After completing my super intense Political Problems of Transition exam, I decided to treat myself to a chocolate cigsa. I then sat outside my Econ classroom, where I had a few extra minutes, and checked my email. I got one from my mom who responded to an earlier rant I’d sent her but then closed with a post scrip of: “OH and PS I forgot to tell you the announcement at yesterdays dinner was Chris and Dana got engaged (ring and all) Friday at the Biltmore House. YEA!!!”
I cannot describe how stunned I was at reading that except by saying that my jaw literally dropped. A moment later, Chris here walked by and asked how I was and I stupidly, still confused, blurted out my cousin got engaged. He said, “Oh, congratulations!” And I answered, “Yeah.” As I hadn’t mentally processed to that point yet.
I’m not surprised that it happened. They’ve been dating seriously for quite a while, and Dana is perfectly lovely, they work very well together. I was just so stunned to receive the news right then.
After my last class I proceeded to the Spar to get champagne!
And just a reminder, Congratulations are for the groom; best wishes are for the bride. (Thanks to Emily Post, and Emily Gilmore)
