Do you remember the Oracle in the movie The Matrix? She predicted the emergence of "the one." Well, apparently I'm the Oracle, at least to my friend Dan.
Last week I dreamed about Dan and Simone's engagement announcement, and Dan told me on Saturday that he proposed to Simone! I couldn't be happier for them.
I should point out that never in three years have I dreamed about my engagement, but our wedding? Multiple times now. Hopefully I can hone this new-found Oracle power and predict my engagement.
Twice this week I've dreamed about engagements and weddings. Earlier I dreamed that one of our friends and his girlfriend got engaged and then Wednesday night I dreamed about my wedding. I don't remember much about the actual dream, but I remember we were outside and I was so happy. Stephen says it's our destination wedding.
I've been thinking a lot about our wedding. I know it will eventually happen and that when the time comes to plan, I will be freaking out trying to figure out where to start and how to make it all happen. I'm trying to get an early start on ideas and preferences by reading wedding blogs, and can I just say that all this wedding stuff is ridiculously expensive? The sticker shock has me reconsidering what On the plus side, I won't have sticker shock when the time comes because I've already been there.
Before you get all excited, no... it's not mine. Another person I know bit the dust over the weekend and the story was too funny not to share.
Sheila and Pat go to Newport every year, late in the summer, so she knew something was up when he wanted to go to Newport this weekend. Plus he had to "pick up something" from his parents house.
Fast forward to Newport.
Pat insisted on eating dinner at 5 pm and then going for a walk on these cliffs (forgive me, I don't know Newport and don't know if that's what it's called, but apparently it overlooks the ocean.) At the point of the cliffs, Pat started fumbling for the right words and Sheila interrupted him and said, "I think I know what you're about to do."
Ladies (and gents if you read this), she HIJACKED THE PROPOSAL! How funny is that? She felt horrible, but Pat laughed it off and proceeded with his proposal.
I love this story and it goes to show that no matter how it happens, whether really elaborate or hijacked by the fiancee, the proposal story is always fantastic.
