Our wedding date is, or was suppose to be October 6th of this year.
Back story
Things were coming along until last month. My mom told me that she didn't approve of our marriage (we've been together three years) and she doesn't think he is husband material. She says she can't tell me what she means by husband material because she doesn't know but she just feels he isn't. She also told him that we don't have her blessing and she doesn't approve. My dad is being supportive.
Last week, my parents and I went to speak with our Pastor and he was so confused because he has seen/met with Edward and myself quite a few times. He told my parents that we aren't going into this blind, we're adults and we aren't going blind into this. Again, my dad was supportive.
Edward said that he couldn't marry me without my family's approval because he doesn't want to cause any hurt or anger and that he is looking out for my best interest. Ugh, why can't people understand that I can look at my best interest?
Cut to this morning.
He asked for the ring back and here I am, at work focring myself not to cry. I can't change his mind, I made my points and feelings known but he doesn't want to disrespect my family. I know that my mom knew this would happen, she knew that he wouldn't have asked me to marry him if they didn't approve WHICH THEY DID! And BAM my mom changes her mind.
What is all weird, is that my whole family likes him, my brother, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles and so on think he is a great guy (and he is!) and my parents like him too. My mom just threw a curve ball in this with the sudden dissaproval.
My head is pounding, my eyes are burning. I'm a wreck. I'm thankful that no one has noticed or at least mentioned that I'm not wearing the ring.
I don't know where I'm going with my vent but thank you for letting me vent.
