Journal Entry for July 3, 2009 Mood
Friday, July 3, 2009 | A Sad story

I have never in my life saw a man who has such an opinion on a wedding as my future son in law.  

 

i have been cut out of planning my only daughters wedding.  i would have not gotten to take her for her dress if i did not plan a day when he was not available to do it.

 

anything favor she likes he doesn't and she is letting him choose everything.  all the manly men i know, let the woman plan her wedding and just say if that is what make you happy dear.

 

the kilts i let go, but she asks my opinion on the wedding party and the moment it is not what he wants, she whines to daddy that i am mean to her.

 

me and her should be doing the bulk of the planning, but i have been left out.  so i sit here crying my eyes out with a knife in my heart.  i told my hubby that i will not have an opinion no more and maybe someday i will stop crying.  i have waited so long to help plan her outdoor wedding with the sundresses that she has always wanted.  now she can't have sundresses cause they don't match the kilts and the guys and girls have to wear white tops so she blends in instead of standing out.  because that is the way the groom to be wants it and it has to be his way.   this is one very selfish man to steal the brides day from her.  she can't have the lovebird favors cause he don't like them.

 

later all

    wow- this is certainly making me feel nervous- how well does your daughter know him- i am so sorry you are dealing with this- i have so many mixed feelings about all this- i hope your daughter really knows what she is doing.

    Not good! Marriage is equal. Sometimes it may be 50/50, others 100/0, and many many other times anywhere from 0/100 - 100/0. A marriage is two parts, two people. I sure hope your daughter learns to speak up and stick up for herself. Otherwise, not a good future in sight. Sorry to say so, but the truth is right there. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    I agree. If he's this controling now I would be worried what the future will bring. Unfortunately there's not alot you can do if she won't let you. Sending lots of prayers your way. Hang in there!
