Wedding Woes

Why is it that when the START button is FINALLY pushed that it is immediately followed by a PAUSE button? Haven't I paid my dues? Haven't I waited long enough? What more can you ask of me at this point???

so - the PAUSE button has been pushed. As Rob was speaking with his mother regarding reception locations the aunt and grandma decided to participate in the conversation. By participate, I mean PROTEST the non-church subject.

Was I not open and fair to Rob on this subject? Did I not make my feelings clear years ago about this topic? I went so far as to ask Rob this weekend about it. What did he say - Eff the Church. I proceeded to play devil's advocate with him about it - ARE YOU SURE, ROB? I DON'T CARE ABOUT ELA AND YOUR MOM, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER....SHE DID FLY ALL THE WAY FROM POLAND TO STOP YOUR MOTHER'S WEDDING....ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OK WITH THIS?

He said he was and not to worry about it. That tells me that I don't have to give it another thought and I can go on planning MY day - right? it is MY DAY, isn't it? Well, according to Rob, the wedding isn't for us - it's for the family...man, who needs enemies with a family like that? Aren't I the one comitting my life to him? Isn't it ME that is taking the vow in sickness and in health, till death do us part? I'd say the wedding is most defintely about US! The reception can be for everyone else.

So, it is now 4 days in to my engagement and I am already crying and I feel like giving up.
