A couple of weekends ago, my sisters and I helped my brother set up a proposal to his best friend, Alisha, and it turned out so perfect. There were some tears shed (happy ones) and afterward both families and some close friends came over and we had a little party to celebrate. We all knew this was going to happen eventually, but seeing it actually take place was so exciting!
I couldn't be more happy for my brother and my soon to be sister-in-law. They are the cutest and their future has so much potential. I think the sweetest part of all is that they've been close for so long. They've already been through so much together, and I think there's value to getting married and being able to figure out all the other twists and turns life has in store, together.
I would be lying if I said the thought hasn't crossed my mind, "Should I feel weird that my younger brother is going to be married and I'm not?"
And the answer is:
I have no idea. I guess deep down I feel weird about my circumstance. But the reality is, my journey is different from theirs And I'm so glad because they are so perfect for each other. And they deserve all the happiness in the world.
Also it means I'm one step closer to being an aunt someday.
