Time flies. A cliche I know but it really feels as such. It was probably no more than four months ago when aJ came to me and asked about the availability of the church hall at my parish church. I grilled her and she broke the wonderful news to me - she was to get married in October.
Besides lamenting how tight a schedule it is to plan the wedding, I also nagged at her to quit being picky and start googling for florists and what-nots. But aJ's a capable girl; without assistance of a bridal studio nor a wedding planner, she researched on all possible venues, gown designers, photographers, florists and etc. It's not like she's experienced in putting a wedding together in such a short time! But she did it anyway. Pulled it off wonderfully.
This dear friend credited me on the mass booklet. I wish I could do more. We used to chat live so often to exchange ideas on this affair. I miss those times. Hah! But, I can proudly say I literally 'saved' her life. The much-understated beautiful pair of 3.5-inches high white heels she wore was from me. =) She was having trouble getting the 'right' pair of heels.
A strange feeling was nagging at me at the end of the night. I felt like I've lost a close friend. I lost her to someone better. I know she will stay as my friend; the friendship remains but she's move a step ahead and is forging her own family soon. So odd when I think about it. Made my tears welled up.
So anyhow, it was a very lovely affair with a two-man band singing 'live', Vincent's dad singing to give his blessings to the newly-weds, the more mature folks dancing cheek-to-cheek to Elvis Presley and I heard 'Rainbow Connection' for the first time... Just pure romance.

=) I sent the champagne to your table, did you receive?

No babe. I think the champagne got lost somewhere...
