My best friend's wedding

My best friend is now a married woman, and on her way to the airport on her honeymoon in Europe.

All in all, I didn’t dislike my bridesmaid’s dress (the pink was acceptable). Really need to find a way to incorporate glasses/spectacles into formal wear; how come men never have that kind of problem? When they wear glasses/spectacles, they are preppy and intelligent-looking but women with glasses… that’s out of place with a dress. And make up… I will learn from today.

Anyway, I was the ‘head bridesmaid’ according to one photog; I did volunteer myself to be  her PA, since she did not think of it earlier. I didn’t mind it at all, because it’s better to be out in the sun holding the brolly over the Bride’s head rather than being within earshot of some brides-to-be and their unceasing wedding-talk. It was alienating to the point of rudeness; I mean, is there Really Nothing Else To Talk About other than your impending nuptials?

One of the bridesmaid did mention that lately, it is people around our age group that are getting married, and they are couples who have been together since school days so that’s at least 6 years or more. I have 2 male cousins getting married too; one in 2 weeks’ time, and the other in January 2010.

I’m really happy for her, because her one-of-a-kind mom will be out of her hair for good. Her own place isn’t ready until next February, and she’s really looking forward to having her own space. Me too! :]

I was waiting to feel some degree of despondency caused by the possibility of eternal single-dom, amidst wedding bliss and all… but no. All I felt after everything had ended was that I’m tired and hungry, and my feet hurt. After all, it is her big day and there’s no room for self-pity :]

This is for you two, GC & CY~ Enjoy, honeymooners!
