The same people who talked a lot about my life and made a big deal that I was not agreein to any proposal… and who drove my parents crazy with worry, by blatantly lookin upon me as though I was a curse to my family… the very same people, who almost made me break the 5th commandment, by perputually harping ’bout my attitude and giving me long winded lectures on how to not expect a dazzling knight on a unicorn… have suddenly turned wise and all proverby. They were spewing forth all divine proverbs about things occuring at the right time and God having a specific plan for everybody… funny, they did not realise this when they were ruining my peace with the parents. Guess there is more chance of me seeing a unicorn than of these folks …. ever changing. Anyway, told folks ’bout Tonio/Tony and this is what they had to say…
Mother (Sr. Magdalene): Ohhhh! He’s got a Shakespearean name, I already like him! (yeah, gotta admit the name is nice…)
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February…
Anju: Its your weddin… of course it is a big deal!!!
Naitra : Any Italian origin?
Abid: gud luck ma ..god will bless u
Nitya: Remember you are the smartest one… keep it that way.
Shil: When is the wedding? Keep it in February…
Jude: Good for you! (he genuinely meant it, though it sounded funny.)
Anyway, this is what another very nice friend of mine had to say

Joshua: IF i get married, it will be this year….
Me: Why, what’s wrong with next year?
Joshua: Then it will be with a different girl…
Spiderman: Make sure and then commit… find out everythin now… (he surprisingly made a lot of sense, guess all the swingin from web to web, gives him a lot of time to think.)

Zayeem: Karen’s gettin married… wow!
