This weekend I went to a U-Michigan/Eastern Michigan football game. It was a gorgeous day and a great day to be sitting in Michigan Stadium with the family (minus the Big Lug) watching guys tackle each other. Plus, the Wrestler's girlfriend is in the UM Marching Band so I got to take movies of the band and smile like the proud older sister I am.

The day was capped off by dinner at Applebee's with the Wrestler and his girlfriend at the end of which they announced that they're getting married at the end of February. OMG IT'S SO AWESOME MY MIND IS BREAKING!!!! I clapped and cheered and even got a little teary-eyed at the table. I'm so happy for them. So so so SO HAPPY that every time I think about it I want to jump around in a circle clapping my hands.

FYI: From here on out the Wrestler's girlfriend will be known as the Philosopher (because she's a philosophy major). I wrote her a really sappy email on Saturday night for which I'm pretty sure I can be forgiven, seeing as someone needs to make a fuss over the two of them. You see, my mom, who I usually rely on to make a fuss over these things is Not Amused At All. She's actually really fucking pissed off. The Wrestler not only had the gall to think for himself and love someone of his own choosing but he also had the temerity to fall in love with a black girl.

Currently the Mum is in Virginia reveling in hatred with the Big Lug (who also doesn't like the Philosopher for extremely similar reasons). I'm giving them both a week to get it out of their systems and if they don't I intend to make it perfectly clear that I won't allow them to divide me from my brother. I've already told [livejournal.com profile] baylorsr that if my mother and brother continue to act like fucktards then I'll be bringing the Wrestler and the Philosopher to the Baylor Family Thanksgiving. There's a lot of Baylors, three more people would hardly be a drop in the pool.

But, whatever, all that matters is that MY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED! OMG, you guys, it's like I said to the Philosopher on Saturday, seeing how much they love each other makes my cynical, old heart grow exponentially. With this and [livejournal.com profile] hiyacynth's wedding in April, 2010 might just be kind of awesome. YAYZ! *dances around flinging confetti*

Yay for your brother!! I'm so happy for you all. Here's hoping your mom and the Big Lug come around. The Philosopher sounds cool.

The Philosopher does seem like a pretty cool chick. I can't wait to get to know her better.

Wow!! Congrats to them! :) (Although now I feel really old again...I remember when both your brothers thought that girls were gross...) ;)

I know, right? I mean, I remember when that kid was born and now he's getting married? It's all kind of mind boggling, awesome, but boggling.

Thank you! When I talked with the Wrestler last night I made a point of telling him some of our family might be crazy but all of my friends are really happy for him. =D

Oh m'gawd, for real?

This is so exciting! I'm so happy for your brother and his fiancee. And yes, you have to tell them to get over themselves. Life is too short to go around with stupid prejudices...
Hugs, hon! Your family is about to grow exponentially :)
