Marriage
My brother got married on Monday, while I was presenting at the conference. I waited a few days to tell this because I was pissed. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that he is married to the woman he loves, but it was the fact that I wasn't there for his happy occasion.
This is my twin, not just my sibling. It was hard for my friends to understand the magnitude of feelings I had. There was no way I could get there in time. I had to find out about the ceremony from my older brother.
When I initial found out the date, the two of us fought and then came to a compromise. That the ceremony on the 31st would be just for the parents. Well I was happy with that, the bigger ceremony would be later on a date when everyone including my dad could be there.
Well I found out through my older brother that more then half of Amiee's family was there. So I was hurt and I cried half of the way home from conference. I tried calling him but of course his phone was off. I mean he just got married-like he would have his phone on. But I couldn't tell him my good news about winning third place at the poster competition.
We talked to each other last night and words were exchanged. I yelled and he yelled right back. We both teared up. After an hour of discussion after the initial yelling and we both came to terms with each others feelings.
He wanted me to be there, it just didn't work out that way. I'm okay with it now. So I can write this without regretting my actions from the past few days. He's going to send me pictures as well. So as of Monday my brother has entered the married life and left for his honeymoon today.
I couldn't be happier for him and I think I'm finally over the issue of not being able to go.
