Finally Analiz made her appearance and she was so surprised that we were doing this that tears filled her eyes. But that was quickly forgotten as two bare-chested waiters began moving among the group, serving drinks. I settled back in my seat, listening to the girls chatter excitedly about the wedding on Sunday. I must admit that I was looking forward to the event as well. Analiz and Jared had been together for a long while and it was time to take things to the next level. I was a bit envious of their relationship. I wished that I could find someone who would love me with the same unconditional love that Jared had for Analiz. But I pushed those somber thoughts aside. Tonight was for having fun with my best friends and new friends and for celebrating the last night of freedom for Analiz.
