Damning the Economy!

You read right! I'm damning the economy!!

Just in case you weren't aware, we're having a destination wedding. We've been informing people about our destination wedding since the beginning of our engagement, which was about a year and a half ago. As you probably guessed, no one did.

Nowadays, we can't turn on the television without hearing company xx has laid off xxx people. And I also shook my head as the number of unemployment were announced. The last time I heard, which was just a few days ago, the unemployment rate jumped to all time high of 9.3%. WOWW!!! Back of my mind, I wondered if anyone in my life will be affected by it. Of course, I crossed my fingers hoping it won't happen to anyone I know.

Well, guess what? I just found out that my future father in law got laid off. And my brother got demoted (to just making commission) since his boss's son lost his job and now that guy wants my brother's job. What the heck. I wouldn't be in this state of shock if it was just some random guest that's not coming to our wedding. But it's family. They're close family members who we want there as we make a commitment to each other on our special day. We want them there no matter what. What the heck.

Of course you know that if my brother doesn't go, my sister in law, my niece, my nephew won't go either. WHATTTTTT!!! NO, it can't be! I want them there. I only got one brother! And no matter how much of a pain in the ass he may be, he's still my brother and I want them there!! And of course, my SIL, my niece and my nephew too. They're the world to me.

And because we can't have our wedding without Mr. JellyBelly's mom there, we're going to pay for her to go. But what about Mr. JellyBelly's step dad? And Mr. JellyBelly's brother? Hopefully, we have enough moola to pay for one more extra person.

UGGGHHHH!!! Unnecessary stress!! Now what?

I hope something works out for them.... All of them.
