I’m 26, in a long-term relationship and realistically I’ll be getting married in a couple of years. And lately, I’ve had this weird, slightly sad realization that I don’t really have a girl gang.
It’s not like I’ve never had friends. I always have. School, college, work, there were always people. But almost all my friendships had an expiry date. They lasted as long as proximity did. Once that changed, things faded.
And some of my closest friends who I know love me don't like each other. There’s no one circle I can bring together without it feeling awkward or forced.
I know a wedding isn’t about that. I know it’s about the person you’re marrying. But still… I can’t help but feel like I missed out on something along the way. I wish I had my girls who would be as happy and excited as me for planning and enjoying my wedding.
