I was looking for a good movie to watch online yesterday and then I happened to click on this one. This movie is all about girl friendship and the good and bad things that may happen between bridesmaids before and during the wedding. I was not expecting that this would just hit it off on screen because it did not give me such impact while watching. I actually cooked and ate in between, paused and played when done. Turned out that it took like 3 hours before I finished it.
Though I wasn't very impressed of the movie, it did make me remind of me and my best friend's little dispute before my wedding last year. We are best of friends since college. One is soon to be married next week while the other one is still waiting for her boyfriend's proposal. That means that she's gonna be the last to marry among us. I'd say that those events from this movie really happen. But then, ours is a different story. My best friend (I'll hide her in the name of Elizabeth) got engaged before me. Of course, as her friends, we Liza (again fake name) and I were so happy for her and looking forward to their wedding plans. But then months and months passed, there were no plans from her and fiance yet. So, we thought that their's is a long engagement. November, my birthday to be exact came. Surprisingly, my boyfriend proposed to me in front of my family and Liza. Elizabeth was not there because of her busy schedule. I was very happy and overwhelmed by the moment that as soon as I got the chance of seeing her, I told her the great news. All I was expecting from her was joy. But it wasn't. Yes, she said that she was happy about me being engaged and was having all those plans for our wedding on the next 4 months but I felt that there was something wrong. I didn't discern what was it all about so, I decided not to tell a lot from then on. Anyway, she didn't ask anything at all after that. I assumed that she was unhappy because that means that I'm gonna be married before her. But then, to make sure, I asked her since I couldn't take those cold smiles and shoulders from her. That's when I finally knew that she wasn't happy of my soon to be wedding because people started pressuring her of whether she and her boyfriend's exact plans of getting married. Well, obviously, for me, I felt sorry for her but being friends, it's just right to be happy for each other, right? I told her that she doesn't need to feel bothered about what other people say. I may marry ahead of her and and it should not be a competition. We are not competing for anything in the first place and that we have different paths in life. The truth is, there will be times that one goes first and the other one comes next. I'm glad that she understood and that she let go of that feeling towards me. Besides, I didn't want to lose her as my bridesmaid and Liza as my maid of honor.
By next week, Elizabeth is finally walking down the aisle and bind with the man she dearly loves for the rest of her life. Liza is next in line for sure although there's no definite plan from her and her boyfriend of when to settle down. But whenever it is, may the 3 of us have a happy and blessed family life.
