Wedding season blues

Atleast 4 of my gang of gal-pals will cease to be single by end of April this year. And i am going to miss all those weddings (to be accurate, as of date i have already missed two).
It sucks.
-to not see these otherwise ditzy, adorably crazy women transform into blushing brides, dolled up to enter a brand new phase of their lives
-to not be able to give my recently acquired collection of sarees an opportunity to glitter and get some fresh (or airconditioned,depending on the venue)air and fish for compliments:-p
-to settle for photographs when i'd rather have been there and relive my own wedding moments
-to miss all the yummy, shaadi ka khaana and an overflowing supply of snacks on trays carried by red-uniformed servers
-to not be around for last-minute shopping sprees, soothing frayed nerves and dealing with cases of pre-wedding jitters
-to make do with online-purchased gifts than choosing something 'absolutely perfect' for these women who i have grown up with, cried with, laughed with, shared a million memories with...

i dont care that i am repeating-but it truly sucks big-time!

So while i get email and phone updates of the shopping, the mehendi raat, the bachelorette party plans and the make-up artists, i sulk in my corner of the world and wonder why the US, for all its other advantages, could not have been closer home, closer to things that mean so much..
