Thank you so much to everyone who congratulated me on Facebook. OMG. I still can’t believe it. It was such a surprise, I’m still in shock. I know I’ve been putting up a wall of ice, saying all this time that I don’t want to get married. But deep in my heart, all these years, all I wanted was someone to love me, to help me get through this lonely life because it’s so hard to get through it on my own.
I didn’t tell anyone about him because I know he’s not everyone’s idea of the perfect man. You know, he’s not the one I expected to fall for, he doesn’t treat me the way I always thought a man should, but he PROPOSED to me, I mean, isn’t that all that matters? That I love him and he wants to marry me? As long as we’ll be married, right? That’s what it’s all about.
Check out the rest of the pictures of this lovely surprise…
Okay it’s getting really hard to keep that up.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY! 😀
Sorry guys, but you all know that on April 1, everyone’s fair game! You’d think after last year’s prank (my coming out of the closet) not that many people would fall for it, especially my family. Hahaha.
If I were my imaginary fiance I’d be the most insecure man alive because I never post any pictures or anything about him on FB. Hahaha! Sorry, I can’t stop laughing!
Seriously, guys. I’m not harboring some secret fantasy of getting married. Hard as it may be for some of you to believe, I do enjoy being single and my dreams of “happily ever after” do not include a man.
This was a prank with a purpose, which was to point out something that’s kind of weird about our culture. How many of you were happy just because you thought I was getting married, even though none of you knew who the guy was? And how many of you felt disappointed because it turns out, I’m still single? When I post something about the joys of being single I get people who question my happiness, or worse, tell me “don’t worry, you’ll find someone”, but when I post something about getting engaged (even though I haven’t said that I’m happy), I get over 50 likes and a ton of congratulations. What if I was marrying some abusive drunk or controlling psycho, would you still say that? Would you be happy just because I *finally* get to walk down the aisle?
I’m not condemning anyone, it’s just something for our society to think about. I myself question the fact that I click “like” on a friend’s engaged status when I have no idea if this guy is even treating her well, or vice versa. Should I be sending my congratulations, or would condolences be more appropriate?
Marriage does not always equal happiness. Statistics show that about half of all marriages end badly. So maybe an engagement/wedding ring shouldn’t be the end-all and be-all of a woman’s existence.
Don’t worry guys, if and when I do get engaged, I will let you know personally. You know, to warn you. To bring an umbrella outside. Because that, my friends, will be the day when pigs fly. *bows*
A round of applause, please, for my supporting cast: Kristine Nazaret-Komlosy (whose engagement ring this is and whose wedding I attended last November), my sister, Ria Redulla, and the few friends and family members who knew me well enough to know it was a joke. Haha!
I love you guys! Who needs a ring when you’ve already got the best circle you could ever hope to have? 🙂
