Someone, somewhere, missed the fucking point...
My parents. Love 'em to bits.
They have offered to help us out extensively with the wedding, which is quite important now the date has been brought forward, and what with our somewhat non-stop working hours until the day, its a bit stressful on us and on them.
As you can imagine with moving, new job and an impending nuptual (as well as the removal of my car from the equation), there is a bit of stress going on.
And thats just Li and I.
My parents are feeling the pinch too, lots of hospital appointments, new carpet fitting, new doors in the house, ill-health, etc. And with all that AND the shitty weather we have been having they decided to cancel the Garden Party they had planned for my mums birthday, telling me that it was a great relief.
This morning I get woken by a phone call giving me the ultimatum that unless Li can free up on her work commitments and make some time to sort out wedding stuff, that they were going to cancel the wedding. And then when I go straight over and am a tad annoyed they have a go at me.
First things first, while I am grateful for your support, and agree that I need it. YOU DO NOT CANCEL MY WEDDING.
Thats it, thats the rule, if you need to cancel, please do, but on the 12th August, please dont feel surprised or upset that you missed the wedding that Li and I had on the 11th. (There is a part of me that wont mind, especially considering the tantrum that my mother threw on my sisters weddings, BOTH OF THEM, about how nobody gave her respect on her big day, when we all thought it was suppossed to be my sisters... Silly us, eh?)
Its OK now, all over including the shouting. But thats a start of the day that I could have done without. Shit, its like I still live there or something.
*BTW: For those of you who have met my mother, this will be no surprise, for those of you that have not had that pleasure, its alright really, this is just what she does, nobody else can spend so long winding themselves up until they explode in fury and blame everyone else around them. She's lovly but, shit, sometimes... I guess we all have 'em?
