Something I Do

I like to think ahead. Way ahead. So one of the things I do after every first date that I go on is call a friend and tell that friend, “I just went out with the girl I’m going to marry.” Seriously. “Why?” you may ask. Well the answer is easy. This way I get HUGE bonus points if I actually do marry the girl. Picture this:

It is my rehearsal dinner night and I have asked said friend to be a groomsman in my wedding. As people go around and give speeches, friend stands up and says, “I remember when Chuff called me after his first date with _________ (insert bride’s name here). He told me, ‘Friend, I just went out with the girl I’m going to marry.’”

This will instantly set of an explosion of love for Chuff. There will be a resounding “Awwwwww,” throughout the dinner. Bride will give her bridesmaids a look that expresses “I can’t believe he said that. He is so amazing,” as she holds back tears of happiness. And finally, Bride’s mom will lean over to Bride’s dad and say “Isn’t Chuff wonderful?” As for me, I just bask in the love eruption that I have made for myself (I was thinking about wording this last sentence differently, but you get the point).

So you see, when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It just so happens that planning my glory is one of my favorite pastimes.
