Re: Re: AHHHHHH HOW SWEET!

Sorry again about your friend hon...


Wedding stories huh....well, current hubby and I did a traditional wedding long gown hair, nails, bridesmaids best man and all...at the beginning of our wedding when everybody goes in before the bride, we had more kids than adults and no one thought to have someone to help me send them in...I managed but after they went in and the bridal march started signaling for me to enter....I stood in the doorway and across this huge church auditorium everybody could hear "God she's beautiful...." touched me then and still does today. Made the mess with the kids all worthwhile.....sorry not real wild but other than my first hubby marrying me drunk as a skunk this was the better story.....

I am sure you were.... thanks for sharing your story. Come on folks? Any other wedding stories?

Bump again!

I didn't really have a "wedding" when I got married. I had worked all day, had to wear jeans, he would not even let me change clothes, we went and got the blood test. And tried to get the license but they were already closed. So we went to my local police station and he asked one of the cops if he knew of any where we could get license and get married? He told him he had a friend and it was in a close by county and he called them and set it up for us to meet him at the court house, the judge was a lady and the guy was the clerk. And they performed the "ceremony" and we signed the papers. I had just turned 19. We went over to his sister's house and told them and then went home. We didn't even have sex that night! I was a virgin. When my mom found out, it was Mother's Day weekend too, she almost hit the ceiling. And things were pretty bumpy from that day forward. He tooker me lower than I ever imagined and then finally I got up enough strength to tell him I wasn't going to live that way and for about a year we did pretty good until he started letting his family live with us again and he would quit/get fired from jobs and never work. And I realized I could do all this and more on my own and would probably be alot happier person and a better person too! I also knew that he was seeing other women, but it took me over a year to get proof. When I got it, I filed for divorced. We were married 3.5 years and it seemed like a 100. I aged, my way of looking at ppl and life definitely changed and I struggled with it for many years. I later got pregnant with my son and his dad split. And again I shut down and just raised my son. I met a really nice guy at work that helped me through alot of that but didn't want marriage, relationship, etc.. just sex. However, I learned alot through the years and if it were not for him I don't think I would have been able to get pass all the bad past and get my heart to the place to where I could love/be loved again. And I probably would never have met AA and become the truly happy person today. I know that this is not the kind of story you were probably looking for, but that is my story.

Wedding is over

And man am I tired. We had to have it all set up and ready the day before and then even did stuff up to the wedding, did the wedding and then tore it all down and cleaned up. So I am exhusted.
Everything went just great. Her grandmother who is dying of cancer made it. And we had a great time together and wedding was very romantic. I about lost it before I had to walk her down the isle but held on until the father daughter dance. She shared with me how she loved me and was so thankful for all the things I did for her as her dad. She said I could not have asked for a better father. You are just awesome. I got so chocked up and lost it. I said to her.... it was and honor and a blessing to have been able to be your father. That is when she lost it.
We stopped dancing and just hugged each other.
Ok... I am getting teary eyed again....
Thanks again for all your prayers and thoughts...

 

[Missingmeds]

It's good to know that the wedding went well Spenser. I was thinking about you this weekend and what you have been thru with this.

May the marriage be all that she wants it to be.

Now maybe you can relax a little and enjoy for a while.

Aloha Spencer and everyone in the Pub. Discovered this thread from another thread I partake in.

First of all it's good to hear there are dad's like you out in the world She's lucky to have you and you her. Wish her and her new hubby the very best.

I lasted 17 years in my marriage before I realized I needed to get out before something drastic happened to me. Sad to say it's left it's scars but they are healing with each passing day. One thing came out of all of this - I found someone who treats me great and helping me heal and taught me the ability to trust and love again.

Anyway aloha from Hawaii and have a good day folks.

That is right. I posted it in that room. And thanks for the nice invite to the Islands and the invite for the tour. I just may do that.
I am also a BIG MAGNUM fan and would love to see the sights they shot at. I know that is a different island tho.
So glad you have found out thread and looking forward to getting to know you.
Well ladies... I am back from my trip and really tired. I will check back in tomorrow...

FYI - Magnum was done here on concrete juingle isle, hehe and I've seen the house , drool These local shows that ppl see sometimes makes me chuckle especially when they drive around and give directions. The best was Hawaii 5-0, "Ewa bound on Kapahulu" was often heard
and well, that road goes North to South, one can go Ewa (West) bound but one will end up in our famous Ala Wai Canal

Get some needed rest - you've gone through a lot recently. Talk to you and everyone else later...hope you have sweet, wet dreams
