Single Forever: Another Friend Takes The Plunge
By
BUNGEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Just got back from a friend’s wedding and this time I did not cry as much as I did when my best friend got hitched. Just a couple of sweat-ridden moments when my friend was walking down the aisle in her white dress, and this Evil Woobie in my mind shouting “There’s still time. Run, my friend… run!!!”. XD
Sadly, most of my comrades-at-arms have succumbed to the seduction of pink roses and confetti; they cannot resist the lure of the beautiful garden path that leads to the house with no back door. And, they were smiling as they went in. Not the look of ‘Girl Interrupted‘-like resistance that I imagine I would sport when it’s my time.
:heh:
Was it just yesterday when a girl friend would arrive at my workplace just as I was about to leave at exactly 5:30 pm, innocently asking if I planned on doing overtime work at the office. That’s the code. I would then hand over my apartment keys while loudly saying “oh yeah, I have TONS of work to do, i think I’ll work all night.” Then whispering, “Hands off my Chardonnay, that’s the only rule. Oh, and don’t wake the neighbors.”
Sigh. Those were the days. Well-wishes and much love to my friend who’s off to marriage wonderland right now. Have a wonderful trip, mon amie.

It is really weird to see your friends get married – some of them you are happy for, some you are wondering what the heck are they thinking? Two of my friends that have been married are already divorced! I had to laugh at your “girl interrupted like resistance” look. I thought I would be like that too – instead my hubby had me laughing so hard i thought we were going to get kicked out of our own wedding, lol.

I loved Angelina Jolie in that movie and couldn’t resist adding it in!

i’m a sucker for happy endings even if i am not a big believer in it for myself. *lol*
if you’ve seen 27 dresses, the main character and her hero have one thing in common with me… i look at the groom while the bride is walking down the aisle. it’s a pretty good barometer of the status of a couple’s relationship.
thankfully, all of my friends’ grooms have all had huge smiles and tears in their eyes – and i’m optimistic that they’re all well taken cared of.

True! Most grooms are really happier than the brides. It’s such a touching sight.

I love how the first related post will ruin a marrage. Irony at its best.
