My wedding Lit up a BFF Breakup.

 

"Planning a wedding can be an emotional night mare for your friendships."

It’s New Year's Eve and I'm engaged! The first number I dial is my BFF, whom I've known since my Nursery and Primary School where we bonded over a love of eating out together and terrible passion for Church choir and praise n worship. And out of every relative and friend, I was most excited to tell her the news. Although we lived in different estates, we spoke on the phone every day, sent valentine’s presents every February and even went out for visits in Mombasa once a year. I didn’t have many friends growing up, and I lost the only sister when I was 14. My best friend was the only child in her family and didn't have many friends either. But we had each other.

And I thought my best friend forever is supposed to be my pillar through the hectic and exciting process of planning my wedding. After all, that's why we call them BFFs. Fast-forward three months and our friendship was over.

Have you ever experienced this? Inauma sana!
