Dear Ann Landers, announced my engagement to this man a year ago last December. We are not children, Ann; we are both in our late twenties. We've kept steady company for three years. The wedding date has been set four times. Each time it had to be postponed. Eight days before the wedding he 39 broke his leg and we had to cancel everything. Two months later he developed a mysterious fever and was hospitalized; this was six days before the wedding. The following month the date was set for the 15th. On the 10th he suddenly lost his hearing and had to fly East to see a specialist. Last week we were all set when his mother broke out with giant hives. He now says we can't be married until his mother recovers. I'd like your ideas.-Wilted Bouquet

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
