My best friend is getting married in November! She’s one of my closest friends. I have called her in moments of crisis throughout my life, and she has always made herself available at any time. I consider her the glue of our friend group as she’s always the one to organize group events for us all to get together. I was tasked to help plan her bachelorette party along with her maid of honor. I’m not an event planner by any means, but the whole weekend really came together.

We stayed in an Airbnb in Saint Paul, Minnesota’s capital city. The Airbnb was neat because it actually used to be an old church. There was room for all seven of us to stay. We were supposed to have a group of eight, but one of our friends had COVID. This weekend was jam-packed with a group walk, a fancy dinner, and a comedy show on Saturday night. As per a Bachelorette party, there were plenty of drinks consumed. I felt I had to take a day or two to fully recover.

As I reflect on the weekend, I am truly fortunate to have my best friend in my life. She is caring and honest, and has always had my back. I’m so happy to celebrate her wedding in a month or two. I love her to pieces, and I know she will be in my life forever.
