Today was the wedding of a friend. It was well planned and very nice. Our friend was pretty and had the wonderful radiance of a glowing bride. Congrats and good luck to the couple! And as the old folks say, may you have many, many kids..
It had me thinking of my own. So fiancee and I have agreed to wed "next year". We have no idea of the exact date yet though. I was sort of waiting for my admission in the University of Chicago GSB and was hoping to married on the campus chapel on the day of my graduation. But then, the admission officials had a different idea. So there goes my only plan.
Also, no agreements yet whether ceremonies will be held in Sagada or in Manila; Anglican or Catholic; straighforwardly simple or not at all simple. But I'm sure she would always be amenable on gong-playing or whatever rituals the old folks would want to do.
From someone who did not attend his own college graduation nor even had a graduation picture, I lack appreciation on the notion of preparing for a wedding months in advance. Then again, I love the wife-to-be and would do whatever it takes to make the big day special :)

Another with today, I saw her again after quite some time. She was part of the bride's entourage. We got to talking and joking and catching up with each others lives. It was cool. When one of her aunts saw us and said one of those comments that only old folks in the community could say with a straight face and get away with, I observed my own reaction and there is only one thing I could say. Whatever hangups I used to have because of her are just that, something that I used to have. When I told my friend Bevs about it, she said that those are some of the signs telling me that I'm ready to get married.
Sheesh. I have to stop. It might get mushier and I never had the intention of writing about those things in my blog. Hehe.
