My Boss's Wedding

By Donny Donatelli

It has been quite some time since I last spotted my boss. Fortunately, I've been seeing numerous news from her with the help of social networking sites nowadays. As I recall her, Sharon is the type of girl who would not want to be tied up to somebody as she is happy being free like a bird. All she could care for was to get through with the day's work. She was the workaholic type for me, though. And when she plays, she is a playaholic since she knows how to party real hard. She loves grunge fashion and she loves rock music.


I really had a hard time thinking of her as a supervisor. She was more like a friend and a colleague I'd see everyday at work. At work, we weren't allowed to surf the internet during office hours. And since she was my supervisor, I got away with it. I spent lots of hours surfing the internet, saving pictures of my favorite super heroes and then print them later on, in full color using the company's printer which was just a few meters away from me. She knew that and she let me get away with it. Of course, I loved her for that.


One day, she told me she was resigning due to the fact she wasn't amenable with the way of the company. She said there was excessive connivance and corruption going on in the office and she didn't want any part of it. She embraced me and whispered in my ear to be cautious with the people around me when she leaves because she won't be there to protect me any longer. I cried and hugged her for the last time. And then she stepped inside the elevator going down. That was the last time I ever saw her.


After some years, a lot of social networking sites have sprung up like mushrooms. Needless to say, I had to register with the majority of them simply because I was told that I will be capable of finding and getting in touch with old friends again once they sign up for it as well. And I wasn't frustrated. I stumbled upon Sharon in a very well-known networking site. I promptly invited her to be in my pals list and she responded at once.

These days, we have already been chatting a lot with the help of the site's instant messenger application and was I pleasantly surprised just now when she told me she is getting married tomorrow. She will become Mrs. Russ. She showed me their wedding rings via the images she uploaded. They're like never-ending gold vines. Hers is a little one and a bigger one for her soon-to-be hubby. She showed me her husband's gifts to her with their portraits attached to it plus the wedding gown for tomorrow's event. It's basically stunning. The dress sparkled like a diamond and has a number of gold beads sewn on to the base of the gown. She even showed me the cufflinks she'll be giving to her groom as a gift. The cufflinks appeared like a couple of platinum disco balls.


She said she decided on that design because they both love very good music and they both love to dance. I am incredibly happy for her. She said we'll see each other soon and she will bring along her husband, too. Though I am unable to be at their wedding tomorrow, I am still thankful to be just one of the first individuals to get a glimpse of her gown, their wedding rings, the cufflinks and needless to say, the bride-to-be. - 31834
