What Would You do?!

[Allie1981]

So I went to a wedding expo with my future sister-n-law and I had a lot of fun. I also recieved a phone call from my fiance in Iraq. And we started talking about our wedding. I know we will be the ones that will be paying 90 percent of the bill so we have decided to have our wedding in May of 09. But now i'm having second thoughts b/c both sets of parents have been really stressing that maybe we should have gotten married before he left. Unfortunately we would not have had time since we decided to on getting married the weekend before he left.

I don't know maybe I am being selfish and should have a civil ceremony when he gets home and then have the big wedding like we planned. Yes it would be nice call him my husband but I just can't get around the fact that my father would not be there to give me away and I wouldn't be walking down the Aisle to him. I know why our families would like us to do this I mean it would be nice not for people to look at me funny when I talk about my pregnancy and have to explain that my fiance is overseas. But it was the cards that we were dealt and so far we have handled it as well as we can. I just hope I'm not being selfish because I want to have a wedding and have my father walk me down the Aisle. Not have a blessing later.

Jan. 30, 2008 at 3:32 PM my husband and i got married after he was done with bootcamp. our son was just a few months old. i had to, and still do actually, have to deal with people who think our son is not his. i am waiting for money to have a dna test done to make them shut up and quit making me feel like a whore. and the dna test was my idea. my husband and i are going to have the actual ceremony with family and friends there after he comes home from iraq.
