Weddings weddings weddings

Just arrived from the wedding of one of my childhood friends, Agatha, who is the younger sister of my bestfriend PJ. Watching her get married is so surreal. It feels as if I'm in a dream sequence and I need to slap myself silly so I'll wake up. In the middle of this so-called dream, my two cellphones kept on ringing. Work is calling. This is definitely not a dream. It is a nightmare! Anyway, before I digress...

I have attended 3 weddings for this year. Portia's, Therese's and Agatha's. In every wedding reception, it would be a miracle if the topic of who will get married next will not be brought up. Most of the time, I initiate that type of conversation. Then I end up getting irritated when that same question is thrown at me.

Maybe I am not just the marrying type.

One of my favorite Sex and the City episodes 'Change of a Dress' wherein Carrie and Miranda went into this awful bridal shop and tried on bride gowns for fun. Then Carrie ended up tearing the gown due to allergies.

In this episode, the question was asked in Carrie's column:

"Do we really want these things, or are we just programmed to think we do?"

Whenever I am asked when I plan to get married, my usual answer is, "Not in the near future." Of course some people are just born nosy (like me) and want to probe deeper on the reason on why I do not want to get married yet. I just tell them, "I'm not yet ready." Then this guy friend of mine told me, "Maan, if you do not want to get married today, you will not want to get married in any day." and I think that is a load of crap which he got from Aidan of Sex and the City.

CARRIE: I am yours. There is no one else. I love you. But I can't marry you to make you trust me. Aidan. Aidan. Look at me before we make a huge mistake.
AIDAN: If you don't want to marry me right now, you'll never want to marry me.
CARRIE: That's not true.
AIDAN: I think it is.

Back to Agatha's wedding, it was really really beautiful. It made me want to cry. Agatha, the little girl I used to play patintero, taguan, and tumbang preso with is now a mother and a wife. She's 2 years younger than me but when I saw her walk down the aisle with rose petals being showered upon her and her hubby, I felt like she became older and more mature. Silently I was thinking how this little girl knew that this is the guy she wants to stay with for the rest of her life? For such a young age, how can she make such a big decision which can forever alter her life? I guess she was just ready. She is willing to take the risk. She is willing to make the sacrifices. She has let go of her single life and her wild, carefree days.

I, on the other hand, am just beginning to enjoy life.

Who is Maan?

---

Very talkative, very frank to the point of being tactless. Major hyper active and super kulit. Tampuhin, selosa and madalas may topak. Psychotic but bearable most of the time. Pakialamera. Addicted to those excel quizzes and surveys forwarded through e-mail. Have learned how to say no to FREE FOOD and resist the temptation of buffets. Listens to The Morning Rush with Chico and Delamar and is a major fan of Sex and the City. Fiercely loyal to friends (especially the under dogs). Can't dance, can't sing, can't act but very OA (Outstanding Actress). Doesn't smoke, drink nor do drugs but definitely a great girl to hang out with (sagot ko na ang kwento). Cynical on the outside but a hopeless romantic deep inside. Tries not cry over a guy but will shed buckets of tears while watching a movie. Escapes from the real world by reading books, watching movies,and tv shows. Dreams of travelling the world someday and joining The Amazing Race with a friend who knows how to swim, ride a bike and drive a car.
