Engagement party stuff

So I got the most important party supplies today, all the booze and some sexy new shoes! Although upon reflection now that I'm 'taken' prehaps I should just stick to comfy flat hush puppies from now on, rather than teetering strappy things?

Or maybe it is more custom to 'let one's self go' after the actual wedding.

It's all too hard somedays

Why do other people have to make things so difficult? It's now person number two who is offended I didn't give them a personal call to tell them I am engaged. Why do people have to make it all about them? Isn't it my wedding, and Tony's wedding? It's things like this that make me want to run away and elope and not tell a soul.

So I've offended an ex-boyfriend, and now an old friend (was my bf in highschool) who I have barely spoken to in th last year, and who lives in the UK.

Does this make me a bad person?
