Your What?

(Sorry mom, but this goes with my story.)

Okay, so my mom's been married three times already. She divorced her last husband in 2005. When they separated, she sort of went on to 'find herself.' Well, she went on a three year search and during that time, I felt like the adult in our relationship and she wasn't much of a grandparent to my children.

So, when she called and asked if she could come over and visit, I was kind of shocked. She also asked if it was okay for her to bring a "friend" over. I'm sure I rolled my eyes when I told her yes. Well, a little while later they showed up and I was introduced to Gary. He was very nice and softspoken. The boys were playing with a slot car race track and he joined them. We talked about my primary calling and she said they had been seeing each other for about a week and a half. We visited for a bit longer and they left.

A few days later, Brian and I were going to a movie. We had just pulled into the mall parking lot and my phone rang. It was my mom. This was our conversation:

Me: Hey mom

Mom: Hi Amber. Are you busy.

Me: Just about to go to a movie.

Mom: Well, I'll be quick...Remember Gary from the other night?

Me: Yeah...he's real nice.

Mom: Well, I'm glad you think so, because we are getting married.

Me: WHAT???!!!???

Mom: Yeah, and I'd like you to sing at the wedding.

Me: WHAT????

Mom: We are getting married and I want you to sing. Will you do it?

Me: Well, I guess. What do you want me to sing?

Mom: Just choose one of the songs you like to sing that's appropriate for a wedding and it will be fine. the wedding is on Thursday.

Me: Thursday, like in two days Thursday?

Mom: Yes. It will be over at Gary's sister's house.

Me: Yeah...alright...I'll call you later.

Mom: Okay, bye.

I turned to Brian and said "WHAT???"

I called my mom that evening and talked to her. She told me that this really wasn't something she was jumping into head-first. She said they prayed about it and even went in and talked to the Bishop. He told them he felt strongly that this was a good thing and they should go ahead and get married. He would perform the ceremony.
