Event - My older sister and her fiance have been dating for 7+ years and were engaged a year ago (2008) at Christmas time. The family has been waiting since then for the announcement of a wedding date... and nothing. Not even a hint about what season they're considering, let alone a month and day. I'm the youngest sister and a month ago my fiance proposed to me. I waited a week before calling my oldest sister, fearing her reaction. Yup, she flipped out. Told me I had crossed the line "stealing her spotlight" marrying a man the family barely knows. An hour later my twin sister calls me to share her disappointment for my lack of respect toward the family with my announcement. Nevermind that prior to both of these phone calls my Grandmother, rather than tell me congratulations, told me that I should be more sensitive to toward my older sister.
Apology - I don't think I own any of them an apology. A year has passed with no news of the oldest sisters plans, and my twin sister was hoping to marry the guy she broke up with 4 months ago.
