I can’t believe that Gabi, my Gabi, got married! And his was a wedding I couldn’t miss, I didn’t want to miss. We were almost desk mates in high school (meaning we were desk mates when I moved to the back of the class to nag him and Steve) and he’s one of the few people I really care about. We haven’t seen each other that often in the last five years and I was happy to be there with him on his very important day.
I know that you know I don’t believe in marriage and that I simply loathe wedding parties but this was a very important step for their relationship and it was the first time I accepted such a commitment without judging. Of course, I still think they are a bit too young for this, but I know they will be just fine :) In church I was so touched that I cried! They were so beautiful and in love and they knew what they wanted: to be together for the rest of their lives. How can one not shed a tear or two?
Now I can’t think of Gabi. Now there’s Gabi and Alexandra. And I am so happy for them!
Well what can I say? I was 22 and my husband 25 when we got married, and after 27 years we are still here….. So I can only wish your friends good luck and the best in life….
