No surprises

Here’s a partial transcript from a conversation with my brother in law Adam.
(19:35:22) Adam: oh, and if you haven't seen Jennie's blog, she's engaged.
(20:02:21) fozz: heh.
(20:02:50) Adam: she's engaged and all you say is heh?
(20:03:03) Adam: Melissa said a little more than that
(20:03:04) fozz: Yeah. I guess.
(20:03:15) fozz: I mean, who's surprised?
Well, it’s true. According to Jennie’s online weblog entry, she and Dave have plans to tie the knot.
I really hope it works out well for them, but I couldn’t help but cringe inside when I learned about this. I advised both of them after they met each other to take things slow — they need not be in any kind of hurry. I don’t think I need to explain why; It’s common sense.
That said, I care a lot about both of these people because they are good friends of mine. I also think they make a good couple. I really hope they find a joyful life together. God knows they both deserve some joy after what they’ve been through individually with previous relationships.
I just don’t want to hear myself saying (or thinking), “I told you so,” sometime in the future.
