All this wedding preparation has taught me a lot about my friends and family. I don't feel like I've ever asked anything of my friends and rarely my family. I figure since it's my wedding I'm entitled to ask those close to me, or those who have been close to help out a little, or even at the very least send back that RSVP which I paid for.
My only surviving grandparents have decided not to attend my wedding citing cost and health as their reasons for staying home. Never mind the eleven cars they purchased for my meth addicted cousin who either wrecked them or sold them for drug money. Or last summer when they felt well enough to travel across the Atlantic to their home country of Sweden. I guess Colorado is just too far and too expensive.
I've always had great respect for Wanda and Henry Gaccetta and have stuck up for the shortcomings of their son solely because of the way his parents treated me. Never mind the times Domonic has slandered me, lied about everything under the sun (including some story about trying to fuck my ex girlfriend. wtf? I should have cared even if it was true?), and attempting to kiss my current girlfriend (now fiancee) on her birthday. I still treated him well because his parents treated me well. As of late I told him to fuck off because of the inappropriate shit he's said about me. Domonic is a phony fuck most of the time and I don't know why I'm the only person who calls him on it. I guess that makes me the douche bag.
In my youth the Gaccetta family was kind enough to add me to their costco account free of charge. Because of them we ate better than most college students and I have always been thankful and made sure I expressed my gratitude towards them.
Last night we decided to stop by costco and pick up a few things. When we get to the checkout I find that I've been removed from the account. Fair enough. I've enjoyed the benefits of a free costco membership for a number of years now and I have no qualms with my removal. My only problem is that I was not notified of my removal beforehand and those poor people at costco were stuck with the responsibility of replacing all those items I had taken from the shelf.
I'm sure Domonic lied through his teeth to his parents portraying himself as the angle and that I was mad at him and he didn't know why. Fine, my punishment is no more shopping at costco. I have no hard feelings. I know what a class act Domonic is and if his parents wish to stay blind that's their problem. At the very least they could have had the decency to send back that RSVP.
I guess it all works out in the end. I'm sick and tired of stupidly ignorant people anyway.

Dom you get no RSVP from me because mine was covered and soaked in green chile, but you better expect me to be there.
As for the costco thing, it is possible that they aren't even aware the account lapsed or anything.
Anyways as it gets close to your wedding hopefully you dont get to stressed let me know if you need anything, or if you just want to grab dinner and a beer some night.
Today is 5 amazing months with Erin, five months can you beleive that.

Congrats also Dan! You next?

i seems to me that squared has been a little bit of a thorn in your side throughout your friendship. though friends usually are. i guess i'm a little curious as to what straw it was to finaly break the camel's back. and as much as i'm glad to finally read a real post i was sorta hoping for something a little more upbeat. you da man. go buffs!!

nope, didn't lie through my teeth at all... Truth be told my parents were upset you never came over and took you off the card. They were rsvp'ing and i told them to have fun explained what had happened and they decided not to go without me. As for your ex girlfriend the closest i ever came to having sex with her would be the one time i talked to her on the phone at your old house while we were playing foosball and you were there for that. I don't know what you are talking about with nicole but i don't even remember going out with you on her birthday ever. I remember your b-day and that's it.
Friends come and go... Best wishes in your marriage and life

Domonic, the level of denial you can reach is uncanny. I honestly think you have a mental disorder because you can even convince yourself you didn't do the things you did. And if you don’t have a mental disorder you’re out of excuses to explain your unacceptable behavior on numerous occasions over the years. Your response that you don't remember or have any idea what I'm talking about was to be expected because even when faced with irrefutable facts you still deny any wrongdoing. You're a bold-faced liar and everyone knows it except you. I'm sick of putting up with your betrayal because I like your parents. You’ve stabbed me in the back for the last time and putting up with further abuse from you because of your lack of boundaries isn’t something I’m going to do just because your parents treated me well. It’s only a matter of time before you become so reckless you actually hurt someone and that someone isn’t going to be me or anyone I love.
I should have punched you in the face years ago when you tired to kiss my girlfriend, on her birthday, in my backyard, on 2804 Marine St. (need any more clues to jog your memory?) but like an idiot I only kept you around to further damage my wellbeing. You’re a complete fuck-up and I don’t understand how such a shitty person can come out of such a good home.
I recommend seeing a psychiatrist and perhaps getting medicated to help control your erratic behavior. But until that day please don’t even consider calling me. Goodbye and good riddance.

Heyyyy Brother....Well I am sorry you feel like this but I want you to know that I will do anything in the world to help you!I hope you know I am here for you. Speakin of...I meant to call...but will just tell you now,I went by Old Navy yesterday to check for the white flip flops for Nicole but they only had 9s and 10s and I checked kids but there wasn't any...=( sorry but ask her if any other color will work? If anyway possible? They had like every other color imaginable, but maybe we can just keep checking and they will get another shipment in! Well besides that, I am very upset with grandma and grandpa also for saying they are not coming, and I know it may have not been the best thing to do but that is why I called grandma and gave her a piece of my mind for you. Like I told her whatever~If she cant make it to your wedding or mine that is something she will have to live with for the rest of HER LIFE..I guess we really see how much family means right? I know what you mean about fucked up friends and I know that me and you can really speak our minds when provoked and I dont think in anyway were you wrong to tell Domonic to go fuck himself. Fake people need to be told the truth whether not they realize it is solely upon THEM!(And 95 percent of the time they wont realize it) You are in no way a Douche Bag!!You have a lot of good friends Dom and you dont need the shitty ones in your life to bring you down.There will always be ignorant people in this world, we have all had plenty of encounters, but you just gotta keep them outta your life, and things will be better. Keep your head up! If you need anything just ask! I love you! XoXo
