Okay, ladies, I have some questions for you. You see, my brother just got married last weekend, and they are currently on their honeymoon in WDW. Good for them! I'm a little envious, but otherwise, thrilled for them! My questions are regarding the wedding itself, and my parents.
My mother busted her buns for this wedding. She paid for the rehearsal dinner out of money she earned on the side of her other job, she made all the bridemaids dresses for free, and she and my father designed and printed their invitations. Not to mention all the work that she and I put into helping him plan the honeymoon... we even sent a box of goodies ahead to his hotel. Now it may be stereotypical, but it was hard for my mum to see him get married... sometimes its hard on the dads when daughters marry, and hard on the mums when sons marry. Anyhoo, at the reception, my brother was so antsy to get out of there and to the hotel (I wonder why
) that he nearly left without getting pictures of me and my sister, and he didn't even kiss my mum goodbye. He did, however, ask our father to drive him to the hotel, as his car had been sabotaged in fun.
Here's the rub. One minute, we were all standing around talking at the reception, the next, they were gone. My father didn't even tell us where he was going, just got up and left. My mum is terribly hurt. She is furious at my father for not telling her that he was driving my bro to the hotel... evidently he knew weeks earlier, and didn't tell her. I dont know WHY he or my brother didnt tell her... but they didn't. He's saying that it was my brother's place to tell her. He also gave my brother a cash gift which was from both my parents... without my mum there. She's furious about that, too. Now I am more upset at my brother. I understand wanting to get to the hotel, but he didn't even say goodbye. To any of us, but especially he should've hugged my mum goodbye. They have always been close. But my mum is so angry at my dad. I would be, too, I think, if it was my child's wedding. What do you guys think?
Sorry its so long. I just had to vent.
