“Double Happiness” by Flavor Design

So last night I attended the wedding reception of an ex-flame at a Chinese restaurant. And I had a blast.

Whilst getting ready to head out I was a little apprehensive of the kind of the night that I’d have. But those worries were soon erased.

I was seated with four of her closest girlfriends, one of whom I’m tight with. Two of them are married, and one is expecting her first child. Their husbands were jokey and jovial. The girls were a bawdy bunch – the pregnant one was especially hilarious. Alcohol was free-flowing but it wasn’t necessary to keep the laughs coming all night long. I think we were the loudest table of the night.

Not forgetting the reason why we were there, the bride and groom looked really happy. And as I’ve mentioned before, one can’t help but be infected by their shared happiness.

Yes I have a history with the bride, and even though I have moved on a long time ago, the what-if feelings can’t help but creep into my head though I was too busy having a good time to give them much thought. The groom whom I’ve met several times is genuinely likable and I can honestly feel her joy in marrying such a wonderful guy, as cheesy as that sounds.

My night didn’t end there – I headed off to The Deen to meet up with Simon after, and neither did my happy mood. I’ve said before that I’ve met many people and done things that I wouldn’t have had, if we had ended up together. But I’ve also met many people and experienced different things *because* our paths had crossed. Having a great time last night is one of those things.

It’s not that difficult to feel blessed. All it takes is a different perspective.
