In their fights to control each other Anderson and Mandy had put down rules about their parties te night before the wedding. There were to be no strippers, no getting too drunk, no dancing with the opposite sex, etc. Well, Anderson's party was at a bar/strip club/bowling alley- all in one building. Us girls headed to the biggest bar in town and got a little beyond drunk. Smashed is a good way to phrase it. With an open tab and strangers/friends from high school sending drink after drink it didn't take long before all the girls were tipsy. Mandy and Anderson maintained contact all night and when Mandy found out where the boys were she was livid....
We all got back to the hotel around 12:30am, an early night considering. The confrontation left everone dumbfounded at how two angry people with a clear lack of trust would be exchanging vows the next day. Mandy screamed at Anderson and Anderson walked away from her with out a single word. We all went to bed confused that night and the next day Mandy and I in a horrible hungover state began to prepare for the wedding with her still not sure it was even going to happen.
Well, it did happen. The ceremony went down just fine and everyone headed to the reception where Anderson's bitchy mom created so much drama the bride and her mother were in tears outside trying to calm down. It was all stupid and I don't really know the details. So, Anderson and Mandy were married. She had to finish one semester of college and then in December she would head West to the base where Anderson would have the house all set up for them.
Less than a month later Mandy calls me in tears muttering something about he cheated on me before we were married and again after the honeymoon...Daniel was right. the ass cheated on the most wonderful woman ever and then admitted it like it was no big deal. His mother and told Mandy to get over it and stick to the vows. mandy tried and come December she packed up everything and moved. It was evident to her that she couldn't forgiv him and he was hardly even talking to her. After a horrible christmas and awkward sleepless nights she left him. She came back home and filed for divorce.
The divorce is final now but the two of them are trying to work their isses out because Anderson has begun counseling for his PTSD and is trying to be the man he should have benlong ago. I'm not judging because it is not my place. I'll be there for Mandy if she needs a Maid of Honor or a shoulder to cry on. I've had my share of crappy relationships so I try not to get involved in others. So, That is the beginning of Mandy....but what about me?
