My best friend is getting married today. The term “best friend” struggles to find its place in my vocabulary these days, but when you get right down to it, that’s what he is. We’ve known each for years and I went to school with his older brother, so basically I grew up knowing the family. We work together now, and John is a groomsman in his wedding. It should be a wonderful day. I should be happy for him. But there’s a big selfish part of me that wants to tell him he’s making a mistake because so many people think she’s not right for him. But I can’t, because I don’t know that for a fact. Unfortunately, she’s never given me a chance to get to know her well enough to make that decision. I have to admit, I haven’t been a very good friend to him since he’s been with her. I’ve never voiced my opinion, but I’m sure he’s noticed how quiet I get and change the subject when he talks about her.
Hi there! My name is Michelle. I'm 32 and live in Ohio with my fiance John and two furry kids. My interests are writing, music & movies, cooking, road trips, lots of coffee and cocktails. John and I became new homeowners this year and are getting ready to plan our wedding.myspace | facebook | twitter

I had the same thing happen to me.
My situation was a little different in that the first time I met the uber-witch, she pretty much grilled me on why I never dated him. Uh, he’s my best friend, my BROTHER (by choice, not by blood)... Granted, should the situation ever present itself, there’d be some serious temptation, but at the end of the day, I’m not into “incest”.
I’m trying to win him back, but it’s been a slow, hard fight. Now that they’re married, she seems to have calmed down a bit, but she NEVER lets me forget that he married HER. *sigh*
