...you're going to win by default.
so, this girl at my office is getting married. she started dating her fiancé the same time i started dating gorgeous. after i was proposed to she started putting the pressure on her significant other to propose to her. so, he finally did it last week. we, at the office, were very happy for her because we knew if he didn't propose in the next few months work would be quite miserable. but now all she talks about is the dang wedding which isn't scheduled for a year. and she's continually asking me what i'm doing. have you registered yet? you haven't picked a reception site yet? we booked ours two days ago.
granted my wedding is six months away, but i am prepared and on task. i also have a wedding planner so i'm not worried. and on top of all of that i have other stuff to worry about like work, school, my family, etc. it's not that i'm not excited about getting married, it's just another part of my life. as long as i'm organized and have a schedule everything should be okay. and like i've always said the important thing is that on may 21, 2005 gorgeous and i get married. i don't care if the flowers aren't perfect or if my hair isn't perfect — as long as gorgeous, the pastor and myself show up, i'm content. (oh and a witness ... don't ya have to have a witness for it to be legit?)
at any rate, i'm not even going there with my coworker. so, if she's attempting to compete and compare she's going to win because i'm not playing. so she gets first, second and last place all to herself.
do i sound bitter or frustrated or both?

Neither. I would personally ignore her and ask her what else she has planned in her life in the next year. If someone isn’t planning past the honeymoon they are in for a rude awakening. Sometimes I think when there is too much of an emphasis on a wedding a person is trying to ignore things in the relationship that they need to get fixed before they take the leap. They seem to see marriage as a magical transformation in life. After the honeymoon is over you will be the same person you were the week before. You will have the same issues with your mate that you had the week before only they will be X10. I have seen this happen more times than I like to admit. Wow I got off subject.
