I am really upset because I overheard someone gossiping about me. This is a family member (I am quite fond of her), who disagrees with me and said I should make amends with my father, and have him walk me down the aisle. My father has been posting things all over facebook making me seem like a terrible person, but I do not look at his feed, and I just ignore it. I have been the grownup, keeping my personal business off of facebook. My grandpa called me and told me that my cousin told him that maybe I should have my father walk me down the aisle. She said that I will only get one wedding, and I should be more forgiving and go with tradition, because it will forever damage my relationship with my father. Why are people talking about me, not knowing the other side of the story? I am a level headed person, AND a pushover. If I came into the decision to have my grandfather walk me down the aisle and NOT my father, it must have taken me a long time to come to that conclusion. I did not enter this lightly. It took me 6 months to tell my dad that I did not want him to walk me down the aisle.
I decided to put this on facebook, just so people aren't telling me that my father should have walked me down the aisle on my wedding day:
"It is one thing to be a forgiving person, and it is quite another thing to be a doormat. Don't keep giving certain people an opportunity to hurt you when that is all they have done with opportunities past. I'm a forgiving person, but I won't keep giving the same people more opportunities to upset me. I choose to involve wonderful people in my life the opportunity to let them know I appreciate all that they have done for me. I chose not to give one of the biggest moments of my life to someone who goes out of his or her way to hurt me. These people will hurt me, at every opportunity, and will let me down. Sometimes tradition should take a back seat, and people who ride passenger should be the people who have never let you down."
Is this appropriate, or should I remove this comment from facebook?
