What a day!!

[~Keira~]

I'm pretty sure that I have felt every emotion in the book today and it's only 11:23 am!

 

First, I arrive to work and get a text from my cousin (also my MOH) asking me to call her. I do and she starts filling me on the family drama. Turns out that my her sister has lost her marbles and starting spreading lies to the police about her parents. None of the lies are true of course and but hurtful none the less. She is meant to be coming as a guest to our wedding but I'm not sure I want her there anymore. We leave in like 24 days and I doubt she will have herself fully sorted out by then. Even if she does she is still a loose cannon. Who knows what she'll do. I don't know how to tell that side of my family that I don't want her to come anymore. Any advise on that front?? Last thing I want to be doing is wonder if Jess is going to fly off the handle or get herself into trouble in another country. I want to be worried about me. Selfish perhaps but at the same time it's her actions that have made me feel this way.

 

Once I had calmed myself down from the mess that she had caused I got back to work. Boring. Anyways, the delivery guy brought me a package and it was my bouquet!! I am so excited to have it in my possession! I was really nervous becuase it was coming to Canada from Australia, but it has arrived and is more beautiful then I imagined!

 

So there it is mad, sad, nervous, excited! All in the matter of a couple hours. My co-workers must think I'm off my rocker. lol.

 

Thanks for letting me vent ladies. This is the perfect place to let it all hang out.

lol I know how you feel. I have these sort of days quite often!

 

I hope you can get things sorted out with your family.

Yikes!!! I have a sister i don't speak to because she clearly needs to be medicated and she refuses to get help... She too tells insane stories and lies about things... I hear ya!!! I wouldn't want my sister in Mexico....

I'd be talking to your parents and finding out if she is stable enough to travel... I kno with my sister the stress of my wedding she would be seeing UFO's or something wacky.

I was talking to my mum and she said to "leave it with her". I hope this turns out alright becuse the last thing I want to do is create a rift between my mum and her sister. Mind you Jess is telling the cops that her parents abuse her (she is a 33 year old woman BTW) and that her living with them and her son isn't safe.

 

She is so loopy, who knows what her next move will be. It's just an added stress that I don't need.

I come from a family that has more than its fair share of mental illness, so I know where you are coming from. I agree, it's likely in your best interest to have her un-invited somehow, as you don't want to spend your week worrying about her (best case scenario) or trying to get her out of a bad situation (worse case scenario). Mental illness does not mix well with alcohol, in my expereince, and I'm sure the booze will be flowing during your getaway wedding week.

Hopefully your mom is able to find a way to remedy things without causing a rift.

Good luck!!

Sorry to hear you have had a bad morning! I hope that things are able to settle themselves without you having to be the person to deal with it! It shouldn't be your problem and your Mom is right, "leave it with her". The last thing that you need to worry about is your guests behavior while they are at your wedding week....you have enough on your plate!

 

I know the closer to my wedding date the crazier I am becoming...mood swings galore!! Doesn't matter whether it's big or small...I'm sweatin' it all!!!! Good luck to you and I hope the dust settles the closer you get to your big day!!!

That's a LOT for 1 morning! I think a drink after work is in order

 

Hopefully everything will work out. If she is acting like this, I'm sure everyone will agree it's best that she doesn't come to the wedding.

 

And how about your bouquet? Have any pics yet? lol

[~Keira~]

Thanks ladies. Its nice to know that there is always someone out there in my corner. And even nicer when its a whole bunch of other brides. It has helped make my day much better.

 

And for Amy...

 

This is my bouquet!! It looks so much better in person. I'm sooo in love!
