A Facebook Engagement

This is a conversation I had with my kindred spirit and bosom friend around 8 or 9 months ago.

so all of my adds on facebook are for wedding planning

9:33pmAmy

hahaha thats amazing

9:34pmSarah

is yours like that too?

9:34pmAmy

i thought it was so funny how we both freaked out when we found out thats

what amanda was doing on saturday [background info: our other friend Amanda (my current roommate, Sarah's roommate at the time) had gone wedding dress/bridemaid dress shopping with a friend of hers that weekend]

9:34pmSarah

I know!

9:34pmAmy

:)

um... i dont know... maybe. i have seen some for sure

9:34pmSarah

I didnt get to ask her how it went though

9:34pmAmy

i know me either

9:34pmSarah

I want details!

9:35pmAmy

yes! like the color of the bridesmaids dresses!

9:36pmSarah

and wedding gown styles!

9:36pmAmy

eeee!!!!

:)

sarah, we should get married. for reals.

just so we can pick wedding stuff

9:36pmSarah

ok. lets pick a date

9:37pmAmy

oh! I just realized why we're getting wedding planning stuff! we're engaged!

thats why the ads!

9:37pmSarah

you make me laugh Amy Eckert

9:38pmAmy

haha sorry... i didnt put two and two together too quickly...

haha

9:38pmSarah

I love you

9:38pmAmy

i love you too

back to the date...

9:38pmSarah

<3

9:39pmAmy

um... well if your going to east asia... we have to either do it before we leave for the summer or after you get back sometime

unless we go to vegas, but that would kinda defeat the point of wedding planning

9:39pmSarah

true

yeah, I need to plan this

you only get one

if everything goes right

Amy

theoretically

:)

9:40pmSarah

I don't think before east asia gives me enough time to plan

9:41pmAmy

yeah i dont think so either... and if we wait for amanda to be one of our bridesmaids, then we might have to put

it off even longer

maybe next winter break

9:42pmSarah

hm. yeah, but I don't know if I can wait that long

9:42pmAmy

well... it will be hard, but i think it will pay off to wait

9:43pmSarah

distance/time make sthe heart grow fonder...

9:43pmAmy

true true

9:45pmSarah

We really haven't been engaged too long. I've barely met you, in fact

for this kind of life long relationship...

9:46pmAmy

...true, but its just kinda one of those things where if you know your perfect for eachother, no matter how long you've known the person, you just go for it.

9:46pmSarah

yeah, you're right. do you know?

9:46pmAmy

know what?

9:48pmSarah

that this is a match made in heaven, this is the one

9:48pmAmy

it is. we are so perfect for each other.

9:48pmSarah

:)

 
 
Should you be curious... We ended up calling off our engagement. By marrying different people instead of each other, we can enjoy two weddings instead of one. Plus, we both want our own special day :)
