Well, friends. I'm just feeling a bit broken hearted tonight. I don't really have any family to love, support, and celebrate our upcoming marriage. My family will be at the wedding (only because they...

My family never wanted to meet my now fiancé since we started dating even though he has asked to meet with them for 4 years. As luck would have it, I'm a Christmas baby. Last Christmas, he took me on...
