and so it begins....

My little sister is getting married.

I suppose for most this would be a joyus festive moment in their lives, one to celebrate and find happiness in.

for me, not so much.

See, I love my sister and she is my only sister.  She has decided to have only friends with her up there to celebrate her day.  I will merely be a guest. 

Not quite sure how this all happened to transpire this way but I can say this.  I am hurt.  She was a part of my wedding day and the girl that is her Matron of Honor, well she didn't even want my sister at her wedding, let alone in her wedding party.  Now her reasoning is that they are NOW much closer (this is the MOH's version, I wouldn't dare say my sister disagrees, as the MOH has become somewhat of a puppet master in my sisters life....she pulls, my sister follows).

I dont buy it.  And what is even more upsetting is that the family, even upset, does not seem to be heard.

I am hurt.  I would have treated and given her everything that day, but now, as a mere guest, how can I do that?

I have spoken to my sister about this in great lenght, but honestly there is nothing else I can do.
Just sit back and watch it all unfold.

I am happy for her.  I just wish she would get how hurt members of the family are fo rher lack of tradition and respect for those who helped her to where she is today.

Let the games begin.  So far she's expecting more than one engagement party (there is one planned already but it is for mostly friends, according to said MOH the family can throw their own), numerous showers are expected, etc, etc...

I hope all the friends are ready to dish it out...because after the family's disgardment of duties, it wont be us that will be throwing the parties.....

it's sad isn't it.

I mean friends do come and go, some stick around, but your family, this is who yo uare given as a gift, to love, to cherish to share all the GOOD with all the BAD.

I wish she'd take her head out of her ass and realize that..cause really I dont feel like removing it for her....
