War of The Brides
Posted by Amanda Collins
On Thanksgiving, my boyfriend and I announced to my family that we would be getting married. We said we were thinking of July, that way I would be done with school, and it's a time of year that boyfriend Travis' family will be in the area. Everyone was overjoyed, but there were two people who weren't as excited I as expected...my sisters.
I am the youngest of three girls. My oldest sister, Danielle, has a son and has been engaged for about 6 years. Since it's been so long, I think the whole family has figured she'll never really get married.
My middle sister is Kristin. She has two daughters, and for the past year has been planning her wedding for this August.
Then, last month, Danielle announced that she had bought a wedding dress and reserved a place for her wedding...on June 20. Right before July. I think she couldn't handle her sister who is almost 10 years younger than her getting married before her.
Now Kristin is mad because Danielle "stole her colors" and I've moved my date to October. Thus begins the war of the brides.

I agree with Bevin--that's so funny. Your family must be going crazy!!!

One word: elope. Not an option? OK. Two words: Las Vegas. Seriously. My brother did it; it was very nice. Still not convinced? Three words: three sister wedding.
If none of these work, this should be good reading over the next few months.

This seems like the beginning of a good blog. Personally I'd love it if you could throw some dialogue in there between you and your sisters.
