I've never posted on any type of forum before. I decided to do this to get some outside opinions about the current situation I'm in.
Here's my story....
I am 25 years old. My fiancee and I become engage on January 10, 2013 after six years of being together and living together for about 2 years. We are both very excited to guest married and have to set a date of April 27, 2014 in order to give ourselves plenty of time to save and plan our wedding.
On May 5, 2013 my mom sends me a picture of an engagement ring on her hand with no other text. I found this to be shocking because to my knowledge she did not have a current boyfriend. There was only a man I was able to meet once at her home when he came to pick her up at her house for a date, who she introduce as her friend.
My mom and her fiancee went to high school together about 16 years ago. My mom has been in constant contact with his sister over the 16 years, but only recently started communicating with him again since January this year.
The engagement occurred before my mother's Fiance had met my younger brother who is 21 and lives one hour drive away from us.
After the shock of the engagement, my mom and her fiance have decided to set a wedding date of September 15, 2013. Which is 7 months prior to my own wedding. She sees know reason why she should wait and is currently planning a big elaborate wedding.
Before I give any more details or opinions I would love to hear what others think about my current situation. Feel free to asks questions to get more background if you like.
