One Month to Go and Annoyed...

I can't belive that it is only one month until my wedding. I also can't believe that today makes 5 years that my father has been a state police. Crazy how fast time moves in some ways but in others seems to crawl. Though lately I believe it has been flying by since we are trying to get the house ready to live in by the wedding. We have been working on it what seems like night and day. We are working on sheetrock, and plumbing mostly right now. This past weekend we worked on some vinyl siding to help shelter part of the outside from the rain.

Well on to the wedding...we met with our priest for the last time last night. I felt so tired from fighting with him when we left. I mean I don't expect for the wedding to go on without a hitch but it has been such a pain that I don't think I deserve any other hitch besides him. He is nice enough but is like everything we want and ask him then his answer is that well I can't absolutely forbid you buuuuuttt it is really perferred that you do not. Then when we would press farther since he can't forbid us ...he would find something to read and support his opinion and pretty much say ok so I guess you won't be doing that. Or he would ask what we would think and pretty much ignore whatever we said. It was mostly petty things but things that girls and guys dream and imagine in weddings. Such as no flower petals put on the floor due to cleanup...I am like if we use fake petals really it is not a big deal. Obviously this man does not like to clean...or is afraid someone will have to bend over and pick up maybe 20 fake rose petals...really is it that much of an inconvenience? He wants both Andrew and I to process and even though it was obvious that Andrew did not like the idea he really pressed that he should. Also, the entrance processional...we would like just music but he pushed for a hymn and then gave us an example of a program where they chose just music. I believe he wants to push us to his side and then convinces himself that we got there all on our own. And just some of the things that were said seemed like he was talking down to us like we were stupid...such as don't nail the bows to the pews...oh really ...I thought I would bring nails from our new house to use...I mean really do I look that dumb. By the end, I was really pissed. I was thinking we could just move the wedding outside of the church and have the circuit court clerk marry us because she will be in attendance anyway. Then what would he say to that? I guess he could see that he had pushed us away and not pulled us in. I just feel that he makes such judgements of me...of us withouting even knowing us except for the 30 seconds of questions at the beginning of our session. Ok, well enough ranting for now.
