILY TO CELEBRATE AMY AND CHRIS…………… WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT HOW THE KIDS AND THEIR SPOUSES WOULD FEEL!!!! OR EVEN OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS THAT WERE THERE…………… AND I TRULY BELIEVE MATT ALSO AGREED ……………..OR I THINK HE WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING…. SO IT ALL WENT WELL FOR EVERYONE!!!
