I figured I should explain how I chose the title for the blog... Well everyone has heard the saying "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride"... Well for me I got married back in July 2008 without ever having been a bridesmaid... Now my husband’s sister announced her engagement a few months ago and asked me to be her MOH... I am super excited about being a bridesmaid and getting to help her plan things and organize things like the shower and bachelorette party…But also worried about the timing as I don't want to be the knocked up bridesmaid.... I have visions of waddling down the aisle as "2 Tonne Tessy" and really it is not a pretty thought…
She was debating between the idea of doing a destination w4edding next summer in 2010 or a wedding at home in Ottawa in 2011. I was trying to steer her towards the at home option for two very selfish reasons:
1) Chris and I had a destination wedding so I don’t want her to copy us
2) I am hoping to be preggers by next summer and flying to a tropical destination for a wedding is not something I would consider in the final trimester
I breathed a sigh of relief when she finally announced a few weeks ago that they have decided to go with doing a wedding at home so more friends and family can attend meaning I have lots of time for a bun in the oven….
All seemed to be going smoothly until DH’s brother dropped the bombshell 2 weeks ago that they are planning a destination wedding for the end of July next year… What the heck, I dodged one bullet just to get nailed again…. The problem is that his brother does not know that we are TTC so it is not like he did it on purpose…. So now we are stuck trying to figure out if we should say something and hope his brother changes the date or just keep quiet…. If I am already preggers then the little one would be due 07/07/10 which would be amazing as that is our 2 year anniversary…. If I am not preggers then we need to decide if we want to wait a few months so that I would only be a few moths pregnant come the time of the wedding so I could fly… I really don’t want to put our plans on hold but there is no way I could travel with a 3 week old baby and although I told DH he could still go to the wedding I really don’t want him to be gone for a week when the baby would be that young….
But really I am getting ahead of myself yet since I don’t even know if I am pregnant yet… Oh yeah did I mention my period is a day late???
