So of course, I told my other lover, and he didn't tell his. Fuckwit.
Otto's response was quite calm, however. He didn't seem pissed or jealous at all. He just suggested we use his kewl minister to perform the necessary rite. I like her but I don't know her: would she be up for an elopement? That's basically what I want to do, though I see the wisdom in perhaps telling my parents only a week or two (or month or two) afterwards. I really don't want a celebration, they are about as poor as I am right now. Besides, I want a party that lots of my friends could afford to go to. It's gonna take 3 or 4 years for some of them to find grown-up jobs that pay above subsistence.
I also want to note that I was much, much more anxious about the actual proposal than I gave myself credit for. I had pretty severe diarrhea for about two weeks leading up to June 25. For about 48 hours before, my skin broke out in a yucky rash. I shudder to think what else woulda happened if I waited longer to do it. I'm glad I did it. I'm relieved that's over. I wish he'd give me an answer soon. I love him so much.
