going to the chapel...

oh my gosh! filippo proposed to my cousin on saturday!!!!! MY MILLIE'S GETTING MARRIED!!! i'm so so so happy for her! i was on the verge of crying when she told me. we all knew it was coming.. they've been talking about it for ages. but still omg!!

the first time jade told us she kissed a boy, and the first time bradley went clubbing.. millie and i laughed and joked about our babies growing up. but the two of us are only 9 months apart so there was never any sense of awe at seeing each other progress through life.. we just did it, and gossiped about it along the way.

but THIS. this is something totally different! my girl is getting MARRIED! and i am in total awe! her fairy tale came true. her first real boyfriend, her first love, the boy our lola loves so much.. asked her parents' permission 3 weeks ago and then asked her to marry him on saturday. i can't even imagine how happy she must be!

i still remember when she first told me about him. how we were on 3-way with jade, and how the 3 of us giggled all night till about 2am. i remember how one easter or christmas or birthday or something, lola came up to us and put her arms around the boyfriends and called them her grandsons. and on her 21st, that slide show he made for her that made the whole family cry. and now, come november 11 2006... they'll be married!

our family needed this. good timing filippo. and for the millionth time over these past few weeks, i wish i was in sydney so i could be there with them.

one thing though... i wonder who her bridesmaids will be. two years ago i could've told you for sure - jade, olivia and that other little asian chick. now.. i'm not so sure who millie's closest girlfriends are.
