Last Saturday was a happy day for my barkada when our dearest Adel married Lucky, in church this time. It was an especially happy day for me, because Lucky is my friend since high school, and they met because of me during the UP Fair 2003 (not that I take any credit, they would have met nevertheless because they’re meant for each other). It was a beautiful wedding full of love, love, love and fun, fun, fun. Hay.
The barkada eagerly awaited this event so we can see each other all glammed up.
It was my first time to be a bridesmaid. I really need to do something about those arms and that tummy before my wedding.
Here we are with the bride and groom (sorry to those cut off):
I love this group, they’re the best friends a girl could ask for! We’ve been together for 11 years now and still solid as ever. We actually started out as groupmates back in freshman year in college. We were required to have a group name in our Kas I class, and we called ourselves S.A.B.I.K.–Samahan ng mga ‘Alang Boyfriend, Iniirog, o Kalaguyo. Needless to say, we were all unattached then. What started as a group of 10 speech majors doubled into the group that we are now from different colleges in UP and even from different schools. They’re my nearest and dearest.

Abet played during the reception, of course.
He played Roland Dyens’s arrangement of Hymne L’Amour, a beautiful French love song popularized by Edith Piaf. I’ve been bugging him to learn that piece for so long now.
I’m very much looking forward to the next S.A.B.I.K. wedding so we can all have fun like we did last Saturday. There won’t be any more this year, but there’ll be three next year (including mine), so there are lots of fun times ahead.
Soon it will be our turn.
Adel and Lucky’s wedding just made me a lot more excited about my own. I saw how my friends helped out to make the wedding beautiful and smooth-sailing, I know that my wedding is in good hands as long as my friends are there for me.
To Adel and Lucky, congratulations and best wishes! I love you both!
And to my dearest friends, you guys are the best! I love you all!
