Hay Bale Wedding

[Deleted]

Hay Bale wedding is today. I decided that we're not going and am faking sick. My sister told me our dad is contemplating the many ways he can kill H, so it seems best not to go.

There is an 80% chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon, with hail and high winds likely. There is also a tornado watch out. They are still going through with an outdoor wedding.

My mom is there now cooking the meal, which she was just asked to HELP with on Thursday. No one else is there and nothing is ready. She's cooking 75lbs on sausage and making potato casserole from scratch (peeling potatoes and all) for 300 people. She is pissed and called me cussing a blue streak, which I can't blame her for. MOB is also having a melt down because the bride is arriving in a horse drawn wagon, and people keep telling FOB how wonderful his horse team is, and MOB thinks they should be calling it their team, not just his team.

My mom promised to keep me update, with pics of any and all train wrecks.

Oh, RR, your cough sounds awful. So sorry you don't feel well. Get some rest and feel better soon.

this sounds like a movie, lol.

Are you in Indiana? I'm avoiding a similar wedding today. lol

[Deleted]

Why don't you go help your mom?

[Deleted]

Even if their wedding sucks, I'm sure they will be disappointed that you rsvped and didn't show at the last minute.

[Willis Jackson]

Your dad wants to kill your H?

I love your dad.

If this were me I would go by myself, help my mom, then stick around as long as I could without putting myself in danger of being killed by a collapsing barn or a horse team that's been spooked by thunder.

I would do the same, mostly because I'm nosy and would want to see the train wreck first hand.

Also, your dad is awesome.

Eh---on the other hand, it's two less meals her mom has to cook.

[pugz]

at least your mom can pass along stories. I'm sorry she got stuck cooking, boo hiss.

and ditto yay for your dad.

[pierogigirl]

I can't remember the backstory. Why is your mom staying to cook for a wedding she was invited to? I'm not that nice, I guess.

[Deleted]

Is there a way you could "drop something off for your mom" and sneak pictures for us? Please?! This sounds like an epic trainwreck!

The wedding is 2 hrs away from me, so it wasn't very feasible for me to run over and help, or I would have. It would also have blown my cover story.

It's my cousin getting married, so my aunt asked my mom to help, she just didn't know she was doing it all, and by herself. RSVPs aren't a big deal here, a lot of people don't even ask for them. I don't think I've ever been to a pay by the plate wedding.

[Deleted]

Wow that wedding sounds interesting... I feel awful for your Mom. Thumbs up to your Dad! He sounds kinda awesome.

Does your dad know what happened to your sister? Did he have a reaction to that?

I'm guessing RR will delete if she doesn't want it out there, so I'll link to the thread instead of saying.

omg. RR, how is your sister doing? I hope she realizes that she doesn't have to live this way.

Thanks dr. g.

Sister bought a new bedroom set so all is well according to her. I'll keep talking to her and keep telling her she deserves better.

I can't stop laughing at the "her" "their" issue. My guess is if she can't be bothered to help make the meal for her daughter's wedding she probably isn't the one who cares for said horses.

I see. Perfectly understandable.

Your sisters story has been on my mind, and I was also hoping to see an update that your dad was ready to kill your sisters dh. I hope your sister has a support system that helps her get perspective.
