On BFF getting Married: the life after D day

Here’s the thing about your BFF getting married: you are on cloud nine during all the preparations. You are jubilant even on all the major functions, participating wholeheartedly, totally unaware how your life is going to do an about turn. No matter how smart or wise you think you are, no matter how often you remind yourself that after her marriage everything will change-she will no longer hang out with you whenever you feel like, she will not always be there for you. You even try to convince yourself that yeah, totally cool with it and are prepared for all the changes. 

      But, O' girl, how wrong you are, ‘coz when the time actually comes to witness these changes, you realize how wrong you were. You were never prepared to accept that now someone is more important in your bestie’s life than you. She now shares her most secret thoughts with her hubby and not have time to reply to your messages. Every time she cancels your date, a little part of your heart gets broken, a little more of your kaleidoscope of memories gets tarnished. Because you were never prepared to accept that a time will come when you will no longer be the priority in your BFFs life, she will divert all her time and love to someone else. You always thought that no matter what, old is gold, you knew her longer, and you know all her secrets thus ultimately entitling you exclusive rights in her priority list. But girl, wake up, because one day you will also get married and you will hurt your other friends the same way your BFF is doing. Wake up, until it’s too late and when the first blush of marriage will wear off, when you will realize that in order to build up an ideal married life, you have lost your own identity. The person who could have become your strength in rediscovering yourself, in being your confidence, your band-aid is now busy in her own life… and no matter how hard you try to bring back the old rapport with your BFF, it will never be same again .
