We didn't even dance

Evan's dad was supposed to pick Evan up from the reception around 8:30-9pm (the reception was over at 9)... However, he was having car trouble that day. Fortunately, one of my friends lives near him and offered to take Evan to his dads when he left. Shortly, after dinner the friend that was to take Evan to his dads was not feeling well and wanted to leave. I REALLY wanted Evan to stay. I mean, it's my wedding.. it only happens once and I knew I could find someone else to take him to his dads after. But, since Evan knew there was a possibility of going to his dads he wanted to go. As much as I wanted him to stay I knew that if I made him stay he would be in a bad mood, and I didn't want that either. So I let him go.

Mike and I aren't able to go on our honeymoon until June since I am in the middle of the semester, so it was back to work and school the following Monday. When Evan came home from school that Monday, he was in an awful mood. That mood continued through Tuesday. We could not figure out what was wrong. I called his dad and asked if Evan had said he was upset about something and he didn't. I called his nana who gets him off the bus since I'm at class and he didn't say anything to her either.

Then, Wednesday Mike text me while I was at work and said he knew what the problem was. Evan had said that he didn't even get a chance to dance with me at my wedding. For months, Evan and I have been talking about dancing at the wedding and since he left early we didn't get a chance to. Tears instantly filled my eyes. I hadn't even realized. I was off the next night and had a talk with him about how he was feeling.. and how it made me feel. I explained to him that I really wanted him to stay but it was his choice and he chose to leave. And that you can't expect to get everything you want to do done if you leave early. I told him I was upset we didn't dance also.

So we came up with a solution! Well sort of... obviously we can't go back to the wedding and dance but we are going to another wedding this weekend. Evan doesn't usually go with Mike and I to weddings. Mostly, because he's with his dad but also because he doesn't want to go. The wedding this weekend is my cousin's wedding so there will be other kids there he knows.. and we'll get to dance.

We also decided we don't really get to see eachother enough right now because at night I am either at work or school. So, once a month Evan and I are going on dates. Just him and I (Mike is not allowed). We went in both October and November and both of us are really enjoying it!
