NBR: OMG I'm so sad!
I had a great weekend at Disney World (thanks for the recommendations by the way). Everything was perfect until I read an e-mail from one of my really close friends. She wrote to tell me not to get the ticket to go to Venezuela in June because her wedding was called off. Her FI (well, actually her husband because they have been legally married since March) told her he did not love her anymore! The wedding was supposed to take place on June 12th! I am so mad and sad that I cried when I read the e-mail! I had to read it a couple of times to make sure I was reading it right. I though she was writing to tell me something regarding wedding logistics since DS was the ring bearer and I was supposed to read a passage during the ceremony.
She is a great person and she is kind, smart and beautiful! She must be devastated! Just 10 hours prior she had written on facebook "20 days until the wedding." I love her and her family so much! We have been friends since we were 5 years old, her mom was my High School english teacher and I did Ballet with her sister for years! SHe even came to FL to buy her wedding dress in Coral Gables and they stayed at my house. I don't know what happened! they were such a cute couple! they were dating for more than 5 years and they both were supposed to move to Spain to do their Masters degree after the wedding. I couldn't call her yesterday because I didn't have a calling card but I will call her later today. This sucks!

That's what I thought too until I remembered that they already got married in March so they are going to have to get a divorce now (or maybe an annulment). In Venezuela things are done different, you first have a legal wedding in your house or a ballroom (with a party and everything - its sort of like a smaller wedding) and then you have the religious ceremony (with another bigger party). You usually don't live together before the religious ceremony but you are married. They were also supposed to move together to Spain and now she will be all alone =(
What a great idea! I was thinking about telling her to come here to the USA and we could all hang out (since they like to come here). I will call her later today but i don't know if we'll speak. I sent her an e-mail saying that she does not have to speak to me if she doesn't want to do it (if she needs more time). Nobody knows yet. She sent me an e-mail because she knew that money is tight right now and tickets to Venezuela are expensive (even though we are only like 3 hours away, sometimes its cheaper to fly to Europe than to go there)
La pobre! At first, I didn't realize that she still has to go through a divorce/annulment. That must be heart-wrenching for her. It's a good thing that she has people like you that care about her and are there to comfort her.
