Two weedings are happening this year for the two people I love most in this world. My cousin who is like my sister, and my best friend who is like my brother. She's getting married in September, in Italy - and I can't afford to go. He is getting married in South Florida, at the end of November, and I can't go because I'll be too pregnant. I'm going to keep asking my Doctors but the first answer was no
I love weddings for the people I love, but for a co-worker, casual friend, long distance cousin, I tend to skip and just send a gift.
