I need to vent as I am feeling a bit lonely. I don't have family. Just a sister and I love her dearly but she is ... shall we say eclectic... She is 28 and currently living with me so she can get her life together. I am finally getting married in July 08 and am very excited. My fiance is excited about the wedding but like most men is just not into the details of the wedding. My sister just does not want to hear about the wedding. At all!!! And my maid of honor is in another state and is having many difficulties in her relationship and her life! I don't talk about the wedding plans until she brings its up anymore because she cops major attitude! I am feeling a bit depressed. It's just over 6 months till the wedding and I am trying to get the ball rolling and I have no one to talk to about my plans. It's very lonely right now. My mom and I have not spoken in years so I don't have that mom bond - I have my 9 year old daughter and she's been great. I am just venting as I am feeling a bit sad right now!!!

Believe me, I understand how you feel. It can get somewhat depressing when you feel you have no one to share your moments with. Just remember what you told me in your reply to my message, it is your moment to shine. If others around you can't muster up the support and excitement you need then we will do it for you! For me, if I think about what I will be doing one year from now I get instantly excited. Not about the wedding and definitely not about all of the planning, but about the fact that I will be married to my best friend. Even the word husband brings a smile to my face. Do I wish my friends, as well as yours, could be more supportive? Of course I do. But, people have their own lives and agendas. That day I had to listen to my friend read from a divorce manual proved that to me. So if they won't celebrate with me, I will celebrate with myself. I will support my friends when I can, but I now have to have limits. I can't, we can't, let others' need to be present at a neverending pity party get us down. When they are ready to celebrate, they can join us. Until then, I have to celebrate myself and my decision to marry the man I love.

THank you! I had a weak moment and felt so lonely. I too smile just thinking about being his wife. We have been together forever and to make it official is so special to me. I don't understand when I hear women say they feel no different being married then from before the wedding - to me - even though the day to day activities will not change - I will still be Mrs.!!!!

If you have a week moment I have two shoulders!
