The domino theory cometh

A friend of mine that I have known since kindergarten is getting married. We have decidedly been closer in our 20 years of communication, but then she used to live 100 feet from my house, and now is in the Navy on the other coast of our great nation, so it is perhaps understandable. Still, this may be the first marriage I consider that of a peer. The first one I feel I should go to, and not just because it'll be fun (but it should be). It boggles my mind, really, the girl who was born five days before me, who suffered rejection with me while attending gifted and talented classes, and who I briefly attempted having feelings for in seventh grade is getting married. Can I be far behind? Well, at the current rate, yes, but it still puts me on guard.
