When Did This Happen?

I know I'm at a new stage in my life when I look through the engagment/wedding announcements, and I know a vast majority of the couples.

Two long-lost friends of mine, a couple that I've lost touch with, recently were engaged. He gradutated from high school with me, she's two years younger. All three of us were in band together... he as a brass player and she in the colorguard with me. He and I used to spend lengthy bus trips discussing his then-budding relationship with her, what she would like, what she wouldn't like, when it was appropriate to give flowers, what was an appropriate Christmas gift, etc. I was, I guess, part of his inside connection to her. That was six years ago.

I'm married a rapidly gone by six months. I met my guy in college and we moved a little faster than this couple did. They're looking to an August wedding. And I still remember having these "in-depth" conversations, bouncing in a school bus, on the way to a football game.

I guess the next big phase comes when I start recognizing birth announcements :P
