wedding
I've never been to a wedding that I've felt I'm so uninvolved in the lives of the bride and groom.. both of whom I've known for so long.
For all the friends weddings I've been to, I'm either taking photos, smooching with other friends, exchanging gossip, helping the bride and groom get into the groove of things, generally being helpful.. but this wedding was different..
There were already people who had planned out the reception. People who were helping the couple get into their respective roles for the ceremony. People who were doing the photo-taking. People who were the sitting prop. People who were there only because they had to.. People who already have things to do.. I had NOTHING to do with any of these.. I've never felt so far away from the bride, the groom and the friends that turned up.
I love them much.
I remember the days when she and I would talk for ages the minute we meet, and I remember when I had to deal with 'issues' the groom had with his ex.. I even fondly remember how all three of us would sit in a kopi tiam and just talk rots.. what's changed?
What's changed?
