Had rehearsal diner on Friday....not too great
So Friday was the rehearsal. Got to the church at 7, got everyone lined up. ok fine. 4 Flowergirls, Johns 2 nieces (6 and 3) my niece (21 months) and my friend Nichol's daughter Gianna (3). My BM Dawn is walking in with my cousin Chris who is 12, he's pretty tall for his age, but not tall enough for her. She complains that she doesnt want to walk in with a short kid...too bad thats how it is. Flowergirl Gianna is afraid of churchs so she has her eyes squeezed so tight and she is crying hysterically. The 3 remaining girls all hold hands with the baby in the middle all is fine. Gianna stops crying, great.
The deacon makes us go through it one more time, Gianna starts crying again. Now Johns oldest niece starts with her little attitude and wont hold my nieces hand and throws a tantrum, so the other niece being the good girl that she is takes the baby and walks with her.
Now we come to the dinner itself. It was a Roma View in HB. The food was great and everyone was having a good time. After the grooms cake and my cake (FI had a Barbie bride cake it was so cute, will post pics soon) we give iout the gifts. I bought gifts for my parents and told John to get for his parents. WELLLLLLL John said what am I gonna get for my father, FOG's dont get anything I said John get him a little something.......guess what he never did. So now everyone is getting gifts and there is nothing for FFIL. FMIL starts crying, which gets John upset which gets FFIL upset....and then its all my fault. FI said why did you give your parents the gifts now???? huh when was I supposed to give it to them?? I said John all you had to say when you saw your mom getting upset was that you ordered something but it didnt get here yet, then go home and order something and send it 2 day express.....
So all day saturday and half of yesterday FMIL was upset with him (us I guess), hopefully she is over it somewhat. He did order his dad something and it should arrive tomorrow.
I didnt want to say I told you so but.........
