Wedding Week

The wedding that I'm in happens this weekend. I'm sitting at work right now typing this at my desk, while wearing my shoes for the wedding.
While one of my not-so-helpful workmates pointed out "They're not that big!" (read with derisive sneer), they are fairly large to me considering I get around in little or no heels.
I'm pretty tall, just a touch under 6ft and a lot of my friends are a fair bit smaller than me. While I love being tall and not stuck under some one's arm pit, it can be quite uncomfortable when you have to bend in half to hear what's being said.

But this post isn't about me wearing my shoes this week.

I rang the bride yesterday to see how things went for her Hen's Day. I was unable to attend as we had another wedding on. As I explained to her and the other bridesmaid, any other event I would have happily missed, but a wedding is a big deal. I was never comfortable having to make the choice but after the warm reception I received form the bride and groom, I'm definitely comfortable with my choice.
We also spoke about the plans leading up to the wedding, about how she and the other bridesmaids are going to set up the reception one night this week. I asked if there's was anything I was required for on the day after. She said no. When I pressed further saying some people have a BBQ she said that her parents were holding a BBQ at their home.

But this post isn't about the poor communication or my stupidly busy social life.

This post is about the fact one of my best, childhood friends is getting married this weekend. And while right now I'm focusing on all the silly, insecurities in my head, the main thing is that Saturday is the day she's always dreamed of. She chose me as a bridesmaid for a reason, and while we mightn't be super close all the time, hers is one of the friendships that I'll always treasure, and always come back to.

I'll be off work Friday while I get my nails done (for the second time ever in my life) and do all the good, girly things you're supposed to do before a wedding. I'll let you know how it goes next week.
