Stuck in a moment and I can't get out of it

I swear I have aged 40 years since Thursday. When I have this many thought running through my head, I like to use bullets to I don't for get anything. I also try to do them in order, but that doesn't always work, so forgive me.

  • This past Thursday, I got engaged to the love of my life!
  • He bought my dream ring that I have been talking about pretty much since we met :)
From there, it went downhill

  • Told my mother, she was ecstatic. Told my father, he was not so much. Side note: he STILL hasn't said congratulations
  • He couldn't even be bothered to look at my ring which
  • Pissed my fiance off and in turn
  • Pissed me off
  • My fiance had to fly back to Seattle :(
Then it got a little better

  • My mom assured us that she and my father would pay for the wedding
  • Her getting excited about dress shopping, planner shopping, and shopping in general made me get excited
But of course, it didn't last

  • Turns out my dad is racist
  • He went so far as to give me reading material on hate crimes and the dangers that can befall an interracial couple
  • He claims to have no money to pay for a wedding
Then it went up a little

  • My mom said she would talk to my dad about his dickheadedness
  • And it didn't matter, we would plan my wedding without him
Sigh, when will I learn

  • She tells me SHE can't afford to pay for a wedding
  • I have a sneaking suspicion my father has managed to change her mind
So basically I went from over the moon because I'm finally engaged to my soul mate to wanting to jump out of my office window because it looks like I won't be having a wedding.

Isn't this shit supposed to be the best time of my life?!?
