The Wedding Blues

[radiosar10]

Ok, so once again I have just witnessed a fight (or disagreement) between two of my friends. And what is the issue you may ask? A wedding. Now normally these are happy times with people celebrating and being happy...but not this time around. And honestly, I don't know where I stand in this mess. Hell I don't even know if it's worth talking about,

I'm really sorry for your loss. Thats really what this is a loss of a friend and its hard. I felt like I lost my sister when she was planning the her wedding and I was her maid of honor. She was so caught up in becoming Mrs. Ingersoll that she completely forgot about the Manne's she was leaving behind. I know its hard to let this girl go, but maybe right now thats what she needs.. to be alone. Lets look at it from her side. She is prolly stressed to the max, if she is serious about marriage she has a lot to deal with. Its not longer just her anymore, shes becoming a wife, a mother and gaining an entire new family. Its not an easy expirence. For a moment there she is letting go of her entire indivudaliy to become part of a couple. This is such a large step in her life that she is completely focused on the future and she has carelessly left her past in the dark

Well at least it's good to know I'm not entirely crazy when it comes to this situation and that someone else has been through it. I appreciate the words of wisdom, and I hope you are right. I hope she does come around.

And yes, I have the wonderful Laura! We should get together sometime...it would make for a fun experience :).

My Defense

ok so i've been attacked for how im running my life if you see it that way or not and im tired of it....yes i am stressed yes i have a lot going on right now and yes i dont see you as much as i use to....im sorry that you are hurt by this fact and that you feel replaced by jessie. Not only am i planning this entire wedding by myself without the help of my mom or aunts or grandmas just my friend jessie im getting yelled at for not having the time to drive the 3 hour round trip to ripon to hang out with my friends. I have had only 4 months to plan the wedding of my dreams, move to a new town 1 1/2 hours away, start a new job in a city i know no one and try to make everyone happy. no matter what i do no one is going to be happy. Im stressed and im tired. i feel like i am the only one that can make an effort and on top of all that no one wants to hear about the wedding the only thing goin on in my life right now. So yes i have nothing else to talk about besides the wedding which is suppose to be the happiest day of my life and

In response to this:

First, yes I read this and was tremendously hurt with some comments she made...essentially making me sound like a horrible person (but I guess she feels like I've done that to her, which I haven't, but that's another issue). I called her bawling and once again told her how I feel -- especially since I felt this was the meanest comment she's given to me, when I've hardly done anything to deserve it. We talked, and maybe made a little headway in the situation.

Second Note:
I do not want a bunch of mean posts to this either way, whether you agree with Katie or me. It's not worth starting a fight. If you want to make a comment about my original post, go right ahead. Otherwise, please, just leave it alone.
