Ok, so I havnt posted something on here in forever basicly. I have been so busy lately trying to find a full time job, work out, and plan the wedding. But its finally getting down there, under 100 days so im sooo excited for it. Have hit some setbacks/snags tho, of course it would make it all too easy for everything to go perfectly.
Probably the biggest thing right now is issues with my dad about money hes supposed to be giving us. When we first got engaged Dec. 2008 we went to our parents to see whats help they would be giving us for the wedding. My parents are divorced, so i asked them to each give the same as the other and they agreed to $1500 each. Well my mom has given us her part to pay for wedding things, but my dad has yet to give us a single cent. He keeps claiming that he has no money because he has a mortgage and other bills, and had to pay child support for my sister. But now that my sister is 18 she has gone over to dads to live, pretty much believe she was boughten to go over there with bribes of whatever she wants. So now after courts my dad has Olivia and mom has to pay him for child support until she is finished with hig school, she will be a senior this year. So now that he has all this money coming his way, from mom and gets to keep all his money now, ud think he'd be helping us our with the wedding.... Oh no! He still keeps giving stupid excuses of bills or mortgages, he works at a frickin paper mill and makes a ton of money a year, i know i worked there during the summers to pay for school, its gooooood money. Im just getting so frustrated with him I dont know what to do anymore, im just getting so sick of having to ask him for money all the time and getting excuses. Its kinda humiliating. I still want him to walk me down the aisle because hes my dad, but at the rate hes going i really could care less anymore.
Any advice from anyone?? Sorry its such a long post but i couldnt keep it in anymore.
i agree with macbride -- i think this is a good way to go about it. if he still makes excuses for giving you the money -- even though he agreed to -- ask him what it REALLY is. why is he just not willing to anymore? it might be something you can talk out.
