and i'm the one who's single, vol. 3

I promise this is the last one in the series, at least for a while.

I was at a friend's event recently and was making small talk with his friends. Here is the conversation that ensued with his friend who makes a living as a project manager (this detail is important for later):

Me: How has your summer been?

PM: Really stressful. My boyfriend and I are planning our wedding. It's so much work.

Me: Oh, are you getting married this year?

PM: No, next year.

Me: So it's a big wedding, then?

PM: Nope, it's just my boyfriend and me. We're eloping.

Me: Oh, so you're having a destination wedding. Where are you going?

PM: Oh, nowhere. We're getting married at City Hall.

Me [trying very hard not to sound bitchy]: So you're a project manager, and you're stressed out about a wedding next year with just the two of you at City Hall?

PM: Wow, you sound a lot like my boyfriend. Last week I had a melt-down over the wedding and he said almost those exact same words.

OK, you know where I'm going with this: that chick is getting married, and I'm still single?

Good times over here.

Hmmm.

She could either be disappointed in the type of wedding, or nervous about commiting to Mr. Wright.

Enjoy.


Now I must go project manage my way to the shower. I just hope the hot water will be delivered on time, the soap is staged, the shampoo is ready, the razor lined up, and that everything comes together for a successful washing.

🤔 DO SLAGS LIKE YOU GET MARRIED--NO NEED FOR AN ORGAN AT YOUR WEDDING AS YOU HAVE ALREADY HAD IT (LOL) 🤐
