95% Giving up
Apr 30th, 2009 by Diar A.
With my wedding being only about two months from now, I think I’m not supposed to be on Ethical Weddings blog anymore. Well, things been quite a mess down here, I’ve decided to 95% give up.
I know you shouldn’t wave that white flag before you use your own blood to bathe, but really I’m kind of tired presenting hundreds of simple, inexpensive, ethical suggestions and none of my loved ones even listened! I can understand if they won’t let me ‘embarrass’ myself by realizing my dream of an ethical wedding, but at least I want them to listen to me. Not to simply what I utter, but to the reasons of why all this matters to me. Well, you can’t choose your ideal family, can you?
However, I chose to have my own ‘audience’. My family won’t listen, yet maybe there are at least some that will out there, I don’t know. Being enough campaigning on ethical weddings before my family, I moved to two local blogs of mine (both in Bahasa Indonesia), each focuses on the simple learning of eco-conscious lifestyle and on simple, ethical weddings.
In the next post I will review a slight progress of my wedding preparation—which remains ethical and which don’t.lady gaga just dance song

Don’t be down Diar! The main thing is you’re trying – and harder than most! And you’re spreading the word too. You go girl
I look forward to joining you on your green journey
I really admire your effort Diar! You should be proud of what you’ve achieved there, despite being shouted down on so many things – I think you’re an inspiration, and I hope your blogs make other couples think about the impacts of their choices too. Enjoy your wedding, however it turns out, and have a wonderful green marriage afterwards!
Thank you all for your kind support! I really appreciate it.
Now that it’s only about one month from now, I am more patient in handling rejections from my family (well, there are times when I feel so blue, I can’t help but cry, but I’m fine) and am focusing more in preparing to have “Mrs.” before my name
