- 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 :)
- 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 :(
- 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
- 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
- My mom said she would talk to my dad about his dickheadedness
- And it didn't matter, we would plan my wedding without him
- 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
Isn't this shit supposed to be the best time of my life?!?
