When my brother first started dating his now fiance I knew he would marry her. She is so cute and sweet and he has been so picky that he hasn't really dated. I knew that the next one he dated would be "the one" (just a note: I don't actually believe in "the one"). Obviously this was confirmed when they got engaged. I was so happy for them! I love my little brother so much and he loves her so much, so there was no way I couldn't be happy for them. They have found each other and they make each other happy. I believe they build each other up and both try to be a better person for the other one. They make each other laugh, and this makes everyone laugh. Despite seeing all this and knowing all this I still had a small sense of dread. The time had come yet again to be in the "single spotlight."
At some of my siblings weddings I was not even of age to get married and yet people still made the "so when is it your turn" jokes. This only got worse as I got older. I have delivered wedding invitations at every wedding and everytime I do they look at me and ask if they are for me, if I am finally getting married. Bahahaha! Man, could they ever be wrong!
Anyways, today I took a small stack of invitations to family friends. As expected I got all the same comments. Ahhhh...this is my least favorite thing about coming from a small town. Everyone knows everything about you...or at least they think they do. It is so annoying! Don't get me wrong, I love where I come from. I hope that if I ever have kids I can raise them in a town just like mine. It's just annoying sometimes.
So far, my expectations have been confirmed and I expect that at the wedding I will only be more in the spotlight. Oh, and I'm the only single one left in my family! It's gonna be great and I can't wait! Bahahaha!
If I ever get married I expect that all my siblings will be as helpful to me as I was to them. Lol...that is meant to just be picking fun at them (I have never really thought that I do much for my family)! Don't worry guys because I don't plan on actually gettting married. Between my work and all my vacations I just don't think there will be anytime!
But, Jordan and Mandi I love you guys! I am so excited that you have found each other and that you are making an eternal commitment to each other. This is one of the most amazing things anyone can do. You are both so wonderful! Oh, and thank you...now I have an excuse to get a new dress! Love ya!
Love love
