once... twice...

When the first guy who's asked you to marry him, gets married, you feel like Julia Robert's character in My Best Friend's Wedding.

When another guy who's asked you to marry him, is gonna get married to a close friend, it feels funny.

The guy you WERE gonna marry, *sigh* let's not go there.


It's sweet when a guy you've known in primary school tells you that he's decided that he wants to marry you since then. Logistically not possible since he moved continents since high-school. Sweet nonetheless 'coz at 18, he comes back and tells you that you're still his dream girl, still wants to marry you. Sounds like ever the fairy-tale...

Number two happened when I was finally in the same continent as the first, but in different states. He was ready to settle down. At 19, I wasn't. Not to mention there was already someone else in my life.

Since I wasn't gonna tie him down, irony was he started dating a close friend. And now, after she hasn't seen him for a while, and they haven't been going out (yeah, tell me the logic one day), plus they're in different countries, they decide to get married. Ohh... in the span of two months.

I'm happy for her really. Am not surprised when she called to say she was getting married. Just almost dropped the phone when she said to whom. Heh.

Proposals... marriage... there will only ever be one time that your heart says yes, and mean it.
