How did your close friends react when you got engaged? Jealous? Happy?

Wow...everyone has interesting stories...

Gonna B mrs B, that's funny that your mom is trying to wear white. LOL. I'm glad you told her no.

Brenna, why is ur best friend so anti-Marriage?

I think all of my married friends were extremely happy for me. surprisingly, I have some close friends that were so jealous. I was actually surprised by their reaction. I asked one of my close friends to be my maid of honor and she let out a huge sigh and asked me to ask someone else. i think if someone is truly your friend that they will always be happy for you no matter what. As the saying goes, misery loves company.

I got a lot of mixed reactions after announcing my engagement. Many of my friends and family were happy. My older sister really flew off the handle and turned me down to be my MOH. She gets really upset at any mention of the wedding. She (secretly) got engaged with her BF of 16 years. I was sad she didn't even tell me, because I was happy for her. I have had an estranged relationship with her since then. We waited 2 years from the time we got engaged in order to give them time to get married first, if that is what she wanted--but they never did, which seemed to infuriate her even more. Another friend of 10 years stopped talking to me completely after I announced my engagement. I find this to be a common thing after 30 when women start feeling the social pressures to do things on a certain timeline instead of just enjoying life. A few others have said negative things, but that's mainly because they are going through rough patches in their lives/relationships. Overall, many people have been ecstatic/over the moon for us. Some people just can't be happy for you...and I ain't mad at 'em for it. Everyone has their cross to bear in life. We all get jealous from time to time.

My husband's friends girlfriend who happens to be a covert Narcissist became even more Jealous and Envious than she already was. She even started wearing random rings on her ring finger even though she is not engaged because she would get upset when people would tell me my ring was beautiful.
