I Do

My best friend is now a happily married women. we weren’t expecting the glint and glow settings, but it was classic and pure sheer, yet it didn’t fail to instill that deep-down envy in most of the girls. Being able to marry/get married to someone who proves everything that you’ve done is worthy and wholesome, is a fairytale story. I believe every man have their very own fairytale story, first love, last love, marriage. It’s may not be the glitz and glitter of the relationship that determines how strongly it will etched in your heart and mind but it’s that incomparable trust exchanged, the sweet/sour memories created, the seemingly pressuring barriers overcame and the unfaltering support attached to every expression and action.

With the remaining four bridesmaids, we weathered through the whole chinese customary tea ceremony as well as the solemnization and wedding dinner that runs after everything to celebrate the consummate wedding. As tiring as it is, I bet everyone agrees that nothing can be compared seeing through your best friend through the most important day his/her life.

I was silently anticipating for the solemnization ceremony. Simply put, it is only a few promises exchanged, a certificate, a solmnizer who seems to be way too experienced but old-fashioned in his words and the exchange of “I do”s. However, the signification withheld was absolutely inestimable, in the few minutes(which I believe I wasn’t the only one) of the ceremony, I imagined myself in her shoes, her seat trying to suppress the jitters and exalted happiness and enjoying that relieving moment knowing it is the epitome of supreme blessedness.

All the hullabaloo ended sooner than we have noticed, in just a blink. We gathered together like the normal bunch of silly friends and couples on a normal meet-up. No one will ever imagined that both of them was married just hours ago. The seriousness in the air diminishes, though exhausted but we drank to our hearts’ content. The difference in atmosphere but similar activities makes me feel wholly amazed. I wouldn’t say we’re still kiddish dealing with adult issues, but I’d rather think that nothing can change that pure friendship, the unrestricted space to do craziness and the laughters that remains when one cracks a lame joke even though two person in the clique are married. It is indeed contradicting, and as her best friend, I am too, trying to accept the melange of these two blend.

Minus the hiccups, the “brainless” activities and tiredness that accompanied throughout the 2 weeks, it is nevertheless a wonderful message of pure bliss and intimation.

For the person who made this entry possible,(I know I get REAL naggy)
But, still I have to say, without you and the announcement of your life partner, we would probably take another 2 years to catch up what we’ve gained in these 2 weeks. I couldn’t help but shed tears of happiness and thankfulness after we part. To think you’re now numerically so far of a distance from me now, yet I’ve never take it as a barrier since the day you told me you’re going to get married to him. It can be a make-it/break-it distance for friendship, but I assure you from the bottom of my heart, I won’t allow it.

Married or single, there are certainly issues that will take a whole new change to our lives as well as our friendship. However, fortunate to say, other than the small issues, everything remains just as strong and unchanged. we’re still a call away, a train/cab ride away, a msn/email conversation away, the relentless support you can count on, as well as spontaneous meet-ups whenever time allows. Keep your feets on the positive tracks of life and bear in mind, I’ll never settle for second best for our friendship.

Our recent quarrels(contrastingly, I know) almost tore me apart, standing on the verge of letting everything go almost killed me. I wished I could turn back time, wiping all the unhappiness clean, as well as re-building the trust we shared. I thank God for the kind perseverance because I saw a whole new meaning to everything from that day, and I didn’t stand on any pieces of regretfulness.

I sincerely wish the newly-weds with an unsurpassable commitment and abundance health. 24th November’ 2007 never held better days. Congratulations!
