My Best Friend's wedding

    Today is the wedding day of my best friend Giri and I am just back from the celebrations and sitting here typing this out before all my emotions ebb (I doubt it will ever). It was a beautiful event that will stay in my memory forever for various reasons. For one thing, this is my best friend's wedding day and also the day where two of my good friends got married to each other and for another I met and got to spend time with some of my friends after nearly 10 years. Giri and I have known each other for over 16 years now. We have been best of friends for over 5 years now. Since I am not able to find an apt word that describes our relationship better I am calling him my best friend. Obviously he is more than that to me. The bride is also one of my close friends and I can assure her that she cannot find anyone so perfect for her than Giri. I wish them all the very best in their life and pray that they be blessed with a peaceful, content and a loving life for a long time to come.

    I have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends whom I can lean on no matter what (touch wood) and Giri is one among them. He is one of a kind and to have him as one's friend is to have unconditional love, faith, trust and honesty by one's side. There were times when I might have doubted all this, but he was patient, stuck with me and saw me through. He is one of the best things that happened in my life. In all relationships there will be a testing time. Ours was no different. But he made sure that we cross that phase. Now he is more than a just a friend to me. He is family and I can proudly say that I am one in their family too. He has such a beautiful family. A lovely and loving mom who can cater to any soul on earth. A beautiful, pleasant and amazingly devoted sister that anyone would crave for. She would kill for her brother. Such is her love for Giri. And a charming, lovely, pretty niece who will win a million hearts. Yeah she is now my best friend too. And now my other friend has also become part of this beautiful family. She is a great girl and I am sure she will fit seamlessly into this family.

    I can go on writing, but I know I have to contain myself. To put it all in a nutshell, this day is as much important to me as for him and her. I am thankful for being blessed with such a great friend in my life. I am thankful for being blessed with a bunch of wonderful friends. This is wishing you, Durga and Giri, all my love and good wishes for you two to have a wonderful wonderful long life together.
