My latest transition is that I will be getting married this October. And it has yet to be an easy ride. To give you a little background, my parents are divorce which for most people would be OK, except that they are paying for the wedding. And neither one wants to pay more then the other. Not only that, but my father is living overseas with his new wife and son. My only communication with him is through e-mail and my grandmother. Normally I wouldn't mind this, except if my grandmother is upset with me, so is my father. So, I try to keep on good terms with both of them.
I wish that my fiance and I could come up with the finances our selves, but just like many other people in the United States we have had bad luck with the economy. Actually I wasn't expecting to get engaged so soon because at the time my fiance did not have a job. But he had surprised me with his family ring in the Botanical Gardens. It's beautiful and even more special because not only did it come from him, but from him family as well.
I have had many discussions with my family about the wedding. Mostly because of the guest list. You see, my family is Russian on both sides. If they had the chance they would invite the whole St. Louis Russian Jewish community to my wedding. Not only would that be unfair for my fiance's family, but my budget would be over drawn. I hate to be the wedding budget Nazi, but it is the only way to keep them from over inviting people.
I'm looking forward to be married. I'm just not looking forward to dealing with my own family as I get there.
