why i got engaged
Why I Got Engaged. Why I got engaged? There are many reasons. The main reason is because of Mariah the love of my life. I have been in love with her since I was about six years old. The moment I met her, I knew that she was the one who would change my life entirely; I would not give her up for the world. I always thought about her throughout the years, even though I had no idea how she felt about me. I had kept a little hope deep in my heart, mind, & soul that she did, I was right. Even when I had different girlfriends, I had her in my mind knowing she was better than every one of them. It took more than a decade for me to find that out that she did love me and realize that I must ask for her hand in marriage. I will do anything for her, for us. I could never see myself with any other girl. No other girl has given to me what she and I have; we have true love, honesty, and trust. I never thought I could have this with any other person. She made me do better in my life, she gave me the confidence to finally graduate high school and go to college; so I can get a good education and get a good job in the future. She made me stop doing drugs, and she kept me away from people that would influence me the wrong way. She kept me from going out to parties and hanging out till who knows when. I know she will always be there and help guide me on a better path when I need it. I never had another relationship like that except with my own mother. I had bad relationships in the past that all lead me in the wrong way. Most girls cheated on me, lied to me and just used me for their own gain, then hated me for something ridiculous then left me when I needed them most. I got bad things and horrible memories I don’t think I will ever be able to erase from my mind. One girl named Taylor had a boyfriend with cancer while being with me, she told me he was so horrible and constantly fights with her for no reason and is

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Why I Want A Wife

    In the 1970’s, the fight for women’s suffrage was a major highlighted impact amongst the nation as women everywhere fought for their equality with men. Within this time, women were considered to be obligated to take of the family and the home without any gratitude. Judy Brady effectively points this out to the readers of Ms. Magazine in 1972, where she publishes an article that opens eyes across the nation. In her article, “Why I Want a wife,” Brady uses techniques such as pathos to discuss her duties as a wife and to show the unfairness and inequality that her position upholds.…

    Why I Want a Husband

    I want a husband; I mean who wouldn't want a husband. A husband, by definition, is a man joined to a woman in marriage; a male spouse. Every girl grows up dreaming of the perfect husband, but when marriage comes knocking on their door, that special someone never seems to live up to that expectation. I've decided that by not expecting much from the beginning, I will not be disappointed in the end.…

    Why I Want a Wife

    Weddings are often a time of celebration, especially for my family. This past summer, as we prepared for my sister Gini’s wedding, the festivities extended to good-natured teasing of the bride- and groom-to-be. For example, WITH knowing smiles, my parents--self-proclaimed experts on marriage courtesy of their own wedding almost thirty years ago--dispensed advice about everything, including how to improve her cooking skills beyond instant rice and grilled cheese. Gini’s typical responses included "That was a long time ago," "Things are different now; times have changed," and "Jason can do a lot of things for himself."” It was with particular delight that my family took to rubbing in one of Jason’s smoother moves. He waited until a few short weeks before the wedding to inform Gini that his Mom had always done his ironing for him, and now he expected Gini to take over that task---after all, he couldn’t wear wrinkled clothes to his new job, could he? Poking fun at the responsibilities involved in marriage is similar to the attitude presented in Judy Brady’s 1971 essay, "Why I Want a Wife."…

    First Love

    I knew deep down inside that she was the one for me. After a while, I got the giggles and she gave me the most incredible smile. It took my breath away. I felt something I have never felt in my life before, what I believe to be true love. For my whole trip home we kept on looking at each other. I was a bit shy, so I kept looking away. When I got off the bus, I felt this emptiness inside. As the bus drove past me, she looked at me and smiled. It took my breath away and I felt that we were destined to be together. When I got home, I couldn't stop thinking about her. A week passed and I still remembered the way our eyes joined and the incredible smile she gave me.…

