    22 Stages You Have When Your Best Friend Is Getting Married

    I wish you the best...but we're still friends forever right?!

    1. You find out the news that someone got proposed to! You're so excited!

    2. But within a minute of finding out, you start to wonder if you should start using Tinder or OkCupid to find your true love.

    3. Or if you're in a relationship, you wonder if you can start dropping hints to make them propose.

    4. But now it's wedding planning time which means every time you want to go to happy hour, your friend wants to work on her Pinterest wedding board.

    5. Then comes the discussion of what the tuxes should look like and the color of the bridesmaids dresses.

    6. And even after sitting through hours of helping plan their wedding, they still prefer to spend their weekends with their fiancé and not at a bar with you.

    7. Instead, they ask you to spend time with them to help sort out their wedding details.

    8. But even though the planning process can be a pain, you two still giggle with excitement about the big day.

    9. Finally, everything is planned and all there's left to do is wait for the big day and enjoy your best friend's company.

    10. You re-visit old bar hangouts and remember both of your past loves.

    11. There's also days when you're forced to hang out with all of your friend's new couple friends.

    12. Then comes the day when you receive the invitation! It's officially real and the countdown has begun.

    13. You slowly come to the realization that there is now a finite number of days that your best friend is yours only.

    14. They'll soon be best friends with their significant other and that person will hear their secrets first from now on.

    15. The weeks before the wedding you try and hang out with them as much as possible.

    16. And even though you both get a little sick of each other, you keep hanging out.

    17. The days suddenly fly by and it's rehearsal dinner night. You eat and smile but you're also a little wistful about losing your partner in crime.

    18. It's wedding day! You put on your smile, comfort your friend, tell them life is going to be great, and take as many photos as you can.

    19. The next couple of days after the wedding feel normal but you definitely have that phantom limb feeling.

    20. But soon your best friend is back from their honeymoon and asking you to come over and watch movies!

    21. While some things have changed, giggling over your favorite TV shows never will.

    22. Even though your best friend is now married, you're still best friends forever!
