My little brother is getting married. He is the ripe old age of 22. I haven't met his future wife yet because I don't live near them. I have only seen pictures. I have a dilemma too. I could go home to the wedding if I wanted to. I do want to but I am not going to go. First of all I don't want to take my daughter out of school. I could go for just the weekend but I think that is kind of a waste of money. The biggest reason it would be a waste of money is that I can't even see him get married. I don't have a temple recommend. I would probably end up being the designated baby sitter for all my nieces and nephews. I can barely take care of my own children. I don't want ten more on top of it. So going to Utah for a wedding I can't even witness, where I will be babysitting and it's only for the weekend, yeah it doesn't scream "Worth every penny!!" to me.
I love my brother, from what I heard of his future wife, she's pretty cool too. I would love to see my family because I haven't seen any of them but my mom for over a year. But I think I will stay home seeing as how I am not good enough to go to the wedding.

ah, that sucks. it sounds like you do want to go, but you're right about how it would go down.
which temple?
My BIL will be the next to get married. I couldn't be bothered going. I'm not going to sit outside, that's for sure. Wonder what DH will want to do... it'll be a crappy reception... ugh... off track, SORRY!

But don't you know that families are forever?? I didn't go to either of my brother's weddings either. I was on my mission for one and the other...well, I was no longer a practicing moron (err...mormon( at that time). I am sorry that you will miss him getting married. I know it hurts.
My husband made a comment and I've got no one to talk about it with so your it! He said what's the whole deal with families are forever when everyone is meant to be spirit brothers and sisters anyway. Doens't that mean we are already related? I don't get it...

SML-Thanks for commiserating.
Julie- I haven't seen anyone in my family get married either. I always had to wait out in the lobby. Back then it didn't bother me because I was deluded but now it bothers me.
LL- Sorry, I have no idea either. I didn't pay much attention when I did go to church so I have no idea about us being spirit siblings in the afterlife. Maybe you could go post the question at FLAK or NOM. They are some smart people over there. Sorry I can't help. I suck on church knowledge. I pretty much just know what aggravates me about it.
