1+1
I actually only know 4 couples that I would utter shock at if they spit up. 3 of them are family members and one is 'chosen family' .
My brother Hugh has very recently become engaged. As one this family is delighted (ooo I sound like the Queen) with his choice. She is utterly fantasitc. Funny, intelligent, sparky, thoughtful and someone who 'fits'... not just my brother, but it seems nearly every situation she is in. I have watched her and its a talent I wish I had!
The whole saga of being 'engaged' for them now starts. The choices and decision making about when where and who. They both have big families and so are bound to feel like they have to please other people in these decisions and choices. I hope that they dont forget that they are meant to enjoy this process. That it is meant to be fun. .. and it is, although it doesnt always feel like it!
So, another strong woman joins this family. ... there are alot of us!! Actually, thinking about the couples I know that are bound together forever thats the comman denominator. They all have strong women at their heart, the men, who are all very dear to me and all have charactoristics that I both admire and love, all have strong women to stand beside. And, as Hugh is marrying a woman who not only knows her own mind but has the courage to stand by its convictions this, I think, bodes well for the future. Grin.
