Luann: "I can't wait to be a bridesmaid! Lemme see your ring again. It's so pretty!" Toni: "Isn't it? It was my great-grandmother's" Luann: "I thought you and Brad went ring shopping" Toni: "We did. We just couldn't decide. So, since we're firefighters, I suggested this. It's an Australian fire opal" Luann: "This is Australian, too! Hey, maybe I'm about to get engaged!!" Toni: "While you're still in high school? I hope not"
Got that right, Toni! I’ve seem far too many high school marriages end in divorce to recommend it. If the couple are mature, it can work, but too often they are not. And Luann, sad to say, is not.
Note the difference between this comic and the one from 4/6/2013:Luann is talking engagement. Toni is talking marriage.
One is talking about an exciting event to tell her friends about. The other is talking about a lifelong commitment to share with her husband. One says, “Maybe I’m about to be engaged”. The other says, “We’re getting married”.
The difference is subtle yet quite profound. Greg really knows what he is doing.
