sleepless

if you're one of those people that look at the time of posts, yes, you are seeing this correctly. it is currently 3:43 a.m. , and i am wide fucking awake. dont ask me why, or how, i just am. i've been trying to sleep since approximately 11:30, but alas, no such luck (as you can see).

i have something bothering me, so for the first time ever, i'll ask those who read this for words of wisdom. here goes.

vance's sister is getting married may 19th, 2007. that's roughly 2 and a half months before us. thats fine with us, and up until recently, i thought it was fine with her, too. apparently, it isnt. she's been calling recently...and every single time she calls, she asks vance the same thing: "are you sure you really want to marry her?" . now being the 'her' in this question, only reinforces the feeling of resentment i get from her (im sure most reading this have heard me relay this encounter, if not, i'll cut it short; she was a bitch, didnt say 2 words to me, and didnt give a shit what i had to say. she gave me the same looks i've given the girlfriends of my brothers when i didnt like them. nickname? the wicked witch of the west.). anyway, so thats fine. i'm all for being a concerned sibling...but at some point, unless given a reason, you need to stop asking that question. i know vance, quite well i like to think, and if he wasnt ready for this, i'd be the first to know.

now this isnt actually whats bothering me. now being the un-married type, im not aware of the exact time length of a honeymoon. i'd assume roughly 2 weeks. well, according to vance's sister (her name is lisa), their's will be 3 months.
yes, you did read that correctly, as well. according to her, their plans are to go to nova scotia to visit the groom's family immediatly after the wedding, then head down south. im sorry, does that take 3 fucking months? so she had the nerve to call and tell vance that tonight. that maybe we should change the date of the wedding AGAIN (it's been done 3 times now, i'll get to that in a minute). am i just being defensive, or is that completely ludacris? she told him she didnt think they'd be back in time, so maybe we should postpone.

fuck that. i wonder if she realizes that we'd orignally planned for june, but then after she changed her date to the end of may, we thought that might be getting a little close to stealing her thunder, and since they were engaged first, and did plan first, i was okay with that. then we decided july, but the reception venue was booked. so that led us to augest 4th. that is the only weekend from the begging of may until the end of september that the room isnt booked. the only one!!

so here's my question. should we postpone our wedding so that his sister can have a 3 month long honeymoon, or attempt to reason with her?

thanx for the help.
