When my husband and I were getting married, my younger sister gave birth to her fist child a month and a half before the wedding, so that meant she got pregnant after we announced the wedding. Since she was my maid-of-honor, my mother put her foot down and said she could not bring the baby to our bridal shower, thank goodness. But she did follow us by getting married the following February, we were married in August. Younger siblings just do that, they follow you. My sister has been doing it for years, first her wedding, than her first home, right after me. I think it flattering. And I really think that’s all it is.

Try not to stress it, not easy, I really understand!! Did I also mention, I was not on good speaking terms with my future in-laws either. You just got to deal with the stress or elope.

While you can’t control what others do, you can most certainly rise to the occasion and show how mature and ready you both are for the commitment of marriage. I wonder if his little brother even knows what he is getting into!?!? I think my Dude and I are so extremely compatable and yet even with a slow progression over the past 7 years (from dating – to living in the same city but separately – to living together with roommates – to living on our own) there are still times when we learn something new about one another. I have to say I ‘knew’ pretty soon after dating the Dude but there was no way I was going to jump into anything… all in good time, right?

I just hope that you still whole-heartedly enjoy the planning process and your wedding day.

Oh ya and if you are thinking of having kids, you may want to already stake claim to kids names at this rate??!! Geez! (I say that half kidding and half serious)

Sunflower Bud: thanks for your words… you are right, it is now important that we are the bigger ones, and stay happy. The drama seems to be over, and everyone is licking their wounds, and before we know it, it will be our day… and the rest won’t matter!
