Broke Off Engagement?

[kstar]

My current boyfriend and ex-fiance broke off our engagement a few years ago on St. Valentine's Day. He was panicking because two of his best friends were getting divorced and another was breaking up with his long time girlfriend. (It didn't help that he was in the middle of his first year of law school.) We were in the very early planning stages and hadn't even agreed on a place or date yet.

It took him about 3 months to calm down and realize the mistake, but it took me about 6 months to forgive him and another 3 before I would agree to date him again.

Brutal!

He's a lucky man.

Two of my friends met at my wedding. One of them was engaged at the time, but her fiance bailed on my wedding to go to a hockey game. Four months later my engaged friend was no longer engaged and a couple months after that I set my two friends up. Now they have two kids (neither one was named for me even though I really think I should have had naming rights). They did dedicate a song to my husband and I at their wedding, though.

I do know that she lost a bundle on the non-wedding, but it's a small price to pay for happiness.
