Not Engaged Yet

So much for saving...

A friend, who is more like family, just got engaged, she is getting married next spring.   I have to go.  A ticket from Norway to Mexico, that is going to suck....

    She couldn't have waited four or five month more, then I would have been living in the US at least.

    If she truly was a friend who was more like family, you should feel excited to go... not grossly obligated.

    Being married is a real thriller! =)

    Honestly Norway, you sound ridiculously jealous that your friend got engaged before you.  Grow up and be happy for your 'friend.'  For some reason, this post just pisses me off.

    FYI, you don't *have* to do anything.  And with the attitude you display here, if I were your "friend" I'm not sure I'd want you to bother coming.  I'm sure she did not get engaged and arrange her wedding at that time to horribly burden you.I understand that a ticket from Norway to Mexico is probably going to be expensive, but you could at least try to be happy for her, or send your regrets.  I'm sure she'll understand that you just don't have the money to fly across the ocean.

    Interestingly enough, I have no sympathy for you.
    He pretty much had me at "hello".

    I have no sympathy for me either. I am SUPER excited for her and to go to the wedding. :)   That is why I will go even though I should be saving...I was just not hoping for the extra costs this year.And there was a bit of sarcasm in the second post, which probably could not be picked up online.Boy do I suck at this whole blogging thing....I hope I have not annoyed too many of you!

    I'm not buying the whole "it was sarcasm" thing.  Sorry.

    I dunno if I really buy "sarcasm," either. I mean, sure, maybe you were HALF-joking because you didn't want to seem like a total jerk (you kinda failed there)... but I think that deep down you DO wish she'd waited. That's not sarcasm.

    I got your sarcasim. But I think it was more like...a 1/2 joke or something you say because it is really how you feel but even you yourself know its wrong to feel that way so you laugh to keep from being a jerk. Its ok we all do it sometimes...just suck it up put a smile on your face and be a good friend. Hopefully she returns the favor later.

    I would never make that comment to the actual bride... as I know you cannot plan a wedding around one friend.But yah I would have loved if the wedding was six months later. It would have saved me 1000 dollars or so....but well I guess there is nothing I can do.  Some things in life you just can't miss no matter how costly they are. The issue is whether I bring the boyfriend along, I really want him to meet her family (who is like a second family to me) and also see the city I spent my summers growing up in. And this will be my third wedding dateless (as flight tickets have kept me from taking him to others)... but I think this just might be my forth dateless wedding.. That's ok, I have a lot of (male friends) down there that are good dancers, and will be at the wedding and my boyfriend hates to dance... it will be more fun dancing with them?!?  OR am I getting to old to spend nights dance with other men...hmmm?I know my boyfriend wouldn't be jealous but the last time I spent my nights dancing in Mexico I was single and 15/16.....
