My mum told me long ago that if i engage myself in more than 3 weddings as 'sister', i'll be left on shelf. To present, i've helped 5 brides to 'test' their bridegrooms on their Big Day.. It was fun, especially when you are familiar with marriage customs, and responsibilities of bridemaid. It's always a joy to be part of their Big Day, to help them organise and coordinate so they can simply enjoy their Day. Yes, it's tiring but it's a joy to me to see 2 persons coming in union.
Why do i use this issue as my starting? Cos i've just been asked to be my colleagues(G)'s bridemaid! This will be my 6th!! Actually I was surprised that she asked...
I accompained G to shop for her wedding gown and studio when I was looking forward for mine with B.She shared her stress and frustration with me during her marriage preparation and i adviced her on her relationship with her in-laws. G was the first person i opened to when B left me. She saw me weeping to her, in washroom and in pantry, and when I had my nervous attack at work.. She is my office support, before i can knock off work to hide myself at home. But now that i'm out of depression, and she's busy with her wedding, we have not been contacting, not even chat in pantry. Yet, I know and she knows in our hearts we'll be here for each other, if thing happens. No word, no action, we just know..
come to think of it, my friendships, with all my friends, are strange.
I'm admit i'm a friend-making, not a keeper. My sister has always nagged at me for not good in keeping friends, and the danger of being alone if anything happens to me. But somehow, i know my friends will 'return' to me when either party is in need.
Honestly, i prefer this way too.. i don't want them to remember me when they're happy. I'd rather them to remember me when they need someone to talk to, when they are not happy. That'll be such an honour to me - to share their woes. It does not bother me if they 'cast me aside' when they are happy, cos i know i'll always have a place in their heart when they need someone.
