I’m supposed to be writing a piece about how getting engaged these days matters a lot more to our parents than to us, but the sorry truth is: I want to get engaged.
That likely isn’t a surprise to the people who know me. I’ve always been a romantic, a deep fan of romance novels and romantic comedies, and I’m now a romance author. I love love. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting that. With wanting partnership, and a companion, and marriage, and everything that comes with it. But it all gets a little more complicated when your parents want those things for you too.
