A toast to all things great

It’s a celebratory post for more than one reason. I’ve finally – no wait, lets emphasize that a little: FINALLY  reached my 50th post!!! It’s been a long road coming here with many a break in between. A quick look at my post history tells me that its taken me almost two and a half years to get here – that’s averaging less than 2 posts a month!! But who cares.. I’m still going to celebrate my 50th post

And then there is the other reason to celebrate – G got married!! It’s been just over a week since her Big Day and I must say it was all a FABULOUS affair. It was soo much more fun than I had ever imagined that it would be. Over the past year and some bit, she and (hmm let’s call him GH) GH had been having a long distance relationship. And the strange thing about their relationship was that right from the start, both of them were pretty sure that they had met ‘the one’.

When the pre-wedding ceremonies finally arrived last week, the whole process of the past 6 months seemed to culminate into this beautifully planned and executed set of events. And to be honest, now that the wedding is done with, it seems like I have nothing concrete to look forward to. As ecstatic as I am for G and her starting out with this new chapter in her life, I am also a little anxious about how things are going to be here on out with her. I’m not sure what my fears and anxieties are based on – if anything apart from unchartered territory. Though I think that part of it stems from watching one of my other friends get married in the last 2 years and watch him get so tangled up with his new family life.

No matter how things turn out, I hope that this phase in G’s life is the happiest that she has seen so far and that she finds true marital bliss! *raising my glass to you* Here’s to you G & GH, and hoping that the two of you always find your happiness in each other.
