Okay, so here’s the deal. A girl who used to call herself my best friend is getting married in about a year and 10 monthes or so (if I’ve got it right). She has asked me to be her bridesmaid, but under somewhat tense circumstances- she and her boyfriend got together through the aid of my ex and I, when we were still together. After breaking up with him (ending about a 5 year run), he continued to become closer to them, while I drifted farther away. In this wake, I face several things: my ex as one of the groomsmen, a bride that is way, WAY more girly than I am (and hideously self-involved), a gal who could easily become a close friend of mine (if she wasn’t dating my ex) and the insufferable knowledge that once upon a time, not too long ago, everybody had expected my ex and I to be the ones tieing the knot.
Does it sound like a chick novel to you? Well, sometimes truth is just as hopelessly ironic as fiction. Hence, the blog.
