My Best Friend's Wedding
I have a very close friendship with one of my mates. We've been through thick and thin together. And now she is getting married this weekend. How wonderful... I hope she has the honeymoon period thats lasts a life time!
Now the problem...This week I have to be there for her on every call... Which means I have to be sober and alert. Those two things dont match. But for her I'l do it. I mean... come on, she is my best friend... and this is her wedding... an occasion that comes once in a life time (if ur not J-lo). Iv taken a week off to be with her... get the last minute things done and just help her relax...
Iv done a good job so far. I know its only Monday, the start of the week but still I was there when she wanted to come with me to do lingerie shopping and have lunch afterwards. She, for some reason, didnt trust my opinion on lingerie and so she had to supervise what I bought her.
I was alert today and hadnt drank since last saturday... I deserve an award!! (Dont get me wrong.. im not a binge drinker. But I like one now and then.Now meaning this hour, then meaning the next hour, only jokin.)
I have done the main things everyone does when they are going to a wedding:

I have done the main things everyone does when they are going to a wedding:
- Iv done detoxin for the wedding day.
- Iv got all the fone numbers for the day, eg... groom, best man, caterers... so on
- I have got arguements ready just in-case the bride has cold feet (This was quite easy wen u knw they are made for each other)
- Iv made sure the brides sister has a date! (This was the hardest to do)
- Iv made sure the grooms ex's wont be near (dont ask how I did it, but after doing it I felt like a miricle worker!!)
- Iv made sure the hen night wont leave anyone... too drunk, arrested or worse... missing!
- And last, but not least, Iv made sure I gave the groom a speech on how il kick his butt from here to India, if he even thought about running out on the bride. (This was kinda funny, he kept on laughin saying I wudnt do it, untilI fliped him over my shoulders, He aint laughin now though!)
And guess what I forgot to do?
Thats right... I forgot to get a date for myself... So now il be the sober, alert and lonely woman at the wedding!!
Oh well! Theres always other weddings and other times to meet new people, this day is about her... And iv made sure of it.
One thought did come across my mind... This is the second wedding where I was the bride's maid.
