I found out yesterday that the one member of my extended family who’d already RSVPed is not going to be able to come to the wedding. For legitimate reasons, but still a bit disappointing. I didn’t think I would mind if none of my relatives came, but now, when I think about it, I’m kinda upset. This is the most important day of my life and it’s supposed to be the day when family comes together to celebrate. Just thinking about the Egan family portrait makes me a bit sad. It will just be me, my mom and my brother. Of course, they are the most important members of my family, but its just unsettling that none of my other relatives consider this a reason to miss a day of work or buy a plane ticket. My only consulation is knowing that soon I will have a bigger family than I’ve ever had. I haven’t had any grandparents since I was 19, so its cool to think of Jason’s grandparents as soon-to-be-relatives.

But anyway, I am very grateful that so many of our friends can attend and I know it will still be an incredible day.
