Hey Readers,
Matt and I had another effective weekend. Invitations should be complete within the next few weeks. They look great! However, I do not recommend making your own invitations from scratch... it is far too much work but actual invitations cost way too much. Eh, its what you need to do when your on a budget.
Speaking of budget.... everyone reading is aware of the wedding drama that has been going down with select parties. Well Id just like to put it out there that someone who could remain nameless, but wont because it is just WAY too much fun to point this out... Blair is going to pay half of Rachel's college tuition (which is awesome and I wish he would have done so for matt) That is apparently the newest reason he could not donate to the wedding fund. Now, Im not pissed at anyone for not being able to chip in because we all understand that money is tight but when you
A- Dont have a mortgage because you live with your mother
B- Dont pay for your car/gas because your work does
C- Get a yearly bonus of XX,XXX amount each year
D- Kicked your youngest son out the house and have one less mouth to feed
E- Can hold his 'EX' wife and 'ex' step son on his health policy
F- Collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from your divorce with LISA
G- Buy 2 of ur kids LAP TOPS for christmas
H- And house hunt in Baltimore
I- Take weekend getaways and vacations with other peoples kids
There is no reason he should not have additional money SAVED for when HIS kids get married. Writing a check for Rachel's college is awesome but it proves that there is extra money saved for his kids. Seeing how he didnt pay shit towards Matts education, its a jack ass move on his part. Now that everyone has read this... lol if Rachel doesn't get money for college, u can all think hes a bigger liar than before. He will tell people that he helped matt with college, but if that was true, Matt wouldnt owe what he owes. What he might be referring to is when Matt and I went to Italy.. JACKIE used frequent flier points to discount his ticket and JACKIE tried to pay off some of his loans (which did not dent what he owed). That marriage didnt last long and again, Blair will blame Lisa and his kids but the truth is he is a liar LOL and hide the fact that he went to anger management classes because he is a wife beater...along with other things.
Its my blog and I can discuss whatever I want... its not like any of this shit is new. Now I'm going to stop wasting my time talking about a dead beat dad when I am obviously making this wedding work. Bottom line is that this is happening and I am going to marry the best man I have ever and will ever meet. We love each other and if having an elaborate wedding was important to us, we would have went another way in doing this but God has provided us with this plan and its working JUST fine. If that pisses people off then stop reading and ignore everything. Matt and I have been counting down the days on FB and listing one reason a day why we love eachother... some people think its GAY and that we will not have enough reasons for the 97 days we have left but we will lol. In fact, I think Matt and I's relationship is so unlike everyone else' generic relationship that this is why our relationship will work. When you experience what we have... you just understand what makes your relationship standout from everyone else. Matt and I both come from broken families and I could spend forever bitching about both of them, but what we learned from our effed up family drama, is how NOT to treat each other. Some people will say love is complicated but if your love is complicated then what you think is love... can't be. Loving someone should be easy..not complicated. Im not saying that love does not require work but working for love should be a simple emotion... something that does not piss you off when you need to do it. I love every piece of relationship that is thrown at me and matt. Enough with the mushy love talk.
I look forward to our new life together and love the people who will become my new family... even if some of them don't care for me. I accept what I have and could not ask for anything better. I am truly blessed. Thanks for reading.

:) You tell them, Melissa, I applaud you! That really is crap though, he should be able to help pay if he has done all that other stuff. It's sad that he refuses to help pay because he seems unhappy that you are marrying Matt. Anyone else would be more than happy to have you as a daughter-in-law, you are an awesome girl! But seriously, forget him! He's not worth the time and energy. (P.S.-Take pictures of the invites!!)
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty shitty. . .as much as it stings being treated like that by a family member, hopefully one day you can say "c'est la vie" and not be bothered by his evidently serious issues.
ReplyDeleteYou probably could have broken down Point I) even moreso down the alphabet, but i feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I alone can think of 100 reasons to love matt (no homo), so, it shouldn't be that difficult for the love of his life to. lol :P
It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people had to deal with that whole mess (I might have to whenever Kevin and I marry). You guys are obviously doing a great job on your own, and there's no changing other people, so don't even worry about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd are people really complaining about the Facebook love countdown? I think it's adorable!
