Ok, so since my vent post a few days ago, I'm finally getting into the wedding planning and started getting excited about it. (Got the bridesmaid dresses today and I must say, they are supoib). But man, with his parents, I can't help but be amused by all this.
FI's dad calls him up on Monday night and asks him if he had talked to my parents about moving the wedding date to May. FI says no, it's going on as scheduled. Period. (He even wants to address the STD envelopes, so he's getting into it as well). Well commence the whining and complaining and FI doesn't back down, so his dad tries another tactic.
FI's dad says "well how do you feel about Northern California? Do you like Redwoods?" FI says "sure, I guess". FI's dad goes "Well, I was thinking that you, me and you mom can go and take a family vacation up to Northern California to see the Redwoods around October 5th."
Hello, that's 3 days after we get married! And to top it off, that's the preliminary date because FI's mom is planning on going on that Jerusalem Tour with her church in October but she "doesn't know if it's in the beginning of October or in the middle of October". So essentially, they're trying to force our hand to change the date by scheduling vacations either during the wedding or immediately after the wedding. Even FI is exasperated by all this and told his dad that he doesn't want to go to Northern California with them.
As for the Tour with the church, if it happened to fall on our wedding day and she brings it up like "well it looks like you'll have to change it", I'm not going to be falling into that trap. I'm just going to say "so sorry you'll miss the wedding, at least we'll know what your priorities are and it obviously doesn't include your son".
I'm just finding this so amusing how they're trying to manipulate us into changing the date...it's not working though, especially when they receive the STD in the mail, cementing the fact that we're not changing it.
