3 Years No Contact, Still Her Wedding’s Head Table

As I've aged over 30, I've increasingly discovered one thing: the people who truly stay with you for the long haul don't need daily meetings or constant updates. Even if we haven't spoken for three years, when we meet again, the connection is still seamless.

This is true for me and my best friend.

Three years ago, she moved to a new city, busy with a new job and a new relationship, while I threw myself into my career. With different paces of life, we gradually became less frequent WeChat messages and stopped having long late-night phone calls. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, wondering if our friendship was fading. But over time, I've learned to accept it—everyone goes through life, and a lack of contact doesn't mean the relationship has faded.

Until she unexpectedly sent me a wedding invitation. Honestly, I was a bit surprised. After all, we hadn't seen each other in three years, and I didn't even know who her fiancé was. But when I opened the door to the wedding hall and saw her smile and wave at me, and seat me at the head table, my eyes filled with tears. It turns out that in her heart, I still hold a special place.

We talked for a long time that day. She said that although she hadn't been in touch often in recent years, she still thought of me in many important moments. For example, when faced with a difficult situation, she silently asked herself, "What would you do if it were you?" Or when she saw a funny meme, she recalled the nights we laughed until our stomachs ached. She said that friendship doesn't require frequent check-ins; it's a deeper connection. Hearing this warmed my heart.

For the wedding, I dressed up extravagantly. As people over 30, we have a new understanding of ceremony: it's not for others, but for ourselves. I wore glueless lace wigs, which were easy to wear and fit naturally, without worrying about them shifting while dancing. The unrestrained feeling of freedom relaxed me and made me smile more confidently. My best friend, meanwhile, sported a soft Burmese curly m cap wig, the curls flowing naturally, accentuating her bridal radiance. We smiled at each other, and in that moment, it felt like we were back in our youth, nothing had changed.

Amidst the joyous atmosphere of the wedding, I suddenly realized that true friendship is like this wig—sometimes you might set it aside, unused, but when you need it, it's still intact, bringing you the most familiar beauty and strength.

Over the years, I've made many new friends, but it's still her who makes me let my guard down and laugh out loud. The depth of our connection no longer requires frequent contact to prove it. As she said, "No matter how long we haven't seen each other, you will always be one of the most important people to me."

Back home, I looked through photos from the wedding, and I felt a deep conviction: Friendship isn't about maintaining a high frequency of contact, but about being there for each other in the crucial moments. It withstands the test of time and the distance.

So, sisters, if you have a close friend you haven't spoken to in a while, don't doubt the value of that friendship. Life is busy, and running around is normal. But true friendship isn't afraid of silence. Even if we haven't been in touch for three years, as long as our hearts are still there, we can still be there for each other's most important occasions and sit side by side at the head table.

Friendship isn't just about daily greetings, but about unconditional trust and acceptance. It gives us strength far greater than we imagine.

So don't worry, don't distance yourself; don't be afraid, don't be cold. If she's a true friend, that feeling will never expire.
