It's funny because I work in a jewelry store where I spend a lot of time with customers. I see a wide variety of couples...some so young they're still in high school, some years apart in age and others that are so old you wouldn't suspect them being there to look at engagement rings...but they are.
I guess sometimes I feel the wedding bells chime - in place of biological clock - and wonder when my big day will come. It's hard to put into perspective when people tell me I have so much time and then think to how my mom just had me after she was MY age -21.
I feel that romance is lost and that people hurt people too much for me to believe in long lasting love...although I'm the fighting type that won't give up on a relationship til it's outta my hands. I do not believe in love at first sight anymore, and I definately do not believe that there is just ONE person meant for me...I believe there are many.
OH, and another odd thing...
I see so many couples come into my store...couples my age or a little older...wanting outrageously priced rings. It's so funny because there are these college kids wanting to spend a fortune on their rings and then there are 40 something couples wanting to just upgrade their old wedding sets for the same price...difference is they've been married 20 some years before getting their rocks.
I JUST DON'T GET IT.
