I know, I know. We aren't supposed to see one another until we're walking down the aisle. I read the Wikipedia entry for "Wedding Customs by Country" and binge-watched Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 of "Bridezillas." Felix Mendelssohn appears in
my dreams to ask me for advice. I am so caught up on wedding culture that you should be giving me credit for not being more freaked out.
AND I AM NOT YE-... yelling!
God, I need an affirmation right now.
"Every decision I make is the right one for me." Thank you, Louise Hay. Thank you, https colon forward-slash forward-slash www dot Louise Hay dot com forward slash affirmations forward-slash.
So, just wanted to say the wedding's off. See you around.
Look, I'm not cancelling because I’m "destroying the fabric of society by marrying another woman." I was over that long before Aunt Betty addressed my birthday card to "The Selfish 11 Year-Old Girl Who is the End of a Long-Lived and Long-Respected Family Line." Traditions evolve and change. You know what used to be traditions? Child labor, pimento cheese loaf, and asbestos.
I’m cancelling because, well - marrying me would be like listening to those radio stations that play only Christmas songs. It seems like a good idea at first, but then you want to bludgeon your eyes with a blunt instrument and go blind like Oedipus, paying for your hubris. Imagine Burl Ives singing "Holly Jolly Christmas" nonstop, forever. That’s what you’re signing up for.
I do love you. Really. I love you enough to wish for something better for you, because you deserve the best. So… bye.
