This weekend Catherine introduced me for the first time to one of
her bridesmaids the wonderful Cathy Campbell. To be honest it had got
to the point where I started to believe that Cathy was a figment of
Catherine’s imagination, her imaginary friend.
Thinking about it, it does seem quite strange that I have never
met her ‘soon to be’ bridesmaid, but when I thought it out it was
completely natural. Catherine’ other two ladies currently reside in
England and Cathy is a Paediatric Registrar in Craigavon while living in
Belfast. Working the crazy hours of a doctor and living in the city
that I do not frequently travel it seems unless we made the effort to
go out of our way we wouldn’t be meeting until the day of the
wedding.
Catherine and Cathy have an arrangement that even with their
conflicting schedules and busy lives they meet up at least once a
month for diner or coffee for a good catch up. Catherine has said to
me many times that “if we (Cathy and her) didn’t see each other
for 10 years, we would meet up and it would be exactly like they had
met every day, nothing would be different.”
Catherine had set the date for us all to meet weeks ago and since
then it has been wild teasing. I have been jokingly informed that “if
Cathy doesn’t approve the whole things off”. We met up for diner
in Omagh, I can confirm that Cathy Campbell is not Catherines
imaginary friend, she is in fact real!!!
We all had a lovely evening and the time flew past; there were a
lot of stories and catching up. A lot of wedding plans discussed and
secret plans shared. A good laugh was had by all. The main thing to
come out of the evening was that Cathy does approve and the wedding
goes ahead as planned.
James and Cat
