As I had mentioned before, my engineer fiance was in the midst of the biggest job he had ever taken on. He did all the engineering work and then sub-contracted building the project to a nearby small machine shop. The project was on a rigid schedule and things seemed to be going well until the manager of the machine shop fell on the ice and broke his hip. At the same time the company that had ordered the project was asking for last minute changes that added to the pressure but still wanted the job completed according to the original schedule.
Although my fiance dreaded the idea of having to put off the wedding date only two weeks prior, he knew that he now had no choice. Though I was disappointed, I was still very excited about my impending wedding but at the same time the nagging fears of being left at the altar continued because of the broken promises I had experience before. During those two long weeks my feelings were being torn between the extremes of anticipated joy to worries of despair.
