the couple

Last weekend, Chris and I had dinner with another couple.  Yes, I'd never thought I would partake in this activity, but I did!  The so-called double-date.  I don't have anything against this double-dating thing; I just never though it would happen to me, that's all.  (I'll explain in another post, perhaps)

Anyway, the dinner was wonderful.  The couple got engaged a while ago and is in the midst of preparing their December wedding.  Chris talked with the groom-to-be while I chatted with the bride-to-be about dress fittings, undergarments, hairstyles, makeup...etc.

It was alright, but on some level, it made me want to avoid the whole preparation stage all together.  Like I said, I'm happy with just the ring.  The whole wedding thing gives me headaches.  The last thing I want to be is a bridezilla.

And I can imagine a similar situation happening 3 to 5 years later when the topic of discussion would be about our children.  I can imagine me writing the exact same post about how my husband (Chris, and presumably I made it pass the wedding stage) and I had a wonderful dinner with our family friend and how we are debating on having children.

So, it seems like regardless of how you feel about the wedding or the children, these things just happen.  That's just the way to go? No? Maybe?  =P
