Wedding bells are ringing...

Tomorrow, my high school best friend Diane and her fiance tie the knot at Santa Clara, CA.

I never really got the chance to internalize everything until a few days ago, when I found myself just staring into her wedding invitation with a bizarre mix of frustration, loss and happiness. Frustration, because I unfortunately can't be there to send her off; loss, because she'll be the first to leave singleblessedness in our barkada; and finally happiness, because even if I never got the chance to meet Dustin, I know both of them will have the best life together.

I never really got the chance to let everything sink in, until two days ago when I felt warm tears welling in my eyes as I spoke with Diane over YM. And the same thing happened last night--and of all things that could trigger it, it was American Idol's top six rendition of "All I Ask Of You!"

That song is one of THE mushiest wedding songs in my books.

How I wish I could fly to the US... But maybe, a solemn wish and a prayer will do for now. *flings imaginary pink flowers to the West*

friends, personal
