Do I Dare?
I’ve got this plan that I think I should carry out, but I’m a little scared of doing it. My parents have never told me anything about their wedding. I’ve never seen any pictures of it or anything. I know next to nothing about their meeting, courtship, etc. I’ve tried to find out, but they’ve stonewalled me. I finally realized now that my aunt has written to me, I know her e-mail address, and can ask her about it. I know my parents would be upset that I went and asked her personal questions behind their backs, but I know I’m never going to get the information otherwise. It just feels weird not knowing anything, and never even seeing a wedding picture (even though they apparently exist). I think talking to my aunt, who, honestly, I barely know, is my only real stab at finding out the truth. It couldn’t be any worse than any of the scenarios I can imagine (vomiting at the altar, some kind of ruckus where someone tried to stop the ceremony, the wedding never really having happened). I think whatever I find out will make me feel like more “pieces of the puzzle” are in place.
