Life just surprises you with it's little quirks.

IT'S NOT ME.

To my CRAZY best friend, Dan, who's getting married this month... who knew you'd be the first?!

I knew this was gonna happen, and even when i got that annoying text message of yours (6:00 in the morning , sorry for being a grouch, i didn't need to wake up til 7).. i already knew what the news was gonna be about.. i think i knew it was bound to happen since you started going on about him when you were on a connecting flight home and you called me on my cell. But OHMIGAWD!!! I was still friggin surprised, SHOCKED, ASTOUNDED, STUNNED to my very core.

I know everyone's probably thinking how crazy you are, I can imagine Tito Charles in misfit frustration. It really is different when you read it in fairytales, when you know only half of the character's persona or only know what the writers want you to know.. it's different when you know the person from when you were 4-5 years old, in lil angel costumes in our Nursery Christmas play.

Geez Dan, I don't know what to say... I think everyone's dreamed of running off and getting married at least once in their lives.. I guess it just doesn't seem real until someone actually makes it real.

I honestly do not know how it could all happen so fast. As much of a fan I am of the happily ever after ending, I'm torn between being really happy for you and being HELLA scared for you.

Because it IS crazy. It IS insane. MADNESS, it really is. But I do not want to bust your happy cloud because truly, for the years we've known each other, I've never heard you talk of anyone that way before. But then, each and everytime there's someone new you're in this perpetual high... so I don't really know.

But then I thought, if you really REALLY love someone... it should be so easy. You're literally blinded and don't see any consequence because everything is seen through rose colored glasses... i mean, how could marrying the person you love bring any kind of disaster right?

Honey, you don't need to look at the ratios of divorce in the countries all over the world to see this marriage as a challenge to get through. Just be happy with your man. It WILL work and it is your choice.

And even though I know we share a sense of non direction (literally ha not in life :P) I trust you feel that what you're doing's right.

I guess the reason I'm so scared for you is coz in this world of cynism, you sometimes tend to forget that this kind of stuff still happens. And when it does, you kinda have to think about it again and realize... yeah.. it IS romantic. That's why it's so crazy!

So hugs and kisses to my dear CRAZY best friend, who continually surprises us with her life choices.

I am so glad you finally found a shoe that fit.
