Showers are for getting clean. (or gifts?)

Ok, I guess from a showers-get-you-gifts perspective, the more the merrier…

But can I just say that this shower we’re headed to this weekend sound pretty insane to me?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware that I’m not in the know on wedding and shower behavior, so I don’t necessarily doubt that this is entirely "normal" in the wedding world…

But this shower for my sister…  Guest list goes about like this:

Sister:

Mom & myself being the only actual family.  I’m really just there for Sara.  Other than her hubby-to-be and hubby-to-be’s Dad I’m the only guy there.  (And we haven’t really stumbled on a commonality much.  We get along fine, but they’re pretty much sports and beer guys who don’t know or do anything mechanical, and I am pretty much just the opposite)  Should be interesting.

And then…  I guess about 6 people that sister knows from work.

Then…. Hubby-to-be’s Mom and about 40-50 of her family and friends…

Wow…

Just…  Wow…

Not entirely sure just how many of them sister’s actually met, maybe all of them for all I know, but still.  just crazy.

The wedding will be even crazier in that regard, but I can understand that more since it’s more about the couple than just the bride.

That will be something like…  Add Dad and Brother for immediate family…

Add aunt/uncle/2 cousins and another aunt/uncle.

I think she might have another 5ish friends coming.

And then…  I believe about 175 people from his side…

Phew-wee…

Craziness.

I’m not super-worried like I’ve been about a lot of other things.  Maybe it’s just part of that "growing up" which means I don’t care as much, which I don’t really view as a positive, more of a depressive thing.  Still.  I really need to release.  Though I still rather doubt it will be what Sara wants…

I’m also surprised that our local aunt/uncle/cousins aren’t showing up…  Just doesn’t seem like them…  I missed their wedding.  And I was a freaking moron.  Stupid Fedex job…

Oh, it is just about time to go home.  Thank goshness!
