My dad's uncle is ill, and he might even pass before the wedding. It's extremely sad, and I hope for my dad's sake he can hold out until after the wedding (he won't be coming to the wedding no matter what) because he is like a second father to my dad and I don't want my dad to feel sad on that day! (My dad came to the US when he was 16 and lived with his uncle through high school/college).
Today he told me that it is tradition in Iran that when a family member passes, weddings are cancelled. So there's a chance that some of our family members may not come at the last minute. This man is so kind though- he has said it is his wish that no one follows this "stupid tradition" (his words) and everyone still celebrate as planned.
On an unrelated note, FI and I had our first sort of major wedding arguement this weekend. We argued about whether or not their should be music playing while we are cutting the cake. .... Seriously. We are both in cuckoo land.
Fortunately, we leave in 3 weeks exactly, and once we're in Vegas it is party time.
Anyone else care to share a truly ridiculous wedding arguement?
