Okay, so maybe FML is a little too dramatic, but I was not a very happy person, this weekend, let me tell ya!
FF, and I (as well as his brothers, and parents) were invited to a wedding on Saturday. Said wedding was a quickly put-together, shotgun wedding, as the bride, and groom had just gotten engaged late last month, quickly after finding out they were expecting.
Anyway, the bride is the daughter of an old family friend of FF''s parents (and, also the youngest sister of FF''s ex-girlfriend).
**Side-note: The families have lived around the corner from each other for over 15 years, so even though FF, and the bride''s sister had dated very briefly, they''re more like brother/sister, now. In fact, they''re pretty much part of MY family, as well, as we''ve known each other just short of 9 years. **
Moving on..
After finding out about the upcoming wedding, FF''s youngest brother (best guy friend of the bride)''s girlfriend of a year became very upset, because she thought they''d be the first of their graduating class to get married..
Can you see where this is going?!
FF''s brother proposed on Friday night, the night before the wedding, to appease his girlfriend, who has now become a Bridezilla in training, sulking about how much planning she has to do, and how much $ everything is going to cost, saying she doesn''t want a long engagement several times..
.. but, they''re not getting married until sometime in 2012!
Needless to say, although I am jealous that they became engaged before us, I have to laugh at the whole reason behind it. All because a friend was getting married?
Okay, so maybe I''m a bit more than jealous/bitter, but FF assures me that my wait won''t be much longer. As he put it, yesterday, "It''ll happen sooner than you think, but not as soon as you''d like it", meaning it''ll happen before the end of the year, but not tomorrow, LOL!
I think the part that bothered me the most about the whole ordeal, however, was the fact that FF''s brother actually apologized for beating him to proposing. Um, WTF?! Who does that? Seriously. I mean, I know we''ve been together for quite a while, but it''s not like it''s a race, dude.. too bad he didn''t get the memo before he proposed.
I should also mention the fact that another of FF''s brothers quipped, "It''s a good thing they (FF, and I) got the 2-bedroom suite (we were upgraded for free.. sweeeet), FF will need the other room for tonight! DOG HOUSE!"
Again, it''s been forever waiting for a proposal, but I''m not THAT bratty, lol. UGH, some people.
Now, when FF finally proposes, I''m worried that FBIL will think we''re trying to steal his thunder, when in reality, we''ve been working towards a proposal for almost a year, now.
Just gotta love ILs, huh? HAHA!
