So I'm posting for today but I won't post again until Sunday. We are going out of town for my little brother's wedding that I don't want to happen. None of us in my family (my father's side) do. A little back story: mother and father were never married and I lived with my grandparents. My father lived (and still does live) 2 houses down, on the next hill. I would go up there every 2-3 weeks to see my dad, stepmom and 2 younger brothers. Many of you probably already read this on facebook but I still think something needs to be done. First his soon-to-be wife started drama over Hailey being the flower girl for her wedding being as my aunt is also getting married tomorrow and asked too but since my brother's fiance asked first I had to turn my aunt down. Well, then there was the invitation thing- she didn't invite me, HIS ONLY SISTER, to the ceremony, just the reception and when I called her on it, she claimed she "forgot", although when I asked her about the ceremony and what time it is and where its at she told me she didn't send me one at all- she was changing her story to make herself look good. I sure as hell got an invite to the wedding shower though! Half of my family isn't going- his grandparents (his mom's side) aren't going- they weren't invited to the ceremony either. Our Aunt Angie was only invited to the reception too, so she's not going. Its ridiculous. My brother doesn't realize what he's getting into and I am still praying that he doesn't show up tomorrow. Since she wanted to be such a tightwad and make sure she gets all her gifts, we got them a card, but we aren't putting any money into it- we usually give $20 but after the crap I had to go through, NO. Be stingy and watch what happens! I hate to be like that toward my brother. My father and brother (I live 2 hours away and can't get up there in a snap) have tried intervening and told him that someday he
will be happy, only with half his stuff. This whole thing is going to be a nightmare and the only reason I am going is because he is my brother. She's upset because we can't make it to rehearsal, but we'll be there for the dinner. Sorry, but I have to babysit till 4:30 and it takes 2 hours to get up there. That puts us there at 6:30- the time that dinner starts. Most normal people have a rehearsal at 7 and do a late dinner afterward. Not my fault nor my problem. My Hailey has been in 5 weddings as a flower girl and she's only 5 years old. I'm sure she understands how to walk down the aisle and sprinkle petals on the ground. AAARRRRGGGGHHH!!! I've heard about her hitting him when she's mad, throwing full-blown punches on him. He won't do anything back or do anything about it because she's a woman. Now let me tell you, my ex hit me just once and I knocked him to the floor, said if he EVER hit me again I'd make sure he didn't get back up the next time. It really concerns me that she does this- we never get to see him because of her; she makes it a point to make them leave their house when she knows we are coming up. My father would call him and tell him we were coming, so she would sit there and say they weren't going to be home but would say they didn't know what they were doing yet once they left.
Now a few years ago, my step-grandmother's nephew was harrased by his girlfriend, much like my brother's fiance does to him. He went to the school principal who wouldn't do anything, tried breaking up with her, the works. She threatened if he left she'd kill herself. So what happened? He went into the woods and shot himself in the face-just because no one would help and he thought if the rest of his life was going to be like that he didn't want life at all. Now like I said I have no idea what goes on 24/7 because I'm not there, but none of us really knows what does. Its a scary thought. Let her lay one finger on him in front of me and I'll knock her teeth down her throat to the point she'll be eating her own ass!
So for a pic today,
This wedding makes me think of a happier time. This is me with my friend Ashley. We were bestest buds in High School. We have kept in touch ever since. She moved to Pittsburgh where she went to college and she and her now husband have decided to stay and live there. Her wedding was amazing and we had an awesome time getting out of New York, even if it was just for 2 days! She is still a great friend and I can't wait to see her at our wedding! Even during her slideshow she had at the wedding, she had a picture of us on there, back from high school, in our dresses, ready for homecoming- my senior year and her junior. It was so great to see that even after being out of school going on 10 years (yikes!) that our friendship is still strong, even though we live 8 hours apart. Since I will have to post 2 pics on Sunday I will post the homecoming pic. Its not the greatest pic cuz I took a pic of the slideshow screen, but you can still see its us! Hope you all have a great weekend; I know I know, I will try too!
