so soon?

"You're going to go meet your true love."
"Don't get married too quickly!"
"I bet you'll come back with a ring on your finger!"
"These things happen faster than you think. And when you least expect them."
"People tend to come out of that town with love stories...."

These are the kinds of things that I have been hearing from friends for the past couple weeks.
Insistent that I'm going to meet my true love since I moved.


Marriage

Do I want it?
yes

Do I think it's going to happen so soon?
no.

I think I still have a while before I meet the love of my life.
Or realize that someone I already know is the love of my life.
Either way, I'm okay with. I just think I still have a while.

Patience is needed, I'll admit.
But just the thought of marriage scares me just as much as I want it.
If not more.

So we'll wait. And see.
And I'll show you, that just because I moved to a small town does not by any means mean that I'm going to get married within the year.
