ungiddy friend
a friend's getting married soon. she recently got engaged to a person i haven't met. they've known each other for about 4 months. i don't even know: if the guy's one of her old acquaintances. i just got a text message a couple of months ago: eunmi, i have a boyfriend. and then yesterday: eunmi, i'm getting married.
one of our friends who also have not met this guy, she lives overseas, said she was so giddy and super excited. now why can't i have the same reaction?
i congratulated her of course. but i had to say it's awfully fast, but that it's fine as long as she's happy and sure. why do i have to be the grounded friend? now i sound like i'm not happy for her and so unexcited and unsupportive.
is that bad? i can't help if i think that way. how can i be excited over a friend's marriage to a stranger? Our giddy friend also got married to a stranger. she met him abroad, but they've been together for a couple of years before they got hitched. and she often emailed us about him.
so i think this friend's case is a bit different than giddy friend's.
not to say i was excited with giddy friend's wedding announcement too. i'm just not the person that gets hyperventilated (in the positive sense) at the thought of marriage.
well. they say when you've met the one you just know it.
