Weddings, baby showers, retirement parties, funerals

My younger friends are posting this Onion article and LOLing ruefully. 

29-Year-Old Has Been Going To Different Friend's Wedding Every Weekend For Past 3 Years

Here's my debbie downer response. Enjoy the weddings, and the bachelor/bachelorette parties. Savor the baby showers and little kid birthday parties. Blink twice and those will all be behind you, and your calendar will fill up with retirement parties and memorial services. I went to one wedding and six memorial services last year. To everything there is a season, remember? Enjoy this season's parties; hug your old friends, make some new ones, take lots of pictures. Send your host a nice thank-you note afterwards.
