One of my best friends is getting married soon. Yup, it's Khalidal. She was engaged last Thursday and will be getting hitched next March. It was really abrupt cos she just got out of a complicated relationship and when I met her in March, she said she was seeing this guy she used to go out with. (I won't mention names just in case K doesn't like it.)

So I was like, ok...it's fine cos she just got out of a relationship and seeing people is a good thing. Fast forward to 3 weeks later and I got an sms from her.
'Hi K. ...just proposed to me and I said yes. We're getting married next March.'
Yup, pretty abrupt. I was flabbergasted, obviously.

I was concerned that she was making a hasty decision cos there are people who have been together for years and are still unsure of whether they should make that next leap. And I, being the opinionated person that I am, voiced out my concerns to her.

We met today and had a good and long talk. She said she was sure that he was the one cos there's no one else who's as good as him. I was apprehensive as I felt it was too quick a time to pass such a judgement. And she knew I was worried and the guy came down to TCC, where we were and met me. (I felt like such a tyrant)

And of course, I grilled him. Ha ha, I'm horrible. I asked him so many questions; like whether he was serious, whether he was happy with her, whether he was sure. Of course he said yes to all of the above lest I punched him. But what struck me was how happy she was with him. And he as well. They were laughing and kidding around and for the first time in a long time, I saw K not being stressed but being happy. And I knew that he loved her, from the way he looked at her. They were not mushy mushy grossification but more like, comfortable and assured of each other. I guess the fact that they knew each other for a while helped. And whatever reservations I had went away cos I knew that was the most important thing. That she was genuinely happy with him. He gave me good vibes and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

And he thinks I'm funny, which is a plus point. Ha ha.

The first time K told me she was getting married a long time ago, I cried. I felt like if I was losing a friend. This time round, I will be lying if I said I wasn't sad. I am cos I know that things will change inevitably once you get married cos your priorities change. But that doesn't mean you lose the friendship. The friendship just evolves into another phase, I guess. But I'm happy for her that she has found someone worth of her love. And cos she's my bestest friend in the whole world, she deserves nothing less than that.
