Remember when you were young, and your perception of relationships were based on the actions of singing animals dressed in human clothing, brought to you by Disney? The formula was simple: Guy meets girl. Bad guy gets in the way. Guy gets bummed. Cutlery makes a song about it. Guy gets stoked. Guy defeats bad guy. Guy and girl fall in love. Guy and girl get married, and they're happy forever. It seemed easy enough at the time, right? Remember when you tried to apply these scenarios in real life? Green tights had the opposite effect of making you look cool. Your cheery love songs would only get the cops called on you. And there were no flying carpets, singing crabs, disgruntled dwarfs, OR meerkats with New York accents to help you look smooth. What gives? Could it be that we were all brainwashed, and love doesn't play out in real life like it does in cartoon movies?
There was a while there when I would've said yes to that question. That is until my good friends Aaron and Alisha started dating, and proved me wrong. DEAD WRONG. These two are like the modern day Romeo and Juliet. Uh...except for all the drama and suicides, and they don't talk like that either, and Alisha isn't 13, and their parents get alo...You know what? Forget that comparison. They fit together like a puzzle is what I'm trying to say. If anyone should ever be married, ever, it's these two. And as of Monday, they're that much closer. He popped the question to her, and do you know what she said? "OooOaaawwwwooooo!" accompanied by tearing up and vibrating across the floor...but eventually after the shaking had slowed down, an audible "Yes!" came out!
Congratulations you two! Now if you'll excuse me, there's a certain someone I've got my eye on, and I have to go brush up on my archery skills if I'm ever going to win her over.
