I Feel Like A Selfish Biotch! ~EDIT~

So I talked to Jacob’s mom last night.  She called to tell me happy birthday.  While we were chatting, I asked her what she was thinking about having Hannah in the wedding.  It basically came down to the fact that she wants to  decide in a couple of weeks what she is going to do.  She wants to watch how Hannah reacts to the medication they put her on now.  If she has a good reaction then she may keep her in the wedding.  If not then it will be my friend Andrea in the wedding instead.

All I can think of is how Hannah has been acting over the past few weeks.  Aside from the fact that she has had major seizures, there is the fact that she has been completely off her rocker because of the seizures.  In the back of my mind I can’t help but worry about her doing something embarrassing not only to us but to herself while she is standing in front of a big group of people.  OR even worse, having a seizure in front of a big group of people.  I probably sound like a selfish bitch… but it comes down to the fact that I don’t want my wedding day remembered for the girl who acted crazy or the girl who had the seizure during the ceremony.

If she would have a seizure during the ceremony, I can pretty much guarantee that the wedding would not happen.  I would have stressed out about this day, and spent a large amount of money for this day, only for it to be ruined.  Ruined because Jacob’s mom doesn’t want to make Hannah feel bad that she may not be well enough to actually be in the wedding.

Evidentally Hannah thinks that she is worthless to the world right now.  I guess before all the seizures started, she had applied to take some classes at some college or something.  Well the school, not being aware of what has been going on with her, called yesterday to set up a time for Hannah to come in and talk about her classes or something.  Since she had answered the phone, she went ahead and set up the appointment.  Mary ended up having to tell her that she wouldn’t be able to go just yet, and now Hannah is upset and thinking the whole worthless thing.

So add that into the equation now.  That is why Mary doesn’t want to decide right now whether or not to have her in the wedding.  She doesn’t want to make her feel like she can’t do anything.  I can understand from that aspect, which is why I didn’t really say much when she said that she wanted to wait and see in a couple of weeks.

OHHH… and then you have to throw in the fact that they still have NO money.  How the hell are they even going to GET to the wedding?  Well I can tell you this… I’m not paying for the tickets.  Right now, two round trip plane tickets are going to be about $668.

The situation is pretty messed up, but I’ve decided that I’m not going to postpone the wedding because of this.  Unless Jacob throws a fit about it, and then I wouldn’t have a choice.  It’s pretty bad that our lives as husband and wife are starting out filled with drama.  Not the most ideal situation.  *sigh*

~EDIT~
I did forget to mention that my mom is buying our cake for us!!!  It’s going to be $329.  Glad I don’t have to pay for it.  LOL  AND it’s going to be the cake that I wanted from the beginning!  Here’s a picture!

It will be the full 4 tiers, and the top tier will be decorated as well.

I also got these items for the wedding from The Knot.


This with the letter C.


10 of these for the wedding reception.


2 orders of these (100 matchbooks/order)  I ordered the red ones with the hearts.


2 bags of heart shaped wedding rice (SAFE FOR BIRDS AND ANIMALS)

My Aunt Vicki bought Jacob and me the toasting glasses.  They are really neat looking, but not really personalized.  I’ll probably have them engraved after the wedding.  I also got a mug for the maid of honor and the best man with the same design on the glass.  I’ll have to take a picture when I can of them.  I left everything that we bought for the wedding in Nebraska, so that I wouldn’t forget it here.  =)

Okay… enough of the edit.  I feel better now after adding some positive things to this entry.  =)  I seriously need to get back to work.  LOL

Laters,

…in from the diary circle. First: I got those same cameras for my wedding, and they were JUNK. Seriously, I got about three useful pictures out of the 10 that I bought. I’ve had much better luck with the ones from Wal*Mart, even though they don’t look as pretty. As for Hannah….I’m just getting here, so I (of course) don’t know the whole story. I had a problematic neice, though/…

I didn’t want her to be IN the wedding, but I didn’t want to leave her out, either. I found a nice medium: we bought her a coordinating dress that was similar but not the same as the ‘maids dresses. We had her in charge of giving out programs and reading in the wedding. Then she was in charge of the guest book. She was happy having important jobs, but ….

…her jobs were easily pawned off one someone else at hte last minute. Then I was able to find a nice leather travel picture frame that held the readings she did for me. I printed them up nice and big for ease of reading. After the wedding, she got to keep the frame as her own special momento from the wedding. Maybe something similar could work for you? Good luck!

I personally don’t think it is being selfish for you to worry about her having a seizure during the wedding…I mean, as much time, effort, money, and stress that goes into planning a wedding….I would be very worried about something happening during your big day! Hopefully it all works out! ps. I love the cake!

hah someone else had that cake on the boards! or was it you and I am just not realising? lol! you’re not being selfish, it’s a tough situation. If being in front of a lot of people might give her a seizure, it really is better for her, not just you, to not to do it. I hope she makes the right decision xx

I wish you were closer. I could do that cake for you for about $100. Then you would have more money for…bubbles. You have to have bubbles! Best wishes!

Your cake is friggin awesome! I love it. Your not being selfish. Your not only looking out for her welfare, your making sure your wedding doesnt get ruined. It is an awful lot of money and worry to spend on a day that if she were to sieze wouldnt happen. So, your not selfish, just very smart! *hugs*
