Personal Surprise! My Brother is Getting Married - How I Found Out

[wadesgirl]

My little brother is getting married!!! Guess how I found out?! The invitation came in the mail today!! Never thought they would, she swore she wouldn't ever get married. I always felt bad for him because we knew how much he wanted to marry her. DH thought it was a birthday card from them which I thought it was weird that they sent him a birthday card (my family doesn't send cards). I took one look at the envelope and the labels all had wedding bells on them. I ripped it open and took one look at the inside envelope and without even opening the invitation I called him and yelled in excitement! Then I yelled at him for keeping it a secret. Literally no one knows until they get their invitation. I want to call my sister so bad and tell her but she's still at work so she won't get her invite for another hour!

Surprises can be fun - but frustrating at the same time. Congratulations!!

He just called me back (apparently they were at the florist) and asked me if I would stand up with him!! He wants our older brother as his best man and then me and our older sister as his grooms"women". Then she is going to have her sister as her matron of honor and her two brothers as brides"men".

WooHoo! Congrats to them and it's good that the family is very happy too!

That is so cool! Congrats to everyone involved! I love the grooms"women" and brides"men" most of all!

LOVE that! What a great way to celebrate the day!

I know I was shocked when he asked me!! I sort of knew his fiance wouldn't have me stand up with her - she's never been that close with our family. I was more than happy to say yes for my brother though!

My sister also asked me to be her matron of honor when they get married - no date set and my niece is getting married this fall! So many weddings!

Congratulations and so exciting! I too think the Bridespeople and Groomspeople is the sweetest compliment ever! Hum, sounds like some DCB's could be great gifts with the cookbooks or you may get to throw some showers..... know you aren't thinking of business at this time, sorry, my mind just goes automatic.

Oh no trust me, I've thought of it! I'm throwing my niece's shower but I'm giving her the option. My brother's fiance would never go for it. She's an OXO girl and has never bought anything from me. My sister, well not sure! It's her 2nd wedding and she already had a ton of PC stuff!

 

[smart2cook]

Well, 1 out of 3 is good odds! Somehow, I think your brother's fiance will become a PC lover-how could she not!

They've been together 8 years, I've been in business for 4. She's never warmed up to us that much over the years! I don't see that happening any time soon!

 

[lt1jane]

yes, but I know I now give PC products for gift-giving occasions... Get her the right tools and you might convert her.

My favorite wedding gift has always been a set of PC classic scrapers. You can always use good scrapers.

You are a stinker!!! All of the build up on FB over your secret....I thought it was something to do with you personally!
Congrats to your brother; it's going to be a fun year for weddings!!

I have a lot of family on FB though so they are waiting for their invitations too! That's why I couldn't say anything.

Now, that's a dress and tuxedo fitting I'd like to see.

Ugh don't remind me that I have to wear a dress!! My sister is already planning on us wearing short dresses, I hate the way I look in short dresses!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

You're not wearing a tuxedo?

 

[wadesgirl]

You're not wearing a tuxedo?

Hopefully not - although maybe seeing her brothers in dresses would be funny!!

Not to mention, women can look pretty hot in tuxedos - someone who used to live with me had her own tux. Here, check out Marlene Dietrich and Josephine Baker:

KG, um, didn't Josephine skip the trousers though and wear just a pair of black stockings with that tux? Marlene I know wore the trousers, even though she did have the legs to go without!

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Probably.

 

[raebates]

What wonderful news!

 

[wadesgirl]

Thanks Rae!! It's been sort of a whirl wind week with this whole wedding thing. Now my sister and I are throwing a shower in less than two months. Having a hard time finding a place to have it since neither of our houses work. Have to go try on dresses tomorrow and budget for everything from dresses, to hair to hotel and more!
