Tis' the Season

I was always told about this "season". I was told it would approach in my mid-twenties (which, despite my incredibly young boyfriend, I am currently in) and that it would hit like a freight train. Yes, the joys of the long awaited wedding season.

I was told that each friend would start dropping like flies and falling victim to this beloved sacrament. Wait, don't get me wrong, marriage seems like an amazing thing and I can't wait to do it one day---but, do they all have to plan these things around the same time?

This past weekend, two very good friends from high school got engaged. I am so happy for them! Overjoyed! Ecstatic!

However, it starts to sink in that they will probably be just two of many, and this means not only dresses and gifts-- but flights back East. And I'm sure they'll all plan these weddings close enough to where I'll go bankrupt, and far enough apart to where I'll have to plan separate trips to CT.

I should have started saving when I was a young girl, when the first wise person told me it would all start happening like this. I should have set aside a "friends wedding" fund so that I would be prepared. But, I didn't. Now, it's panic time.

However, maybe after they read this blog I won't have to worry about it, because my invitation will get mysteriously "lost" in the mail....

I'm really over the moon for both of you, I swear. Hugs and Kisses, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
