I just talked to Grandma and your aunt’s wedding is going to be the 6th of December. She asked if she could send your invitation here and I told her that if she wanted YOU to get it, she should mail it to YOU. Novel idea? Anyway, the best part of the conversation came later when she told me that your aunt had found her dress and it is beautiful but your aunt is worried that because the dress is ivory, people will think she’s not a virgin. Are you kidding me? She’s 41 years old. I’d be wearing flaming scarlet so no one would think I was a virgin, especially if I were. I didn’t think there was such a thing as a real forty year old virgin. I thought even nuns had had an adventure or two by that age! Geez! At least I’m not related to them by blood.

That’s so annoying when family members still try to send notes and phone calls through your parents… even though you have been living elsewhere for over 5 years.
Novel idea, mom, I agree!
Love it! My aunt wore a bright red suit to her fourth wedding, just to clarify things
The nun comment is especially precious! LOVE IT.
I am still invited as part of my parents….I don’t even get an invite just for me…I am 28!!!! I guess that’s what happens when you are the last single sibling:/
If you look into the history of it, wearing white was never supposed to be virginal. It was about showing off your money!
There is an old poem about how the color of your wedding dress will influence your future:
“Married in white, you will have chosen all right. Married in grey , you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead. Married in blue, you will always be true. Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be seen, Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in brown, you’ll live out of town. Married in pink, your spirits will sink.”
My mom wants to send things directly to my godsisters, but my godparents say, “Just send it to us,” and won’t give out my godsisters addresses.
Heck, at 37 I’m still getting “family news” through my brother.
I’m 32, married, with a child of my own and I get invites through my parents. However, if I ask my aunt to invite her own children they all get offended. Water off a duck’s back. There’s many more things to be peeved about, so I don’t waste my time on that one.
I am 21 years old, and have never been on a date, or been kissed let alone had sex…or a boyfriend! i cant imagine myself with a guy now. I dont go out much….infact, i have been so unlucky with life.
I was sixteen when i split from my close friends, thanks to fights and bitchiness….since then, i had depression for a couple years, where i never went out for a year. i still have barely any friends, or go out…..ive felt so lonely and rejected in the past, and do now.
When i was 14, i had a crush on a guy three years older then me….it went on about five whole years. Alot of girls fancied him - he was v.v. cute, i thought. He found out, called me ‘ugly’ and basically rejected me.
Now, guess who feels like a freak. I feel like one more each year around the time of my birthday. I dont meet any guys - and when i go go out, i only ever see complete dickheads around, or just average looking guys.
try therapy, the gym, a new hair dresser, social functions with nice guys…that will hopefully help your self image and allow you to love yourself and accept love from men…i’m sure your mom would approve of that advice
p.s. i know a lot of 21 year old virgins
I didn’t lose my virginity til well beyond age 21, and I lost it to my future husband. Our culture and media have created a myth that if you don’t lose it early or have sex with lots of different people, something must be wrong with you. Not true. Have you tried seeing a therapist to sort things out? Have you joined any social groups? Keep your chin up!
I’m 33 and I definitely would not date a guy in their thirties (or older) who said that he was a virgin. I’d be afraid he’s too chaste for me to date… and that he’d be a stick-in-the-mud or lousy at sex. I dont want to be a guy’s teacher in these matters–I’d rather have one who’s already ridden the horse a few times. Call me a perv.
I, too, am disgusted with people in their thirties and forties who try to pass themselves off as virginal on their wedding days… PULLLEASE! If you’re past 29, dont act like a little virginal princess at your wedding… even if you are…
I think I will wear purple if I ever get married again.
I wore a beautiful red dress the second time I got married.
Don’t stay a virgin too long–studies show that nerve endings, if not stimulated, can atrophy…. Just a friendly warning!
Woah. Atrophy? Does that count for dry spells? I’m not in one but I should know to prevent them just in case! HAHA.
I’m 25 and my own parents dont tell me what is going on. I get phone calls the day of events and everyone wonders why I’m always late or bewildered when I get there. My parents don’t see fit to tell me things are going to happen until the day before or day of. I have loads of friends who are used to this situation but its frustrating none-the-less.
I’m pretty sure the way things go, my parents will warn me that I’m getting married that day and I’ll have no idea the whole thing was planned behind my back. Woops!
