My Best Friend's Future Wedding

I received a call the other last weekend from my best friend who’s now currently working in Dubai. She said that she’s been calling me since December and left a voicemail message that she’s engaged already. Then she called me again and left another message greeting me Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and another message after a week and again last weekend. I didn’t receive all the messages that she left in my voicemail so last weekend I knew that she’s engaged. At last, my best friend for years will soon be married. I am happy for her but at the same time sad and confused. We are far from each other and she wants me to be her maid of honor. The wedding might be in Dubai or in the Philippines and both countries are far from where I am now. I don’t like to think about the distance but that’s part of the package if I am going to travel to attend her wedding. Thinking about it made me realize that I have to be in the plane for a long period of time, changing planes from one place to another and then I have to consider adjusting my body clock coz those places have a different time than mine now. Anyway, I can still remember the time when we both wish and hope that if we both get married we want to be neighbors. I don’t think it’s going to happen now coz she works in Dubai and the future husband is from Lebanon. She has a house in the Philippines but it’s in a different Island from where I’ll stay if I go back to the Philippines. I don’t know. I’m confused whether I go or not considering the distance where I’m going and without my husband.
