Yesterday I had the priveledge of going to my friend Amy's wedding. I have known her for 14 years, since she was 9 and i was 12. For most of those years, untill about two years ago-ish, we were inseperable best friends. I was a part of her family, literally.
Thankfully, we were able to stay friends, despite growing apart and in different ways, and I was able to share in her wedding yesterday. I cried pretty much through the whole thing. It was so beautiful, and so obvious that she and her new husband, Kevin, were just so in love with eachother. I saw a different side of her than I have ever seen and it was wonderful. I am so beyond happy for her that she found someone that literally does treat her like Cinderella. He is so gentle with her, just watching them at the reception yesterday brought tears to my eyes. It was a great day, seeing all of her dreams come true.
It was bittsweet in a way, because I'm not nearly as close to her as I used to be and just seeing her yesterday I missed that so much. It was sad because I know I will never have what we had before, because she is moving to Hawaii, with her husband, who is a Marine. I'm so happy for her though, despite my sadness, over missing being her best friend. She absolutely deserves someone like Kevin, and it gives me hope that maybe someday I will be as happy as she is.
Yesterday was emotional just thinking about all we shared growing up together and al she has been through to get to where she is now. I am so proud of her, and my heart is literally overflowing with joy that she is so comepletely happy. She was the most gorgeous I have ever seen her yesterday. You hear about people glowing, she just radiated love and happiness. It was beautiful.
Even though you don't read this Amy, congrats, I love you and I wish you a whole lifetime of happiness, as happy as you were yesterday. You truely are Cinderella.
