My Wedding

VanillaMocha73

So, my mom's trailer flooded last week and her congregation lifted not a finger to assist. She was given 30 minutes to evac. She made it out with her clothes on her back and her cats. The congregation did nothing until suddenly on Sunday (which happened to be the date of my wedding) they decided to all pitch in so they could keep her from coming to my wedding. I'm not sure if I am going to forgive that little move. Somehow, she could not attend "another religious service" - even her own daughter's wedding. That is a loving religion for you isn't it?

I am sorry that happened on your wedding day VanillaMocha, but it's typical dub behaviour.

I wish you a wonderful married life.

I am absolutely INCENSED on your behalf, VanillaMocha. Those assholes. By the time the congregation got there, was there anything left to save? What a bunch of vicious, low-life losers. Given the way gossip traveld in congregations, I'm sure at least SOME knew that they picked your wedding day to show up to "help" your mom. I am so sorry. The best revenge is to have had a great wedding despite them.

That sucks. You must be very hurt.

Sorry to hear about your mother being so thought less.

Yeah, same thing here. We even planned to have our wedding outdoors so my mom and sister wouldn't have to step foot in a church. My mom was even excited about buying a new dress for the occasion. Well, I guess my holier than thou sister got to her and the next thing I know I get a phone call telling me the neither of them are coming to my wedding. I was pretty upset and a little embarassed. All of my wife's family was there, but only my two brothers attended.

What really takes the cake is about a year later my sister gets married to a "brother" that I was never even introduced to and she just couldn't understand why I never came to her wedding. I mean she didn't even send a card or anything to me and then is upset that I didn't attend her wedding. Oh well, I got the last laugh. A year after they were married they got separated becuase this wonderful "brother" is on drugs and watching porn. Now they are divorced. As for my wife and I, we will be married 7 years this May and are doing great.

Congrats on your wedding, Honey! May you love each other more with each coming year.

(That's one of the reasons we get married, is to CHOOSE our family!)

I hope you had a great day regardless. My parents came to my wedding, but mum was a total miseryguts. My siblings didn't even send a text message, and I'll never forget that.

Many many happy years to you!!
