Yikes!

Wow! I love my best friend, but wow! She recently got engaged and told me the wedding would be in April of 2007. I'm super happy and excited for her. I agreed to be a bridesmaid and was looking forward to being in her spring wedding next year. Well, she called me today to tell me they're getting married next month, the date isn't set in stone, but it's towards the end. She still wants me to be a bridesmaid. Holy crap! I've got to somehow buy plane tickets to L.A., a rental car, in the next few days, and a dress and a wedding gift in the next few weeks. I love her, and I'll be there, but yikes! They couldn't make it July just to give people a little bit of time? Now Hubby can't go with me because there's no way he can try to get time off with zero notice. I'm hoping my sister will be in town that week so at least I won't have to pay for a hotel too.

I know it's her wedding and I should just be happy for her, but seriously, 1 month notice is a bit short, especially when you live across the country.
