So Happy Together

IMG_3361Speaking of weddings, I hear nuptial bells in the future for a dear friend of mine.

I am always skeptical when I hear my single friends gush about guys.  I would know.  I used to be one of those girls.

“We talk all the time!”  Translation: He texts me a couple times a week.

“He’s different from the other guys.”  Translation: He actually pays the bill.

“He’s close to his family.”  Translation: He needs to be close to them because he could use the inheritance to pay off his credit card debt.

“He’s thoughtful.”  Translation: He sends me an email within one day (give or take) of my birthday.

“He gets along with my friends.”  Translation: He’s ready to pounce on them as soon as I go to the bathroom.

So when my friend went on about this new guy she was dating, I figured it wouldn’t last long.  They never do.  But this time, even I’ll admit that it’s different.  She’s giddy when she talks about him.  I get giddy hearing her talk about him.  They hang out almost every day.  We setup a double-date and I was giddy watching them together.  Two hot, smart people who looked very much in love.  I couldn’t be happier.
