Here's a question: Should a mother take her daughter to see Sex and the City? Should I even be asking this question?

I loved the series, but I'm 51 years old. Is it proper for a 13 year old to see this movie?

I don't think so, though my daughter is begging me to let her go. She's seen the softened version of SATC on TBS, and she's in love with the characters. She wants to know what happens to them in the end or more specifically if Big and Carrie get married.

Every little girl's dream — a beautiful wedding complete with gown, flowers, an orchestra, an unblemished face — you know the perfect day. We all had it once.

In the third grade, I was set on marrying a preacher. Don't know why other than as a form of rebellion against my older brother and sister who were best buds and were always leaving me out in the cold. Marrying a preacher seemed to be a way to "get them back" for some reason. Using God as my weapon. Hmmmm.

I did marry, but I was six weeks pregnant and nearly 38 years old. I wore an India style outfit I bought at Pier One Imports (when they used to sell clothes) and I felt like crap. We went to the Justice of the Peace. I had to throw up in the middle of the very brief and non-frilly ceremony, but managed to hold it in until we got home.

I was so sick; I barely made it to the bathroom, removing my clothes as I went for fear of getting them stained. It was awful.

Later, and in sweats, I treated myself to Velveeta Cheese & Macaroni (about all I could stomach) while our few guests had Mexican dishes that made my stomach churn. Yeah, it was a great wedding day and a great experience. Some fairy tale.

Now, back to SATC. I've heard, though I do not know, that the movie is not all peaches and cream and that there is a dark ending. "Dark" meaning what, exactly? Don't know.

But in my opinion Carrie has had more fabulous men in her life, more beautiful gowns than any woman on earth, more stunning coiffeurs and shoes that were the bomb, so what exactly is going to top this? She tripped Big in the hall after dumping a phenomenal (though sexist) Russian artist who had given her the moon, yes, and the stars.

Big finally said those magic words: "You're the one" while Carrie stood in the most stunning seafoam dress I have ever seen while they both stood in Paris. Ok, so how can this end?

The same way they all end: reality sets in. Bills have to be paid, and though Big loves her, he might have a problem with her inability to control her $500 a pair shoe habit.

But if we cannot count on love, we can count on her wedding being the most "fabulous" ever complete with a knock-out wedding gown by Vera Wang or someone like that and a spectacular venue.

Will she walk away from it all? Will she get, again, what every woman wants — a man totally devoted to her who is willing to overlook her flaws and give her the best wedding ever — and then just piss it away? And if so, is this the message I want my daughter to receive about love, men, marriage, or more specifically weddings?

Don't know. But I am going to take her, and if there is a Samantha sex scene, I'll cover her eyes. I want to know if the writers and producers can actually pull this off, and in the end if Carrie gets the guy or is it the other way around. Will the "guy" get Carrie?
