Decisions, decisions...
Okay, I'm serious, I actually cried over this because I really don't know what to do...
My friends/roomates Matt and Cara are getting married on June 17th and they have asked me to be a bridesmaid. I'm also making the bridesmaid dresses. I have the dresses for the other bridesmaids nearly complete, but I am afraid I will not have enough time to finish my own. At first, there was no question of whether or not I would be going to the wedding, of course I would.
But then I found out about a month ago that Henry is graduating that same day, same time, and so is my friend Bob.
Upside to wedding: It should be very pretty, it would be my first time in a wedding party, quite an honor, and probably a wonderful experience since I actually know both parties very well.
Downside to wedding: Henry doesn't come with me, I have no dance partner, in fact, nobody comes with me as my guest and I will probably be very lonely at the reception with no one to talk to or dance with. And I still have to make the bridesmaid dress. If I drop out, I risk everyone thinking I am a flake. Mostly, I would be letting Henry down. It just doesn't seem right that I go to everyone else's graduation, but not his.
Upside to graduation: I get to see the one I love graduate, along with a really wonderful friend. I get to hang out with my friends as we watch them walk, and I make them both very happy with my prescence.
Downside to graduation: Long, boring ceremony. Plus his parents will be there, and I like them, but I sometimes feel like I have to impress them. Also, his dad is not very talkative and will not want to do anything. Not always the most pleasant person to be around, raher anti-social. And I would be letting my roomies down.
So seriously....WHAT WOULD YOU DO?! This is definitely a decision I cannot make on my own. I'd almost feel better if someone else made it for me. Too bad my mom is in Italy right now.
