On the day that I received an invite to a bacheleorette party, I instantaneously txted the friend, “I didn’t know that you are engaged! Congratulations!”

I was thrilled for her, because I knew how she anticipated this event for so long. Several months ago, she cut an evening together short to speak to her boyfriend because she was having trouble figuring out what they were. Committed or not committed, she wanted to know. I was so happy that she finally got what she wanted.

In a minute, she texted me back saying, “Yes, I thought that I told you earlier!”
