I Need Advice

I'm engaged to the man of my dreams. I love him more than anyone on this Earth. He loves me the same. The advice I need is how to overcome the people who aren't happy and/or jealous. I was raised in a religion where marriage is of the utmost importance, but was willing to wait for the right guy to come along. I have another friend who is getting married around the same time as me. She was engaged first and wants me to move my date back 4 months so I can attend her wedding. Another friend is angry that I didn't follow her exact instructions with my relationship (which apparently were supposed to lead to the relationship ending). Another wants me to tell her about my relationship with God and how that is playing into this decision (something that is personal and sacred). I am going crazy because of the jealousy (I don't get jealous of other people's relationships for a few reasons.) I just don't know how to make amends when they want me to apologize for wanting to get married and finding the man of my dreams and being happy. Feel free to ask questions about the situation. But how would anyone else handle this without cussing anybody out to their face?

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and marriage! It's always great to hear about God bringing people together. Would it be possible for you to sit down with any of these friends and explain how they're making you feel with their different comments? Obviously I don't know each situation well, but from what you've shared it doesn't seem like you've done anything for which you should apologize - but it's always possible that something you did or said to them was misinterpreted. We're all human and sometimes something we say can be taken a completely different way by the person we're talking to. Having an open and honest discussion might be a good avenue to try with these friends, if you haven't yet. Best of luck to you - I hope you can move past this! Blessings, friend. :)

They aren't true friends then. A true friend would be happy for you and support you no matter what. Be happy. Congrats on your up coming wedding.

Tell them their being a*sholes. They should be happy for you, no matter what. Even if they like your guy, they should be supportive.
