My sister did get married and it was an AMAZING ceremony. She was the perfect bride. Not an ounce of bridezilla which for me was incredibly refreshing. From start to finish she was poised - even during a makeup meltdown and bee sting - she was so graceful. The wedding was picture perfect. Held at a local form with a reno'd barn, massive white tent, the weather was perfect as was the food, and the band rocked it out until the wee hours of the morning. It's these events that make you realize how proud you are of someone; she's found the path that she wants and she's going after it.
What was rather interesting was the number of people who turned to me, the older sister, and asked a) why I'm not dating someone (giving of course all the reasons I should be) and b) when am I going to settle down and have kids (ummmm seriously? didn't we cover off that I'm not dating anyone in the previous question?). Incredibly, not only did people ask me this directly, but I was also notified of several conversations happening at the wedding where people were discussing this. Seriously? You're at a wedding with FREE BOOZE and you choose to talk about my singledom? Like I have a massive growth on the side of my face that needs a cure. Can someone please explain to me why this is such a topic of interest? This isn't the early 1900's. I don't need to be married off to save the farm people. So seriously, if someone would like to weigh in here, please do. Why do people assume that I must be unhappy or dysfunctional because I'm single?
