Isabell said:I feel your pain, My sister is getting married on September 23rd also and I was NOT picked as the Matron of Honor. (Curse or blessing?) I'm not sure yet....But hurt as hell about it. She decided to pick my cousin David (that's right, you've read it right) She picked a guy to be her maid of Honor. Maybe it is a blessing, no?
I think your sister should feel quite free to choose whomever she wishes to stand up with her. It is apparently that she and David have a very special bond.
This is the most wonderful opportunity for you to show some class by behaving in a loving and graceful manner. Being "hurt as hell" and showing it will only make you look petty and throw a pall over the proceedings. Rise to the occasion, Isabel.
I'm going to use Marc as an example here: He took this opportunity to show all of us his best (real) face, and as a result has earned the entire forum's respect and admiration. Think how much happier he's going to be than if he'd logged off forever with his feelings hurt. It tood grace and courage to come back and show some humility and humor about the whole incident, and I have a feeling that the rewards will be great.
I dearly hope that a sense of humor is one of your many virtues, Isabel. It isn't easy to get through life without one.
