I figured that if we moved our wedding from next year and decided to run off to the JP that it would get very small, very fast. I did not figure that only ONE person would show up and that would be a NON-FAMILY member.
I called my mom as soon as we scheduled our wedding and she said that Mondays are too busy for her, she doesn't want to take off work and she doesn't want to miss her class so her and her husband aren't coming.
Then Shane's parents came over yesterday for Gemma's birthday and they were acting really weird. They ate cake, watched Gem open her gift and then bolted for the door. Gemma kept begging Shane's mom to play with her for a couple minutes but she kept saying no.
As soon as they left I looked at Shane and said, "Your mom is NOT happy we're getting married." He told me I was nuts. But then I got home from work today and his dad was here working on our new kitchen cabinets/counter with him. As soon as his dad left Shane was like, "So yeah, my mom's mad." I was like, "Did your dad tell you what the issue is?" And Shane was like, "No, I didn't ask."
How the HECK am I supposed to try to get along with his mother if she's going to be a passive-aggressive witch and his dad won't tell us WHY she's mad and Shane won't ASK?!?!?!
And talk about the pot calling the kettle black anyway! Shane's mom and dad were both newly divorced (he had three kids, she had two) and met in a bar. They had a one night stand and she got pregnant with Shane so the GOT MARRIED! And they are still married 30 years later! So what is the big F*ing problem?!
Okay, end rant. I just figured SOMEONE would show up to our wedding besides my best friend who IS taking the time off work and driving down to witness our marriage and then joining us in the park for pics afterwards!
