My Best Friend Is Engaged!!!

Yippie!!!!!!!! I cannot even begin 2 tell you how excited I am! My best friend is engaged… oh my God! We have been day dreaming about this day 4 soooooo long, and we have always started it with something like “Well, whoever my husband will be, I want him to…”, and now, we know who her husband will b! Frank is a wonderful, handsome, intelligent, articulte, hard-working, you-really-gotta-see-him man. I couldn’t have picked a betta person 4 Sola. I don’t need 2 tell you that the picture you see is that of my one and only, Sola, and her fiance. Oh my God!… He’s her fiance. Ah, this don serious o! But u know what’s even better? I’m d maid of honor! She hasn’t told me yet, but shoot, it has always been know that I would be the maid of honor. I have already told Frank 2 make sure that his best man is cute cause I will not b walkin down d aisle wit any….. u get my point sha.

So here’s how it happened. Frank was celebratin his graduation (degree in Architechture…in case u need an architect sha…), and next thing, home boy takes the mic and his voice becomes all shaky and his eyes are misty. Next thing, he was on his knees askin Sola 2 marry him. I think Sola’s mouth was open for a good 5 minutes… as I heard. Unfortunately, I missed d proposal cause I was late 2 the event, but no kwamps sha, I will definitely b there 4 the wedding.

When I came in and heard, I started crying hysterically. I dunno why the hell I was crying, but I was. I called Funmie and cried on d phone 2 her too, and I also called my mom and cried. I was so happy 4 Sola. I just couldn’t help crying! I have known her since she was a teenager and now she is engaged. You know one wonderful thing about this too? Sola’s inlaws (Frank’s family) are the best! They love her, and they are glad 2 have her in their midst. Frank’s sister and I have already become inlaws sef! You shoulda heard us talking; you’d think we’ve known each other 4 years…

Sola appointed me as one of her weddin planners… yay! I love this kinda stuff. So as the weddin planner sha, I suggested we save money on the dj and use my boom box 4 music, but she rejected my idea… can u believe that?! She said I am crazy and retarded. Is that a way 2 talk 2 ur weddin planner? She doesn’t know I can just vex and resign my post ehn? Sola’s calling me crazy is something I know would neva end; she has always told me so from the very beginning. I even went as far as offering 2 give her the music cd of her choice 2 play in the boom box while she’s walkin in2 the aisle, but this yeye gal refused. I mean, kpata kpata, if the cd scratches while she’s walking in, we’ll bring it out, clean it, and continue. My last suggestion 2 her was that we play ‘shake that booty’ by elephant man. (Actually, the song is called ‘jook gal’), but she refused again! I tire 4 this kin customer o.

Oh, you know what I’m really lookin 4ward 2? I’m lookin 4ward 2 writin her a love poem and readin it @ the reception. This has always been a dream 4 us…and the fact that it will be happening soon is making my heart go paulina-paulina. Don’t ask me wat that means; I learnt it from my mom. A paulina-paulina heart is a happy heart.

Hmmmm…. I wonder wat my engagement wuld b like. It betta be as crazy as I am… that’s all I can say 4 now.

anyways, here r a few tips 2 reduce cost @ the wedding… and even make some money

• guests will bring their own food
• wedding wuld b held outside, so a hall would not b needed
• my boom box wuld b used, so a dj wuld not b necessary
• guests wuld bring their own canopy (if they want) 2 protect them from d sun… or rain sef
• Each family wuld share a spoon, a fork, a knife and a cup.
• The tap in the bathroom wuld b workin properly, so no drinks have 2 b bought
• The cake will be bought at CoastCo, Sam’s Club or any other wholesale store …
• ALL the guests wuld b mandated 2 get up and spray money on the couple
• ALL guests wuld be screened 4 gifts b4 comin in2 (under) the uh.. canopy
• ALL guests wuld b mandated 2 bring several zip locks bags and several empty water bottles… in case they need 2 shit or pee
• instead of chairs, mats would b spread on the grass 4 guests… but they can bring their own chairs if they want
• in fact, in addition 2 the mandatory gifts from the guests, there wuld also be a $20 gate fee
• ALL the guests (including unborn babies) wuld b required 2 buy a ‘sola-weds-frank’ pin whether they like it or not.. and it will cost an additional $10
• ALL the guests are required 2 take pictures @ the wedding, but only by the wedding photographer…and they must pay 2 have it printed out (whether they want it or not) = $15

….well, that’s all 4 now. I bet u too think I’ve lost my good sense, right?

Bye 4 now jare… it’s 3:40am. I got back home @ about 2:30am. I gotta go 2 bed now; I have some serious dreamin 2 do in my sleep.

Nite-nite!
