Always a Bridesmaid

So in a few minutes a bunch of bachelorettes will descend upon my home for the start of a bachelorette party for a dear friend.  While I was cutting flowers in the garden getting ready I thought about the wedding, and that made me think about another wedding coming right up.  This one will be the second of two weddings this year where I've introduced the bride and the groom.  I started wondering whether I'll have any more weddings to my credit.  The rumor is you get into heaven automatically if you bring about three marriages.  I figure that's the best shot I've got.  There's a third couple who've been dating for a year, but I've tried to stay out of the way once I made the introduction so I'm not asking any questions about wedding bells.  I started thinking about who else I could fix up.  Hummdedumdedum.  I realized all of a sudden, hands full of poppies and cosmos, that I don't have any single friends anymore.  I used to have a couple of aces in the hole -- a top notch single girl and a superduper single guy that I was always thinking about finding counterparts for.  But both of them are in relationships, and so is everyone else I hang with most of the time.  Could that be true?  I scrolled through my cell phone listings.  A few singles here and there but not among my closest friends, at least not the ones who are local.  And not many among my outer circle, either.  Good heavens, I've become one of those people.

I'm still single. And in two weeks I will be attending my tenth wedding in the last three years. Always a groomsman...
