Husband / Wife Association

I got re-married just shy of a month ago on July 8, 2009 (to the American folk, that's 07/08/09.. yeah we're clever). There were a lot of difficulties with the wedding and things that Charlie and I both had trouble coming to terms with. Before I really talk about them, I want it understood that we're past them - they are just important to what I have to blog about.

We weren't included in many decisions for the wedding. It seemed like every time Charlie and I made a decision, we were either argued with or completely ignored. While a couple members of Charlie's family really pitched in and made our wedding special, it bothered me a lot that I wasn't included in any of the planning. No one took me to go shopping for that ribbon to be used on my bouquet or the napkins to wrap around the eating utensils. I wasn't included when the little party favor bags were made or even designed for that matter. No one thought to ask my opinion on anything - and it was supposed to be my day. Okay, so I've been married before. But it didn't mean the day way to be any less special to me. And that's where this blog comes in.

It was Charlie's day too and he's still having a hard time associating me with the term "wife" and I admit I struggled with calling him my husband at first as well. It's a real shame because I know Charlie feels cheated. He expected it to be a wonderful day full of happy memories and besides the actual "I Do" part and Hailey being there, I can't say I have many happy memories of the occasion - hell I hardly have memories of it at all.

It just seemed like the whole day was a struggle. In the end, it really doesn't matter. We're married and we're so deeply in love with one another. That's all that's important. I just wish the day had been better - for him most importantly. In the end, the following picture is all that really matters.

Wow.. that's rather rude.

That is rude, says a lot as to what kind of person "Anonymous" is though.

I didn't know you didn't have a hand in the planning...that's a shame. It's supposed to be YOUR special day, and Charlie's too, even if someone else is paying for it doesn't mean they can just take over...that's just rude.
