Hi Everyone,
While I am not getting married until June 2012 I can't help thinking about the WP. I have not asked anyone yet while it is assumed my 2 sisters and my FI's 2 brothers will be up there with us (which is completely fine as I couldn't imagine not having these 4 people up there with us). However the rest of my friends are the issue. Everytime I see them the WP comes up and it seems they already assume they are in it. I dont want to deal with having to pick, nor do I want to go through the agony of picking out their gown as they are all completely different sizes (I am fully aware there are colors to pick from where the WP can all select a different gown in that color). We used to all be close but now we are lucky to get together once every few months. I honestly feel that when I got engaged none of them were sincerely happy for me, but rather jealous that I was with my bf 1 1/2 years and they were with theirs at least 3+. I didnt talk to any of them about it because it will just add fuel to the fire as some are still angry they dont have a ring at all (which isnt even what marriage is about anyway but that is what society has come to). At this point I don't want anyone but our family in it and I doubt I'm going to change my mind. How would you handle it when people keep asking you? I just responded its too early to tell and we'll have to wait and see but I dont want to get anyone's hopes up either. To me a WP is more than a gown and makeup. It's standing up in your family/friend's honor.
