When a boyfriend and girlfriend decide to get married for sure, they get engaged. Sometimes, they have an engagement party. Sometimes, the man gives the woman a diamond ring to wear on the same finger as the future wedding ring. In Canada, we also have a saying: If you want to know what a woman will look like in the future, look at her mother. Do you think this is true? A: Hi, I hear your girlfriend and you are going to get married. Is that true? B: I love her and she loves me. We’re planning to get engaged next week. A: Are you sure about this? You’ve only been dating for two months. B: Yes, but she’s the girl of my dreams. A: Every time you go out together, you have to foot the bill. B: That’s only natural, I’m the man. A: Yes, but I saw you in the coffee shop last week. You had to wait on her hand and foot, bringing her anything she needed. B: That’s a man’s job, too. A: Do you want to do that forever? B: I’m happy to take care of my sweetheart. A: Yes, but she’s very headstrong. She has to be the boss. Two weeks ago, you wanted to meet us, but she put her foot down and made you go out with her, instead. She’s very hard-headed. B: Yes, she’s a little stubborn, but that’s cute. A: And, when she’s in a bad mood, you have to walk on eggshells. You told me she threw a plate of food at you when you smiled at a waitress. |
