Wedding Bells Ringing Everywhere!

I feel so giddy today after hearing from my high school friend whom I haven’t heard from in years. We parted ways after high school and studied at different colleges in different cities. I stayed here in my home city and studied at the nearest school while she studied at a big school in one of the larger cities we have in our country. We never lost contact while in college though our communication wasn’t on a day-to-day basis since we were both so busy with our studies, and it gradually deteriorated when we finished college and began pursuing our lives and careers. We did send each other an email every now and then just to keep each other updated.

And today’s phone call from her was such a sweet surprise. I could not even remember when the last time we talked on the phone was. She’s still working in the city where she finished college but she’s planning on giving me a visit soon. That news really got me excited, but the thing that made it the more exciting was to learn that she’s finally getting married. I was like, “Wow, two weddings in a year!”, since my brother is also getting married soon. She will get hitched in December, a few days before Christmas and she’s already busy preparing her wedding invitations. We do know that preparing a wedding can be a daunting task with a lot of things to be considered and given the proper attention because no one wants their wedding to be a disaster since it’s a once in a lifetime event.

There’s only two months to go for her preparations and being a bride on a budget, she’s still searching for more things where she can cut costs and save. They are being practical and frugal which is the best thing to do nowadays. They can still have that special, memorable and momentous event without spending in a lavish way. She already got cheap wedding invitations, and next on her list are cheap wedding giveaways. I told her that I’ll help her with it since I know where to find the best for less seeing that I too have plans of my own, though that's a surprise I've yet to share with her. Sneaky, ain't I... Hee-hee-hee.

Anyway, I’m so happy for you, friend. I’ll see you soon and we'll get to catch up on some real serious girl talk.
