Arctic Fox's EPRHA V2 Journal

[ArcticFox]

Well, I've made some big mistakes in my life, and I typically wake up to them - that gut wrenching feeling where you know you cant change the past, but today's surpasses all of them.

I missed my friends wedding. I got a phone call from the hotel I had booked to stay at for the night of the wedding next weekend, so I could let loose and have fun. They asked what time I was checking in, it was 8:00PM and wondering where i was, and wanted to know what time I would be checking in today.

Puzzled, I calmly informed them that they must have made a mistake as my booking was not until next weekend, they insisted that i definitely booked today, i checked my booking and indeed they were correct, very rare of me to make a mistake like that but fair enough - full room costs lost but they said they will book me in for next Saturday for the wedding. Not bothered about the money I lost on the mistake, I got on with my day.

After going out to buy a new 3 piece suit for the wedding the following Saturday, and coming home something twigged in my mind - I ran to my room and found the invitation to the wedding, the penny dropped. THE WEDDING WAS TODAY.

I dont know how this happened but this is not good, I cant really put into words how bad this is as it is (was as i doubt they will talk to me now) a close friend.

I'm struggling to see the funnier or bright side to this, but when I think about all of the cues leading up to this day I have to say there was something beyond my intelligence working here, either that or I am a bad person on a level that I cant even comprehend to understand.

My only hope is that my absence was extremely insignificant to an otherwise amazing day for the happy couple.
