I can't believe it.
My dad sent me an e-mail this morning . . .
Dear Jaime,
1. The mormon church won't allow "unbelievers" in their building.
2. I won't give my daughter's hand away to a non-Christian.
3. I will not fund a ceremony in a mormon church.
Jesus is clear on this point sweetheart. I know you are really, really happy
and in love, but I cannot do these things. Love Dad.
my response, let me know if I was to harsh . . .
1. you're thinking of their Temples. Everyone is allowed in the church.
2. he is christian, they just add The Book of Mormon to their faith.
3. that's fine if you don't want to help me with the ceremony. i just want you there. don't do something that you'll regret.
if you don't want to do these things, that's your decision. i've gone this far in life with out you there.
i still love you, jaime
I just want him to know that I do love him, but I feel that he is trying to get out of having to come to the States. He keeps making these excuses. I don't see why in all my life he just now expresses concern on how I choose to live my life. Why now? Is it to get out of responsibility of helping with the ceremony? I don't need his money. I wonder if it's hard for him to face his mistakes and regrets? I know that he wishes he was a better dad, well now is the time to make up for that. Dad, please don't let me down at this important time in my life. I love you no matter what, but if you miss my wedding and refuse to accept Ben I don't know how involved I will allow you to be in my life. I'm sorry, but I have to FINALLY stick up for myself and what I believe.
