i know i'm overreacting and this is NOT a true statement, but i feel like ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GETTING MARRIED! yes, i know like 832 other people that i know are getting married/have gotten married within the past recentness, but when it's two of my good good friends, it makes things a little different. i'm a little giddy right now.
