Some truths hurt...and wear awfully familiar and sympathic fake smiles...

Since when has money taken over the world? This news, I have not heard, but apparently has become the forefront of all our destinies. MONEY IS ALL!!!! MONEY IS IMPORTANT!!!! I MUST HAVE IT!!!! So now, I find we are expected to go in pursuit of fortunes at the expense of all else.

Now...does this "pursuit" include the expense of family?

Not long

That was unbelievably rude and rotten of her to say this. As far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't bother yourself with her. You've got other things to worry about without concerning yourself about her priorities. Stick to your guns and don't back down no matter what.
But others have put you down before and you have risen above their negativity. This too shall pass, lovie. <3 *hugs*

Same advice my dad gave me.

I will stick to my guns.

Thanks girlie. I wuv you.

And I know it'll pass...but it'll be pretty dang annoying until it does!!!

I just have to say that I am disgusted by this. How dare she try to make you change the date just to make it more convenient about her? It's bad enough to say, "No, sorry, we can't come because we would lose too much money." But to have the audacity to tell you when YOUR wedding should be? Last time I checked, a wedding was about two people, and unless you've suddenly decided to marry your aunt, she's not one of them. The day is supposed to be about YOU AND ANDY. By even asking you to change the prospective date, she's making it about her.

Also, if she has the option to have someone else deliver the food/run the event...then I don't see the problem. She would still get the overall business (minus maybe the cost of paying whoever runs the event...but really? That seems negligible) AND gets to go to your wedding. Win-win. I'm really pretty furious that someone would dare to take your day away from you and make it about them, so I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now. Ugh. *HUGS*

*hugs* Thank you so much! Seriously, why do people have to do things like that? I'm only planning on getting married once so this seriously is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that they will probably never get to see again. That is, until my cousin gets married herself. She's five. LOL...that'll be awhile

Oh, hugsies dollface! I'm sure I don't know all of the details and everything, and I'm not really close to my aunts, so I don't know, but feel better and let things go. I don't want to sound callous in either direction, but you make your wedding whenever you feel like (although I would like to know when because I'm a curious little person ;D ) and that's that; don't let her make you mad or anything. And stuff does happen; I mean, making money is kind of big, and some people like a little more security (me, I'm one of the cheapest people on the face of the planet; plenty can testify). Anyway, maybe I shouldn't be giving advice, but there it is. Oh, and about Virginia: I know that in a heated passion it's seemed to me that my sister was more important to other people, but thinking back on it later I realized I was being silly.

We love you, Charity! Congratulations on your boy! ;) <3

I have nothing against my sister. Rather, she is innocent of everything. LOL...though Dad told her and she quite aptly put it...that was wrong; she shouldn't have done that.

I'm much better now. Dad and I have talked things out and hopefully, we can get her to...well change her mind enough to come when the time rolls around.

And like I would keep EVERYTHING about my wedding all to myself! Heck, I have a hard time NOT telling people my ideas!!!! No worries...LJ will be filled with my drivels in due time.
