We do learn something every day.

Today when I got home from work I noticed that I received a wedding invitation to my sister Nikki's wedding. I read the invitation and noticed at the bottom that they were asking for money instead of gifts. Why were people that have money asking for money? Do poor people really have poor taste? Just thought that was weird. The next thing that I noticed that the wedding was being held in a park. Hmmmm, outdoors in Nevada at the end of July. Wasn't it going to be hot? Even more important, what would I wear if I decided to go. Then I kind of put it in my mind that I wasn't going to go. Why? Well, it seemed that there was a lot of negative discussion about the man she was marrying when Tyson and I were visiting my family a few weeks ago. Earlier this evening, I was driving to Boston Market when I realized something very important. I was thinking about my sister, Nikki's wedding and everything that was said about it by my family and the fact that I had already decided not to go. Something clicked in my head that I overlooked when I noticed the wedding invitation. The invitation was addressed to Christopher Espersen and Tyson. WOW, she invited Tyson. I always thought that Nikki was the least supportive of me being gay and now here she was inviting my boyfriend to her wedding. I realized that she was being supportive of me without agreeing with me. Isn't that what family is all about? At that point, I realized that I could still be supportive even if I didn't agree with a person. I am not saying that I am not agreeing with my sister's decision to get married because I have never met her fiance. I think all members of my family should be supportive of her even if they don't agree with her decision. So, I am going to go to her wedding and hope Tyson can go with me! She is my sister after all.
