Gosh!!! Suddenly it's all around me. Almost 7 wedding invites in the first half of 2010 is not a joke…well it's not a blessing either (I mean for me).
Seriously 2010 has Weddings galore! It has begun with my best and favorite cousins' wedding. To top this I received an invitation for a college classmates wedding, followed by an engagement announcement of two other classmates (this time a girl and a boy with each other).
To further scare me the building in which I live was lit up with wedding fineries as my neighbor's son was all set to walk the aisle. All said and done yesterday night my mother broke the news of yet other cousin sisters' wedding to me.
So now I have back to back weddings (May 15th and May16th) to attend. My wedding soiree doesn't end here; a close friend is tying the knot on June 8th.
While I'm glad that those around me are getting their "Happily ever after", it's crazy to come to terms with the fact that the my friends and cousins with whom I cherished the most memorable and wonderful moments of my life are settling down in what I personally call the "Responsibility Zone".
I'm not against weddings or marriage; the only thing that irritates me is the "Next is you" tag that people put on single girls attending the functions. I already got my share of it at my sister's wedding, with people "inquiring about me" (whatever the hell that means).
To make things worse my neighbor over enthusiastically suggested a match for me, which according to her is a" Suitable match" (trust me I never had a sleepover with her for her to know that).
Of-course I want to get married but come on give me a break…let's enjoy the ceremonies of the couple in question, it's their moment focus on them, rather then just hitching the singles.
Anyways, as I gear-up for the wedding pandemic, you guys just pray that I'm not stricken by the bug…well not sooner but certainly later.
