RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Before I start ranting... the bravery rocks! Everyone at least listen to their album!!
Well most of you don't know about my cousin so I'll update. Basically last Xmas at the family party Tom and I announced that we were engaged, and my mom tells me a few weeks later that my cousin Neal decided to propose to his girlfriend that he'd been dating for a year. Well my first thoughts were why is he copying me but the big shocker is that this is his first girlfriend *ever*. Can you imagine marrying the first person you dated ever? Yeah, me neither. So Neal finally finds a job in Marietta and moves back in with his parents and can't stand the fact his fiance lives in athens, so she moves in with him and his parents. Next thing I know they want to they want to get married in December (as in this month) so they can hurry up and live together in an apt. My aunt freaks out and they change their minds and move it back to March at the end of spring break so that Neal's brother Daniel can attend. Ok, fine, it sounds much better. I had my mom make it very clear to my aunt to pass on when my wedding date is which has been set since for over a year now and make sure it didn't conflict. Well my mom calls me tonight and tells me that the fucking bitch has decided to move her wedding to THE FUCKING WEEKEND BEFORE MINE!! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!!
Before this I had nothing against the girl, I just fealt that Neal should give it more time since this is his first girlfriend, but whatever. Now I can see what a conniving bitch she is! First off you should know that fucking with someone's wedding is serious business and is rarely forgiven. Second, purposely chosing your wedding date the weekend before someone else's who has set their date well in advance is the carnal sin of wedding planning. Why?
1. It basically says "I'm trying to show you up"
2. Its bad enough for people to have to travel out of town for one wedding per summer, imagine how much of a burden it is to go to two weddings two weekends in a row! Often you are forcing guests to choose between which wedding they will attend. Thankfully, there are only a few family members on both of our guests lists, but then there's #3...
3. Attending two weddings in a row like that is like going to the same movie twice in a row. Its just not as exciting as the second time around. Not to mention they start comparing and contrasting the second to the first and it just ruins to whole specialness of the event to "its just another wedding"
4. It causes family fueds
5. If people have too many weddings to go to in a small amount of time, they will spend less money on wedding gifts
Needless to say I am furious and neither I nor my family will be attending his wedding. I would like for my aunt, uncle, and other cousin to attend because it is not their fault, but if they're no shows then I won't cry. However, if they do keep the date right before mine and his family doesn't attend my wedding because of it, I will never speak to or associate with my cousin and his conniving bitch ever again.
I'm trying not to freak out too much just yet because as I mentioned before, this is the 3rd wedding date they have set. The trend seems to be that they are pushing it back further and further and hopefully when they start planning they will see that everything is booked up for May and move is once again to some other time way before or preferably after my wedding.
It just sucks because up until now, there have been no major family or planning issues that most people deal with. Why did that bitch have to go and fuck it all up? Argh!!
