Last week I was rather absent minded. My childhood best friend flew into town from New York City. She usually tries to make it home for major holiday's and big events. This visit definitely constituted a major event. On Saturday my best friend got married! So, as you can imagine, the hustle and bustle of being a part of a wedding was very time consuming! But, it also got me thinking...
None of my friends that close to me have gotten married yet, so it was definitely an eye opening experience. I watched my best friend walk down the isle, looking more beautiful than I have maybe ever seen anyone look, to her best friend and now husband! It was one of the most touching moments in my life to this point. It really got me thinking about what a special moment that was, and what it takes to get to that point in life.
Out of all of my friends, I am the uber-single one. Sometimes it bothers me when I see my friends with their boyfriends, husbands, or finace's. I see how in love and happy they are, and I think "WHY CAN'T I GET THAT?!" But, this wedding really made me think about finding the right one. My best friend did that when we were sophomores in high school, LUCKY! But, I don't ever want to be in a marriage or serious with someone unless I know it's right. So, for this realization I am blessed. I want to have that very special moment with the right person, not just because I want to get married!
I know this all sounds silly, but to a 23 year old girl, these thoughts can become obsessive! I no longer want to be the girl obsessing over my pseudo-groom, or pseudo-wedding, I am just living in the moment and trying to find what is right for me. :)
