My Best Friend’s wedding!!

Ya that’s true, my best friend is getting married. It is a huge deal for me, we spent 3 whole years of college life, fighting, making up and having a good time. And its true that great friends n great friendship is not found/ formed over night. It takes years of trial and bumps to know about the value of true friendship.

To talk about our friendship, “S” is complete opposite of me, a very silent, timid girl, but extremely creative and a great sense of commitment and also a perfectionist. I must also add that she is a great cook and makes yummy chocolate cakes that just melt in your mouth. I admire all those things about her. There have been times when we have had differences, a lot of times in fact, but I’m glad we have come through and that we are still good friends.

“S” and I used to have long conversation when we were in college on how the world would be different after we graduate, that we would never have this security of the four walls of the class room. Everything would change after we graduate, our life would be transformed, slowly but soon. This was and is the fact of life, “change” would be the only thing that remains constant.

After graduation we started working, both in different companies, we still made time in between the busy work schedules, to just call and tell each other about the work, bitch about the bosses and also the how it was difficult to get the juniors to work and so on.

During all these times, we never actually spoke or even thought about ‘Marriage’. We were still of the opinion that that would happen later, a lot later. But like every girl of the ‘marriageable age’, there would be continues visits of the prospective grooms in front of whom the eligible girl would have to parade. All this formalities would be done. But I didn’t expect things to happen so fast that one day, she would come n tell me that she’s getting married. I was taken by suprise, didn’t actually know what I felt- I was excited about her new life, a different phase of life- married life a whole new experience. And I was also confused about what would be next- if we could still be friends, the same way that we are now? Would it still be possible for her to come to the flee market, shop till we were tired, eat the pani poori, or chats carefree??.. I kinda started missing her already, as a great friend that she has always been.

And now there has come a stage that she will be married very soon. “S” would have a new set of commitments and challenges and excitement. But I am extremely excited and very happy for her new life. I wish her all the very best for a brand new beginning and a great life ahead. I know things wouldn’t be the same with us now, but that’s life, we need to move on. And on our friendship, I would still be only a phone call away for her any day-always. And I just want to thank “S” for being a great friend to me.

Happy married life girl!!!.. Rock on!!!
