Anyone need any pis? I am bored out of my f-ing mind tonight.

FI is sleeping. I am wide awake. I will research whatever you guys are looking for tonight. I need something to entertain me.

I don't have anything for you to research but I have a situation w/ my dad... need advice..
My parents have been divorced since I was 3months old and I grew up with my mom. To make a long story short, I told my dad the other day that I wanted him AND my mom to walk me down the aisle and he FREAKED out! He told me that he was not doing it and that he will sit in the back of the church by himself.

I need pic's....

I need Bok's with red roses and umm...something...small hand tied...something like bright pink with it...my girls are wearing red and I hate the way red roses and white ones, or red and white for that matter go together but I cant find any bok's I like.....and we are having a ton of red roses petals at reception so we need to tie that in....

That sucks!
What was his 'reason' that he freaked out? My parents are divorced also (since I was 11). Dad lives in Fla. now, and is contributing NOTHING to the wedding... I haven't told him yet, but plan to have mom walk me down. I think he will not say anything but he might (although he should have NO argument b/c he is not doing ANYTING for me!)... It's tough!.
How close are you to your father? Is he helping with the Wedding?
Are your mom and him on speaking terms?

We're here for you!

Re: Anyone need any pis? I am bored out of my f-ing mind tonight.

Thank You!! He gave us money for half of the reception and FH and I paid for everything else ourselves. Over past few years my dad and I have gotten closer. It would really mean alot to my mom if she walked me down the aisle too. We have had a bad year..
My stepfather (my mom was married to him for 25yrs) passed away in Feb. And now my wedding is coming, a very happy occasion but so sad at the same time. I am very close to my mom too

Matthew Robbins from Artfool. He is in all the mags, and on all the covers of Martha. Best part is that he is the nicest person ever. I have a major crush on him. Check out his website...especially the press pictures.

Sorry you are going through that...I don't think it is right for him to say that. It's your day. Was it a bad break up? It really should be your decision...and he should do it not because of feelings for your mom, but for you. It's a hard situation...I do believe that if you are close w/ your mom, you should have the option of having both of your parents walk with you. I don't think you were wrong by asking that. It's just a short walk and it would mean the world to you. If you can talk to him in a way that maybe he would understand how you feel and just do it for you. It's your wedding day...all the personal bitterness should be put aside during that time.

Ask him why and explain that it is pretty common. Address his concerns...he probably feels like others will think it is a slight to him. If he knows that it is common, then maybe he will understand. However, if he is an irrational, manipulative person, I would decided whether you want to concede or not.

Sorry I was responding to a ton of FMs. What do you mean by cool cakes? Just really nice ones?

KelOct04 Posted: Aug 05, 2004 11:23 PM

Re: Anyone need any pis? I am bored out of my f-ing mind tonight.

I am letting him cool down for now.. He just kept saying 'that's not how it's done'. My mom has no idea that I am fighting w/ my father about this and if I tell her that we are figthing about this, it will start something with her about him. Either way, someone's feelings are going to be very hurt. Right now, mine are.

suezboss Posted: Aug 05, 2004 11:23 PM

Re: Anyone need any pis? I am bored out of my f-ing mind tonight.

I definately think that you should talk to your dad and mention how you feel about this. It is normal to want BOTH parents walk you down the asile. It's your day, and it really STINKS that b/c of divorce we have to go through all this stupid stuff! I wish parents could just remember that it's not what THEY want that matters, but what the couple wants!

See he thinks it conveys he was less of a dad because you have her in the pic. Really if you address his concerns he should be fine. However, as a therapist, I know that if he is irrational, then logic will never work.

a friend of mine went through the same thing. she went back and forth becauise its so hard to choose but if you have that special relationship with your mom you should stick to your choice. my friends father refused to walk down with her mother but she made sure that there father daughter dance was the first soecial dance of the evening and kept reminding him that she loved him

Re: Anyone need any pis? I am bored out of my f-ing mind tonight.

and It is sad that you are the one who's feelings are getting hurt! (I can relate!)... but hopefully once your dad cools down, you can explain why it's important to you.
