My family has been ok but it's my friends that have been a problem...
When informed of our engagment, my best friend since the age of twelve said "oh, well are you having a wedding?" (obvious disapproval dripping from her mouth) and then when I asked her to go gown shopping "You should just rent a dress, I mean they are so expensive, all for a dress you wear once and then put in a box somewhere to save for this supposed daughter you're gonna have..."
I thought about asking her if she would be happy if I just went to Salvation Army! And then another friend's response..."oh, really,(pause) I would never get married again!"
The first is divorced (her choice) and the second is unhappily married but c'mon- I've waited until I found the right guy... and we've been together 7 1/2 years- so it's not like I don't know him well...jeez!
Just be happy for us
I'm just avoiding them until the day of the wedding
