It had been a long cruise. Away with the Navy was no fun. But, there I was, off the ship after 6 months and home with my sweetie. Home on Thursday, just in time to get married on Saturday as scheduled.
So I spend the night at my friend's house, recovering from the jet lag of traveling home and trying to adjust to what is about to happen. Friday I spend the day getting a tux, rehearsal dinner, and all that stuff. The wedding is Saturday afternoon.
Saturady mornign first thing I go to my parents house with a bunch of roses for my mother. Won't it be good to see them...we still aren't good, but it is my wedding day.
The door opens "Oh, hello" she says stiffly.
"Hi...I bought you these".
"Well, I won't be coming to the wedding."
"Why not"
"You didn't come to see us until now. Your father has gone to the airport to get your grandparents. He'll be going, but I'm not."
"I just got back in the country"
"You got back int he country 2 days ago"
"I had a lot to do"
"If you don't have time for us I am not coming"
"Oh."
