I only looked at Target, but there wasn’t a single one to be found. I found one that said, “To Mom and Dad, on My Wedding Day.” But it’s not mine, it’s theirs! I considered crossing out the “my” and doing editor’s corrections in red ink, but I think it’s funnier in my head. Had to go with a plain “congratulations” card and write in what it was for.
Yep. My parents got hitched today. OK, he’s technically my step-dad, but they’ve been together since 1978, so he’s my dad as far as I’m concerned. They decided last week to make it official at the courthouse, so applied for the license and went back today to sign the papers or whatever you do at the courthouse. It’s so anti-climactic I didn’t go, didn’t need to be there, it would have been even weirder anyway.
Dad’s in poor health. I think they decided to make it official just because all the financial stuff will go easier, the documenting on their trusts and wills was getting out of hand. They want to make sure everything transfers properly to one or the other without probate or an executor having to step in, and then that everything transfers to me (not my stepsister - eesh, now she really is my stepsister!) when they’re both gone. So kinda a sad reason, really, but they’re happy. He’s been proposing every few years since they’ve been together, and she finally said yes!
Still, it’s weird.
