September 15th Off to BIL's wedding. I brought S to restaurant for pictures. W showed up later from hotel. Hardly said hi. Walked past and got involved with other things. Ceremony went quickly. Felt very much like an outsider for half of the night. During pictures of our family, W had her hand on my leg, but in a fist and not really touching me. I told her she could touch my leg. She seemed to get a bit angry at this and said she was trying to not make it obvious that she wasn’t wearing her ring.
After dinner when the slow songs started playing, I asked W if she wanted to dance. She did. She cried on my shoulder the whole time. Happy crying I think. We danced pretty much the rest of the night. Everything seemed great. W's sister told me at one point that W had thought I was going to give her wedding band back that evening. I told SIL that I had been planning on putting her engagement ring back on her finger. She was thrilled. Towards the end of the night, during a slow song, I did get a chance to put the ring out back on W's finger. She did seem happy that I did this and after dancing she went to show it to her family. Everyone (including W) seemed very happy.
After the wedding, we all took the shuttle back to the hotel. We were supposed to keep partying there, but after getting the kids in bed, W was too tired and didn’t want to go. She told me to go have fun with everyone from the wedding. I went down to the bar and then back to the one of the rooms. Had a few more drinks and then headed back to our room. W asleep.
