wedding frenzy

MnQ's getting married this july; EfD's getting married this august.

both are 22 yrs old.

one's marrying an indonesian who currently living in the fabulous NYC; the other's marrying a chinese-canadian in this city (victoria, that is).

both i just met last january, but have become 2 of my bestfriends in this place. one attending UVic just like me; the other's in vancouver and just graduated from UBC.

both told me about their proposal and engangement through instant messages. one's using msn; the other's using yahoo.

there. must. be. something. in. the. water.

i still can't believe it. what is it with the wedding bash? okay, last april i was worn out and just came home from campus, when i opened my notebook and a message appear on the screen, saying, "mil, gue dilamar!!"; today (come to think about it, it was yesterday, it's passed midnight now) i woke up still with my heavy eyes and found another message on my screen which led to this piece of conversation:


mizjazz: emiiiil!!! lo balik ke indo kapan?? bisa dtg ke vancouver gak tgl 3 juli??? mo diundang nih
freak_2thebeat: hey nique
mizjazz: dor!
freak_2thebeat: ada apa 3 juli?
mizjazz: tumben nyaut
mizjazz: ada makan2 gratis
freak_2thebeat: baru bangon, sori2
freak_2thebeat: makan2 paan?
mizjazz: makan2 sate padang, sosis solo
freak_2thebeat: huaaa

freak_2thebeat: mau sih, tp flight tgl 5
freak_2thebeat: dr victoria
mizjazz: dr mana? vancouver?
mizjazz: hayaaa
mizjazz: ya maen sehari ajalah
mizjazz: gw mo nikah :O)
mizjazz: :)
freak_2thebeat: sumpah??????????
mizjazz: yep :D
freak_2thebeat: no kidding?
mizjazz: nope

and of course i said yes, i would go to your wedding, provided you get me a place to stay and she gladly would. even until now, i am still in shock. i know, they might be ready and eveything, but considering today's nature, 22 is still a bit young, don't you think? or maybe it's just me with my post-modern thought has occupied most of my brain?

i thought i can do with some sharing-the-story with another of my bestfriend in brisbane, through msn, of course. so just awhile ago i told her about the whole news. and here's a piece of what we ended up talking about:
