Engagement
Today as I was sitting down and looking over venues to where my best friend should have her engagement party, my phone rang and it was from R. Before I picked it up, I had the sinking feeling that it was about her bf's dad. I was right, he had passed away the night before. However, she surprised me with another set of news.....she was engaged! Oh. My. God. The look on my bf's mother's face as I ran and rambled through her house was priceless. After which, I apologised for being so ecstatic about things.
Engagements.
They are always epic. And if they are not, well, something has gone wrong somewhere boys. The engagement is known as the trial period before the marriage. The marrying of 2 families, the marrying of friends and finally and most importantly, the marrying of tastes between the couple. It all starts with the ring. I have heard of stories where the "wrong" ring in itself has caused a 5 year relationship to go out the window. Girls are easily persuaded that "If he doesn't know what suits me by now, then well, he doesn't know me at all. "
Well this may be true in areas such as her fabourite colour, an engagement ring is a whole new genre in itself. I always firmly believe in the hint dropping of catolouges, or a gentle nudge towards the right assortment whilst you are causally walking down jewellery stores. But if that all seems too tough, then informing your maid of honour to drop hints would definately seal the deal as well.
I turned 24 not too long ago and everyone who knows me well enough know that I hate turning older. A good friend of mine who is my age, decided to go on a date with an older man....he was pushing 50. Obviously, my initial reaction was to be in shock but hey, I really shouldn't judge people.But I couldn't wipe the look off my own face when she told me that he had reached 3rd base.....
So back to looking at engagement party venues.
stay alive and kicking people.
