My fiance's son is getting married in 3 weeks

Tweet

His son is 22 years old and my fiance just met him for the first time last summer. When his girlfriend at the time left him she was 8 months pregnant with their child. She moved half way across the country and even though he looked for her he couldn't find her. Shortly before they met she had a baby with her x husband that died tragically. She was never the same after that. She sent him a picture of their baby boy when he as born. The letter had no return address. He knew he had a son out there but he didn't know where he was. Over the years he thought of him often. When we got together he told he that he had a son and he told me the story. On Father's Day 2015 my fiance received a message from a young man on Facebook who told him that he thought that he may be his son. He asked if he knew his mom. My fiance knew it was his son without a doubt. He looked so much like him. He thought carefully about what he wanted to say and a few days later he sent the young man a message back. It was the beginning of what is now a wonderful father and son relationship. His son and his fiancee came down last summer and spent some time with us. It was quite the reunion. He said that he wanted his Dad at his wedding this year. He just recently started calling him Dad which I think is great. He is such a nice young man. Up until recently my fiance wasn't sure he wanted to go to the wedding. He didn't really want to see her again. They had so many unresolved issues and she had kept his son from him all those years. It was his decision whether he wanted to attend and I would support him in whatever he decided. The invitation arrived in the mail last week and when I handed to him he broke down in tears. He said he really wanted to be there. That he had missed out on every other important event in his son's life up until now and he didn't want to let him down again. So now here we are three weeks before the wedding trying to figure out how to make it happen. We don't have a lot of money and the wedding is half way across the country. I don't know if it will happen but if there is a way we will be there. I have been online trying to find cheap flights, hotels, etc. We have a beater of a car so I am not sure it would make the trip and I would hate to breakdown that far away from home. I would really like for him to be there to see his son, my soon to be stepson, getting married. Time will tell I guess!
