But last Monday I went to my third one in as many years. Not for my friends' children or my children's friends, either. For my own friends.
No, it isn't elderly widows or widowers remarrying. Believe it or not, I hang with a younger crowd on Saturday afternoons.
That's when the Highland Writers' Group meets. HWG members and guests critique each other's work, but we also share friendship.
And some members share even more.
Gordon and Heather were the first. They met at another writers' group, but it was at HWG that their romance blossomed and grew. And we got to watch it.
Mike and Janine were the second. They did meet at HWG.
That's two couples brought together by their common interest in writing.
Admittedly, Monday's wedding was different. Ken and Sunisa didn't meet at HWG, nor had Sunisa ever attended a meeting. Still, we felt like we knew her from Ken's descriptions. And as at the earlier two weddings, there were enough HWG members to fill a table at the reception.
So if you are lonely and looking for love, don't try a bar. Join a group that shares one of your interests, be it photography or bowling or writing.
Because love may be waiting in the chair next to you.
