Living on edge

Now that you are engaged, do you find yourself fearful of things you've never even considered before?

I'm petrified of something happening to my father. One of my main motivations of having a true wedding was that I wanted my father to walk me down the aisle. Being that the wedding is so far off, so much could happen and I don't know if I would have a large wedding if he wasn't able to walk me down the aisle. This has been something so important to him and that makes me want that moment even more for us.

my dad passed away not too long ago..i don tknow if i want any1 walking me down the aisle.. ill prob make a joke about it and shimmey down by myself but i duno..i knwo hes gone but i dont feel like he is.. too many signs that hes still around..

like....... he planted 2 fig trees14 yrs ago.. they would only grow bout 10 figs a yr.. but since he passed away.. no joke.. my mom said she pulls about 60+ figs EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS...i know it sounds stupid..but he def has something to do with it.. those 2 trees were his passion lol

I'm sorry for your loss, but that really is an awesome story. I totally agree with you, it's your father saying hi. FH doesn't believe in this sort of thing. Going to tell him this story as yet more proof that once you close your eyes for that final time, that's it.

I worry about something happening to one or both of my grandparents that would prevent them from being there at the wedding.

Even more so since my grandfather had a milkd heart attack last year. He's been doing better but he's in his early 80's. I just worry a lot.

I don't know if I could go through with the whole wedding if they weren't going to be there.

It bothers me that much.

i think about my grandparents. sometimes family members are like 'oh its so far away, i wish it was closer' and then it gets me worried that something might happen to a grandparent in all this time

Re: Living on edge

I worry all the time, about everything.

Parents/relatives making it to the wedding day: check.
The economy: check. check.
My health: check. check. check.
Money: BIG FREAKING CHECK.
Housing Market: Another check there.

It goes on, and on... I try to squash it but it comes back.
