i am going to get on my little soapbox and say....
it just hit me.
i watched bridesmaids.
(not for the first time, just clarifying)
laughed my bottom off. (like before, just clarifying)
but realized something.
it got me thinking,
seeing that one chick freak out
seeing her best friend get married.
her best friend walks to the car,
a married woman now,
and says bye.
now, something that you should know about me,
(if you dont know already)
is that
i. love. weddings.
yeppp.
so i talk about our (meaning my best friends)
weddings, pretty much a lot.
i always thought of it as something so exciting and beautiful and great and fancy and fun!!!
....but i never considered the thought of
what happens on the night of a best friends wedding
and i watch her walk out to the car,
with her HUSBAND.
and i watch her leave.
and i think,
shes married now.
no more sleepovers (unless he goes out of town)
no more clubbing and flirting (which she wont want to do anyway)
no more bachelorette time (she is single no more)
no more laughing about future marriage scenarios (because its not the future anymore)
we wont be girls anymore (shes a grown up woman!)
she is a wife
which is okay because we can still...
go shopping together (because HE wont want to get dragged all over the mall)
have girls nights (because SHE will want a break from the kids once in a while)
joking about husbands (because we can laugh at all the now real life experiences)
laughing about "being a wife" (and all of those 'wife-ly duties')
.........i guess it wont change a thing, other than
they will be happy together and we'll live farther away
and we're just bigger girls with busier lives.
I AM JUST SAYING:
we are so young.
and i want to freeze time,
and i just want to be able to play and stay young forever,
and fly to neverland or take some kind of de-aging medicine!
i dont want my youth to whisk away suddenly!!!
so i wont let it.
ill cherish every moment.
i am just so glad this thought didnt occur to me later,
when i am seeing my best friend,
walk away with her new best friend.
ps.... this post was indeed written with these girls in mind; eliza martin, makelle heisa, and kristen andrew. <3
I came across your blog, interested because not a lot of people I know take the time to blog events in their life. Btw I'm Brennan from work :P But this interested me because I've gone through that experience. I had a best friend from my group of friends and we hung out every day, and then he had a gf that moved in with him, he got her pregnant, and they got married. I was happy the day he got married, but through out those months of planning his marriage and him never being around anymore, it made me think that I wish I could freeze time as well, that I could even go back, just 1 year, because it all happened before I knew it and my best friend was gone, on top of that his wife doesnt really like me or his friends, and so since his wedding a few months ago, I've seen him once, he doesn't talk to me as much and I just miss the old days. Good thing you thought of that BEFORE it happened, but hold onto these youth memories, make them last because before we know it, we are going to grow up, and things won't be the same. It's cool to see other peoples outlook on these sort of things.
