My sister is getting married tomorrow.

And I am kind of sad/excited.



Is this normal?

Do you have any children of your own? If so then wait until one of them gets married. As far as being "Normal". Of course it is. She is your sister and you love her(So we think. Not sure the family life at home) But assuming you love your sister. You care for her and you just want to see her and her significant other be happy. Also you are sad because you do not want to see her "Leave the nest" You are taking the same approach as your own father and mother. Sad to see their daughter getting married and off on her own. But yet excited because she if off on a new path in life to start a new family.

You should be happy for her and yourself, you are gaining a brother in law. Actually you will notice your sister coming more often and getting even closer to family.

Sounds normal.

I nearly always get weepy at weddings. It's the potential of life that gets me I think. A marriage can be so good or it can be so bad. It is pretty hard to know what you are going to get too since you really won't know the person until it is too late! Heck, they probably don't know themselves either.

I've had a bad marraige and a wonderful one. Fortunately the great one is in the present tense.

I could not have said this better, myself.

Best to you and your family, Justin.

It's a change in an important relationship for you. Change is usually both exciting and sad/scarey/etc. I hope everything works out well for your sister and her new husband.

18 to 80. Blind, crippled or crazy. If they are crippled, I drag them. Note, anything 55 and up has to be rich and "generous".
