A very sweet gesture from my step dad....

Little Madam, 5 July, 2010 at 11:57 Posted on Planning 0 11

I know that wedding planning isn't always the fairytale it's made out to be but I had a lovely gesture from my stepdad at the weekend so I thought i'd share and it might make a "smile ripple" Smiley smile

I was in my room, very stressed following an argument with H2B over money but you know when everything gets on top of you, was stressing about the venue and my dress? My OH had been out drinking the previous night, when he said he wouldn't, spent £80 on a cab as he missed their ride home and then LOST his car keys - for his new car, which mean the spare was also on the keyring and then as he couldn't get into his room to charge his phone - didn't call till 3pm by whcich time me and his mom were very worried. I phoned Fiat to replace the key and was told the bill would be £1,000!! - thankfully one of his friends had them - I didn't ask why as I didn't care as long as they are back, and I have now sorted the dress and venue stresses.)

...anyway back to the story..

...my stepdad came into my room, sat on my bed for a heart to heart but just told me he wanted to pay for my wedding car and my bridal boquets and buttonholes!

I was very happy and appreciated it so much.

    I know - I didn't expect it at all either as mom was paying for my dress etc... Although thinking about it I can see why - mom has been "putting money aside" for my wedding dress since I was 15, and before she met my step dad.. I just saw them as one and considered the gift to come from both, but pleasently suprised.

    And yep me and H2B all OK now the keys have been found! Smiley smile

    Yep he sure was a numpty - and he knows! lol

    Still, no real damage done this time... And he has learned a valuable lesson and removed the spare key from the key ring (Like I asked him to weeks ago)! Smiley smile

    I know - bless him, he is good.

    Have decided I am going to ask him to sign the register on my behalf - my dad is giving me away and I dont feel it's right for my stepdad to be involved in walking me down the aisle.

    Haha thats what I tell OH - I will always love him, just sometimes he drives me mad.

    OH has said sorry and is working hard on the wedding things he was putting off to make up for it..
