Well, that is not the group of people with whom I would have expected to watch Runaway Bride. But then, they didn't watch it the way I watched it. And that I would have expected.
There's a comment on love I agree with in that movie. I don't want to love somebody who's necessarily right the first time. I'd appreciate it if she'd make her mistakes about leaving me before walking down the aisle, but they're forgivable if she comes back in time. So I guess I am going to have to remember to have a little patience if the love of my life ever decides to run away. But she'll have to be a little understanding of why that frightens me, now, in a way it wouldn't have a year or two ago. So long as she comes back within a short period of time and sweet talks me and tells me she didn't know what she was doing... well, I guess I could forgive her. There's a little Richard Gere in me, after all.
I am such a stupid, silly romantic. And movies make me cry. I teared up but did not shed. Then that damn Tim McGraw song, "Don't Take the Girl," came on the radio on my way home.
I'm a girl. I'm such a friggin' girl. I like that about me, and I want to find a girl that loves that about me. There are some things I don't ever want to apologize for. I'm a girl. I love country music. I walk around barefoot. And I am this passionate, sometimes stupid, person. It's who I am, and I wanted to be loved for it. I don't think that's too much to ask.
[Edit: Also, I hope that when I make my mistake and walk away from the love of my life, I'm smart enough to realize it quickly. I think 3 weeks is reasonable. Last time I was in love, that was too long. I think the love of my life will probably still be open to my return even if it takes me a couple weeks to apologize and say I was wrong. I know she will; I truly believe that with the love of my life, things will work out.]
