Out of all of my close friends, I am the only one that is married. Granted I married young, NO, not because I was pregnant, but because I found the love of my life. So, for the last few years I've been so eager for my friends to get engaged. AND- now finally my best friend of 15 years is engaged.
I am so excited, and of course standing up. Even though her wedding isn't going to be until next summer 2010, I am still excited. I promied her I wouldn't be pregnant! The only 2 weddings that I have ever stood up in I have been pregnant. My brother and my brother-in-law were both married in the same year. I was only 3 months at my brothers wedding, but still wasn't able to drink and then I was larger than a hot air balloon and due in 2 months at my brother-in-laws!
Even though I really want another baby- I can wait. I talked with my best friend- who's name ironically is Kristin yesterday! I told her that if she needed any help that I would help her! She doesn't have a date or place or anything picked out yet. Told her not to stress. That is one thing I did not do- STRESS- what for? It's your day and if other people don't like it- oh well.
I have been at so many weddings where I am friends with the bride and they were completely over-whelmed and then when it was over- I'd get a call. Your right, what was I so stressed about! So that's my piece of advise- it's your day and your wedding- you do what you want. Don't worry if something goes wrong, just go with the flow!

that's exactly what my fiance and I have started doing and things are nicely falling into place for our wedding in April 2010. once you have the place where the wedding will be, the reception hall, and someone administering the vows (beit a priest, minister, or your next door neighbor), things seem so much simpler. it's only the paying for things that really gets worrysome at times, but even that will take care of itself after a while, right?!
