I don’t care about engagement stories.
Surprising conversation with a very reasonable and awesome friend of mine:
Her: “I like your blog. I totally care about service in a restaurant. But you know what I don’t care about?”
Me: “No. Tell me.”
Her: “People’s proposal stories.”
Me: “What? Really?? You don’t mean that. I mean, what do you mean?”
Her: “I don’t know! Like, when someone gets engaged, people are all, ‘How did he do it?’ …But that’s not the first question I’d ask.”
Me: “So what’s the first question you’d ask?”
Her: “Are you sure you want to get married?”
Personally, I love proposal stories. I think if he did it on a rocky bluff, or in a Tiffany’s store, or in a decorative garden sculpture at the Palace of Versailles, that it is wonderful and awesome. And it tells me more about you as a couple, which I like.
I know, you didn’t think I was this cheesy, but it’s out there now.
I do assume, however, that by the time you get engaged, you both think it is a good idea. I also assume that I have heard about your significant other before, and that I have reasonable reason to believe you like them. All those requirements being satisfied…tell me how you got engaged! I want to know! yay.
Funny 🙂
I only care to hear about the engagement story if it really is AMAZING. If someone got down on one knee in a park next to a lake where the couple just met, I don’t really care.
