Weddings In The Family

So, if you read my last entry, you know that my cousin, Brian got married months ago, and I was not able to be there, (even if I had been invited-and no, I’m not angry that I wasn’t)

So, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………..

I’m not supposed to tell anyone around here that we (my family) know around here, but my brother is getting married 1 month from today on 8-20-05. It is to be a very small wedding, with immediate family and a few special guests only.

Am I thrilled?

No.

Explanation? Maybe later. It’s a looooong story and I’m tired.

All I will say is that I love my brother, and I want him to be HAPPY, and to do what’s best for his CHILDREN!

Weddings….

I’ve been thinking a lot about weddings lately- not cause I want one (I don’t), but because they seem to be everywhere I look these days. I probably do need to talk about a few conclusions that I have come to with regard to the subject- decisions that I highly doubt I will change. I only hope that he understands, and that he is willing to bend a little, if need be, on the issue. I’m not saying that I want to get married now or any other time, but I’m saying that I should probably bring it up, just in case it’s a deal-breaker.

I doubt it will be.

But, regardless, if I ever get married, it will be with the full blessing of God and my church (though I would never ask anyone to profess belief in something that they did not believe in), and ALL of my family will be invited.

When Melissa and I got married, we first looked to the catholic church her Mom goes to (‘Cause it would be free). The priest wanted us to go through classes, one of us had to be catholic, yada yada yada. The thing I’m gettign at is that don’t let the orginization of your church prohibit you from marrying someone you love, not that I think you would, just a word of warning.

They do seem to be everywhere, don’t they? If I think about them too much (even though I have no firm decisions other than I want one), I start to want one really soon. It makes four-five years seem like an eternity. Sigh. I hope your brother is happy; I really do.

Yeah, and the Catholic church wanted me to move back in with my folks until we got married (yeah, right). I’m so glad that my wedding is over (not that it wasn’t wonderfully beautiful and the best day ever) because it’s nauseating! There are women out there who have planned their weddings in every detail–except for the groom! Its an epidemic! (and a multimillion $$ industry)

My church is very open to everyone… Thanks for the notes. 🙂

I wasn’t implying that your church wasn’t open, just saying it’s one of those things to beware of. Also, in regards to your note, you are actually one of the few I feel comfortable talking to. Basically, any time I’m at ATM’s I clam up. Both Mike and Tom are hard to have a discussion with sometimes.

And I so call Ring bearer when you get hitched 🙂
