Marriage has been a hot issue for me and boyfriend for the past few days. We have been talking about it—debating over it sometimes—because I am being pressured by the people around us, always redundant of a certain fact: My biological clock is ticking.
What’s taking the wedding bells so long? I know I am becoming too desperate to marry. I have always been dreaming of a perfect occasion, it may not be something like The Wedding of the Year or a grand engagement proposal with him kneeling down and showing me a diamond ring in a Limoges porcelain box (which also reminds me of our 80-year old land lady’s antique music box). All I want is the groom to be wholeheartedly present on the ceremony, sharing with me the vows of love and loyalty.
I am not posting this to give him a hint, or worse, to torture him. It sounds funny, though, that I am able to disclose this in public. But yes, I am proud that at the age of (insert your guess here), I am mature enough to discuss it with boyfriend, and strong enough to deal with the risks. I hope he also feels and thinks the same way as I do.
I have an uncle who took forever to propose marriage to his girlfriend. They were near-40's at that time already. Six years ago, the girl told him that if they don't get married that year, she'd break up with him. Oh he got scared I guess, 'coz they got married that very summer. Luckily, they still managed to have one baby, that is, after a couple of miscarriages.
ReplyDeleteIf everything is working well between you, I don't see why you shouldn't marry. If you are compatible in every way possible, go for it!
