Weddinz a Comin'

All right! Just found out my buddy Kevin just popped the question over the weekend (and even got a 'yes'. What a deal). That means I can now look forward to three weddings of pals of mine in the future. First there's Kevin's, which may end up being a Florida wedding as that's where he's living now. Then my friend K.C. has marital bliss in his future plans, as he got himself engaged a while back. This is likely to be a Chicago wedding, which would be awesome (more so if it's in the summer, so I don't have to deal with snow, but I'll take what I can get if it gets me back to Chicago for a couple of days. It's my kind of town, you know...). And, before both of those guys, my friend Russ signed off on his bachelorhood, so his day is coming down the road, too (no date set on any of these that I'm aware of). His could mean either a Boise wedding...or a San Diego one...or a Vegas one...or elsewhere. Place your bets! There's also a fourth one I just found out about, my old buddy Jason. However, he's a Marine, and his fiancee appears to be Serbian, so I may not have the frequent flier miles saved up for THAT one...

Always a good time, these weddings, and I always look forward to them. It's either a chance to get old friends together for the first time in a long while (as it was at my friend A.T.'s wedding), or a chance to get to meet some cool new people (as it turned out at my old roommate Aaron's wedding in Seattle...or my friend Bryan's hitch-up in Omaha). Great chance to get some pics of friends, experience some great memories, and get a free meal to boot. Traveling to get to them is always better. Granted, I really hate traveling, in general, but doing so for such occasions makes them more of an event.

So guess I'd better start planning ahead for some airline tickets. Love is in the air. Congratulations, and a thumbs-up for wise choices, for all my soon-to-be-off-the-market buds.
