I feel like such a grown-up
This summer, five of my friends are getting married within four months - four college friends and one very special post-college friend. The wedding locations are diverse: Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Phew.
I am so excited for all my friends, but at the same time, I am overwhelmed. Of course I want to attend absolutely everything, but with bridal showers, engagement parties and bachelorettes, when is it okay to draw the line? Is it ever okay to use the excuse “I just can’t afford it anymore”?
My very good friend is getting married in May in Florida. She had an engagement party last winter in upstate New York. She is having a bridal shower at the end of January in New York City. She is having a bachelorette spa weekend in Florida in March, followed by her wedding in May. Including gifts, hotels, and airfare, her wedding process will end up costing me a fortune. I love her, but it’s just too much.
Whenever Ricky gets married, he wants to have a destination wedding where he flies his guests to a remote location. This is sounding like heaven right about now.
