wedding things

my oldest childhood friend is getting married this summer. next month, i will be attending her bridal shower with my mother. the fact that my friend is getting married doesn't necessarily freak me out. i'm not feeling suffocated by the lifelong commitment, but the whole thing is just kind of surreal.

this girl was supposed to marry jordan knight. i was supposed to marry joey mcintyre. we played barbies. we built cardboard houses in her backyard. we made up a language, imaginary friends and had a dance routine. we even smoked our first cigarettes together. basically when i think of my childhood, i think of living next door to this girl and growing up side by side. and now she's getting married.

i'm very happy for her, and excited for the event. but damn. goodbye childhood. goodbye jordan knight. (isn't he gay?) and hello target wedding registry with monogrammed towelettes.

i remember it only because she's the only person i'd ever encountered that actually was a jon girl - i learned this while you and her were posted up in the austin healey. i think you might have eventually talked her into jordan, though.

holy crap. you are absolutely right. she was a jon girl! i can't believe i forgot that. i distinctly remember discussing it when dad bought us NKOTB posters from the boulevard mall. i wanted the joey one, and she wanted the jon.
