I became engaged in November 2009 in Amsterdam. It was one of the most wonderful days of my life. We have loved each other for seven years, and he is a huge part of my family. He secretly asked my father for his blessing and my father was overjoyed...and he kept it a secret! Once we returned home we were showered with happiness and love...not so much from my mothers side. With the wedding date set for November 2010 the planning began. It was finally time for me! In Febuary my sister became, and I stress became, pregnant. She then had a shotgun wedding at cityhall. My family has forgotten all about my upcoming nuptials. While I was choosing my bridal gown, my mother was with my sister, too busy to be with me. She has missed tastings, shopping, everything. She has yet to get a mother of the bride dress, but has purchased everything under the sun for her soon to be grandchild. The only tears shed by my family was when we were told the baby would be a boy. Am I a terrible person? Im extremely hurt that the family is planning a baby shower for my sister, with no mention of a bridal shower for me. My sister is due two weeks prior to my wedding. Im afraid some of my family will not show up. Has this situation ever happened to anyone else out there?
