so... i have two friends. Girl and Boy. they are engaged, but not to each other.
Girl got engaged to her BF of 6 months in july. Boy got jealous, and got engaged to his GF of 2 months a couple weeks after Girl got engaged.
waitasecond... back up.
Boy got married at 19 (somewhere's about there) and divorced 2 or 3 years later. before the divorce was finalized, he had a new GF, GF-A. GF-A moved from another state into his house with his family (parents and bro) after less than 6 months of dating. 6 months or so after they started dating, they were planning their wedding and making payments on a ring. GF-A randomly breaks up with Boy (THANK GOD!). Boy has 4 more girlfriends (that he "met" on FB) in 2 months. the 4th GF, GF-E, sticks with him. she has a 5 year old daughter and lives 8 or 9 hours away.
okay. so Girl gets engaged, Boy gets engaged to GF-E a couple weeks after Girl. (confused yet??)
random question: do you think Boy used the same ring that he had started making payments on for GF-A?? hmmm...
so...
Girl's parents are paying for this super fancy wedding. custom-made dress, etc. the GM are paying $50 for new suits (FI's parents are paying for the rest of the suits)... BM are paying $135 + alterations + new shoes for the dresses. sigh.
Girl picked cute dresses, but she wants to add sleeves on them. she ordered them off the internet without going to try them on, even though they sold them IN STORE an hour away from here.
i showed my aunt who is a pro seamstress (she designs and makes wedding and BM dresses all the time) who promptly informs me that there is no way she can add sleeves and make these alterations to the dresses because of the cut of the armholes, etc. she says it's a disaster for the bride.
Girl ordered the dresses last night and won't get them until the end of december. the wedding is 2-5-2011. she does not have a seamstress lined up to do the alterations. she could have seen these dresses and bought them from a store an hour away. what??
and... AND... this is depressing. i normally wear a size 2 or 4. i have a curvy butt and hips. she wanted to order me a 10!!!!! because the cut of the dress is so strange... a 10, people.
anyway. back to Boy. Boy and GF-E's original wedding date was Oct. 2011 (over a year away)... but he decided to move it up to April 2011. he found out that Girl is having a coffee bar at her reception (which, BTW, i wanted to do, but since Girl got engaged first she gets to do it)... so Boy informs us that he is going to have not only a coffee bar... but a coffee bar THEME!!! it's going to be called, "GF-E and Boy's Coffee Shop"...
oh yes. that's really happening.
someone on FB asked GF-E what her colors were, and Boy wrote "frog green and diarrhea brown"...
really, Boy? REALLY?
oh. Girl's FI also didn't have a job and dropped out of college with one semester left to get married because they couldn't wait. Girl also dropped out with one semester left, but she's a couple years older than FI... so FI didn't have a job (AT ALL) and Girl had a job as a secretary for a law firm. they have no money. FI found a job in another state as a teller at a bank, so now she is going to quit her job and move there and try to find a job there. neither have a degree or a trade. i guess they're going to live on love?
and Boy is just stupid. i can't stand him. for the longest time he kept saying, "I bet you wish your BF would propose and that you could have a ring..." seriously. he was like, "I bet you feel really left out right now" and "you know, you're the only one of us left who isn't married"... i finally got fed up and said that i preferred to date longer than 2 months to commit my life to someone and i didn't want to make HIS mistakes and end up divorced in a couple years. did it even phase him? no. NO NO NO.
basically... i needed to vent. i'm ordering a size 10 in a dress that is a disaster and i'm surrounded by crazy people!!
on a happier note... i'm drinking a NF mocha and eating a spinach feta wrap from starbucks.
