Also called Friendship Ended With Mudasir · Now Salman Is My Best Friend
An elaborate announcement ends one friendship and celebrates another. Label the crossed-out portraits with your old favorite and the new friend with its replacement.
The format turns a change of preference into a public declaration of loyalty. It is especially useful when the switch is small: a different drink, a new route to work, or an earlier bedtime.
The crossed-out portraits represent the thing being abandoned. The handshake represents the new favorite, so the two labels should make the change clear.
