It is friends like that that assures you they know what’s best for you.
3. They are your pillar of support

The magic is in the closeness of your friendship – knowing that whatever they say and whatever they do is only for the benefit of one another.
5. They have always been there for you
You cannot recall a time where you didn’t run to them for advice even for the dumbest of things – only to be accepted and entertained with open arms. They know your secrets at the back of their hands and they keep them safe for you. They don’t judge you for your bad decisions but are just simply there because they can and because they care.

7. They finish your sentences
When someone finishes your sentences, you know you have reached a high level of friendship. It is an amazing skill that you can only pick up when you know each other so well. It shows just how alike you two are and just alike your thoughts are which makes your life a little easier during your busy wedding planning.
