DRAMA!
Been a bit of event planning whiplash.
One of my cousins has been dating a (very nice) German guy for a couple years now, and they recently got engaged. After consultation with an immigration attorney, they decided to move their plan for getting married in September up to July 6-7th.
My folks had decided to host July 4th celebrations this year. I was already planning my menu...
But with news of the accelerated wedding plans, they invited them and his family to join us, since they would be in town. Alas, his mom is afraid of most dogs...and we have wooves.
So we then offered to bring stuff to the home of the MotB’s house. But the MotB was having a bad day, freaked out by the wedding planning and a pair of MD’s appointments AND
her fiancé being in a snit because the other daughter (who dislikes him) is coming...and so is the MotB’s ex- the father to the bride and her sister. So naturally, she too Mom’s offer to help as a trigger to freak out. (This isn’t all that unusual- she has been known to freak out because a leaf fell in early Autumn.) Mom eventually calmed her down.
As the saying goes, though, shiii
errrrrrrr “poop” rolls downhill, so soon afterwards, I got a call from a very angry Bride.
Long story slightly abbreviated, we’ve got reservations for the 4th at a local steakhouse.
