Wedding Blues

Fortunately, I don't have them. Not at this wedding! I'm in New York for a wedding of a family friend, but I carried my trusty Vaio which served me so well last year and am taking advantage of their wireless internet hookup. Weddings are such circuses sometimes, and this one won't be any different. And amid it all is an ungrateful bride who can't communicate with her mother. Both sides feel some strain and frustration. The bride is around 24, close to 25. But she's on the level of an 18 or 19-year-old person in maturity. Nice girl, but the world is wrong if it doesn't agree with her. She's a princess. Spoiled brat a lot of the time.... she and her mother don't really get along. So her mom feels like the Bride left everything to mom to plan the whole wedding, and the Bride feels like she has no ownership of the wedding. And that's hurtful on both sides. I'm not privy to the planning of this thing, but if the Bride wanted things her way, she needed to step up like an adult and say so. But that is the problem - she's not a very mature person. The guy marrying her is a good guy, and HE actually wants the marriage more than she does. They already have a kid together. Joy, eh? So, as is common with any wedding, there are hurt feelings all around. And this is the night before the wedding; all the prima donnas have not yet arrived. I can only hope that should I ever marry, that I will have good enough communication with my mom to avoid this kind of mess. One "good" thing? the Bride's brother should now get everything in the will. lol [written before internet went to hell] Okay, it's 2:30, and I am bushed. My mind just started wandering while I was typing that last sentence and suddenly I was writing something about the Court. Whaa?? I'm zonked. After the long drive up here, I need a break. So forgive my lack of depth. I'm just exhausted and I've got stuff to do tomorrow before the wedding.
