Considering the enormity of my news, I was careful not to shock my friends when sharing it with them. Here’s how *every single* one of them responded.
.
Me : Hey, I’ve got some news to share with ya. Quite a shocker actually.
Fren : Really??? Watisit???
Me : Make sure you are sitting down and do not have any food/drink in your mouth. Dun want you to fall or choke on your food/drink. Heh…
Fren : Wait…dun tell me. Lemme guess…YOU AND LEONG/AARON ARE GETTING MARRIED?!?!?!?!? CONGRATS!!!!!
Me : Huh??? No no no no no no no …..
.
So folks, for the record :
- We are not walking or running or skipping down the aisle
- Dating someone for close to 4 yrs does not automatically equate wedding bells
- We are still happily together
- We still love each other very, very much
.
Really. Let’s think Out of the Box for a moment. Everything we do in Life, we do it for a purpose. We work for money. We destress to keep sane. We eat to be happy (well, for me anyways. Hehe). We drink so some folks appear ‘acceptable’. And, we get married to….?
- Have kids
- Prove our commitment to each other
- Bond ourselves together
- Obtain financial stability
- Keep loneliness away
- Have a reason to cohabitate
- Others?
And my (all rights reserved) answer to all of the above - BULLSHIT.
.
So far, no one is able to give me ONE good reason to have a different opinion. Yes, that’s a DARE to ya, you-know-who…
.
The only one in the list that is remotely acceptable is the first one (Let’s face it, we live in Asia. Malaysia some more. ‘Nuff said.) and guess what, there ain’t any maternal instinct knocking on my door (now or ever? Maybe. Dunno. Dun care atm) and all the other reasons are total CRAP. Definitely dun need to sign any papers to get all of them. In fact, I *already* have all of them. Those that I want and need anyways. 
.
So for us, it’s really very simple. As long as we are HAPPY together, as long as our love for each other is there to make us wanna BE together, we WILL stay together. No piece of paper is gonna change that. Ever.
