Hey, so this is something that's kind of strange to worry about!
My brother got married yesterday. We're twins, but we're just not close anymore. Also I don't get along with his wife at all - she's rather abrasive and seemed to decide early on that we weren't going to be pals.
Anyway, despite this, I ended up having a blast. I got to hang out with a bunch of people that we grew up with, many that I just don't get to see anymore. It was awesome.
One thing that stuck out was when I made a little speech - I wrote it because my mom told me I might be asked to give one, but then was told that the bridge didn't want to do speeches. BUT my mom wanted me to give it so a friend that I grew up with (who was also coordinating their wedding for them) made it happen and then held my hand as I was scared to speak. We drifted apart a bit but have become close again as she's currently dealing with some serious anxiety and I've been helping her to find a therapist, consider medication, etc. since I've done that myself.
Basically, I was constantly overwhelmed by the wonderful people I am lucky enough to have in my life and now I'm kind of sad at the idea that this won't last forever. Especially as we're all in our mid-20s now and going to be moving on with life and it will be harder to keep in touch.
How do you deal with these kinds of feelings?
