Marriage

What is marriage to you?
At what circumstances will you get married?

Here are three real life stories that I heard from different people today:

Far from imagination
This is a story of my lecturer's friend.
She is a pretty girl, smart, got a job with high salary.
She met a guy online and kept contact with him for 2 years.
They were in different parts of the same country.
The guy understood her so well and their relationship went very well too.
One day, the girl decided to invite the guy to visit her.
so the guy went all the way from his home town to her places, took him 6 - 7 hours drive.
It was a weekend..
The guy knocked on the door.. the girl opened it...
She was shocked... the guy was a 300+ pound guy that people usually use the word "white trash" to describe him..
The girl's mother was even shocked.
But she still went for dinner with him and let him stayed for the weekend.
Her mother expected her to end the relationship as everyone else did..
but... she didn't.
She continued dating with him.. and he moved to the town where the girl lived.
Becoz of the relationship, the guy lost half of his weight, got a job.. everything went well..
but somehow the girl suffered.. her life went down hill..

they broke up at the end..

Online proposal
This is another girl's story.
She is a Korean girl. Once she went to Canada to study.
And she met an exchange student from Singapore.
They met only once in Canada and after that they keep contact using only emails.
One day..
the guy proposed to her through email.. and she accepted.
she flew from Canada to Singapore just a few days before their wedding..
and that was the second time this couple met each other.
They live happliy ever after.

Engagement before seperating
This is my friend's story, told by another friend.
She is a Chinese who has been studying in Singapore for quite a few years.
She met an exchange student from Canada last semester and eventually fell in love with each other.
The guy is going back to Canada soon and the girl will be heading to France for exchange this Decemeber.
And.. they are going to have their engagement before they have to be apart.


Life is so interesting.
When will you and how will you be married??
Have you ever thought about that?