    I left my 3 year relationship (with someone whom being in a relationship with is against the views of the judgmental society) because I want to bring back the old self where my parents would be proud of. I also dont want my friends to get rid of me because I am not the person they thought me to be. Things were going smooth and I was already in the pace of going back to my old self. i got the chance to be with someone and spend my everday with her. That time I do not want to be in the face of falling for someone I am never certain of being with together in the long run, and by that I would always do my best to show her how much she meant to me, at the same time I was also in the pace of telling myself that what I an doing is not right. I also had the time and chance to move on because I was sent to a place where I could forget everything way back home. But through that "moving on" stage, someone came into the picture and made it more colorful. Someone who made me realize that being "me" is just fine. That being "someone unusual" to the judgmental society is being original and not fake. Everyday spent with this person made me realize that i should be true not only to the society but also to myself. And everyday with that person makes me love her even more. That even though i knew she has a relationship with someone way back home, I would take all the risk just to show her how happy I am to have met her. I knew that 3 months was short enough to conclude that I have fallen deeply in love with her, but to fall for her is the longest 3 month happiness I've felt. And now that weve gone separate ways, I would always be grateful for I have met her and that I have already given the promise I made to her: that is to come out of the closet and tell (maybe, not everyone) but my friends that I am gay. And I am so certain that these people, whatever happens, whoever I am and will be, will always be there for me. My second family. Now, to come out of the public takes all the guts…

    LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES

    I still remember the days when I was a little kid and she used to play with me. She used to go against my mom and give me junk food. She loved spoiling me. My mom never liked it but she didn’t dare stop her. She was also the only one that never said no to me. If I told her I wanted to eat a certain Indian food she’d start preparing it right away. If she was tired and I wanted to play hide and seek, she’d hide her tiredness and play with me. If I asked her for $5 she’d give me $10. She never disappointed me and I’ll appreciate that forever.…

    My Love Story-I Wrote.

    Once upon a time there was a 15 year old teenage girl, just a plain ordinary teenager with my own set of problems, my own way of life, my own ways of dealing with things, and a teenage girl searching for that romantic thing called love. Since the very first day of learning about this unique and amazing thing called love I had searched and searched for it, but it never seemed to find me. I always went for the people that showed me attention, the ones that all the popular people wanted and couldn’t have, the ones I knew I could easily get, but then one day a special girl came in to my life that impacted it more than anyone ever had. The girl was not popular, the girl didn’t show me any extra attention, and the girl didn’t even seem interested in me. For some reason though it seemed that this girl was the right one for me anyways. The way she didn’t show attention to me wanted me to do what it took to get her attention, the way she walked by me without saying a word made me want to pull her aside and carry on a whole conversation. I never knew that someone could do all this and yet I would do what it took to get him or her to be mine. So I stepped up and talked to her. Days went by, as we only became friends, even though I wanted to be more. Summer had ended so school was starting and I would see her down the hallways and after school, lucky me I even had a class with her. We seemed to get closer and hang…

    Aspirations

    For as long as I can recall I had always been afraid of aspiring for more than I had the ability to attain. This summer I met my future wife, I just didn’t know it yet. Although that is another story that was written on its own, but once we were in love and both accepted each other, we came to find that others did not agree with our decision. We thought our bond could overcome anything including their reproach, but, sooner than later, it began to come between us. Soon my life became a struggle to keep our love a secret from society. We didn’t want different treatment, because we were both still the same people we met and the same girls everyone else knew. I was afraid of losing her to the world. I began to consider my options. Let my love go and let society separate us or follow my intuition and just live my life the best way I knew how. I chose to live and love even though it was hard from the start. I began to love my girlfriend fearlessly. I began to fight for us and overcame my fear of the unknown and the contempt others may harbor towards us. Even though we had challenges to overcome and people to confront we both held fast to the opportunities that lay ahead. The glares and sly whispers from others only provided a reason to prove them wrong thus I grew more determined to be happy no matter what the circumstance. She gave me the confidence to not only pursue my goals but actually fulfill my potential academically and set ideals for my life. She allowed me to be whoever I wanted to be, without letting go of how I got there. She was the kind that let me embrace those internal contradictions that made up an entire oxymoronic, complex and complete human being. I learned that sometimes swimming against the current doesn’t always mean drowning, it sometimes means…

    Engagement

    A. Engagement is the last phase in a boy and girl relationship before they get married. This is set as soon as the couple pledges to get married. It is a stage where a man and a woman have already decided greater involvement and deeper attachment to each other. In Cebu, Philippines, after the courtship stage and the girl decides that she also would like to take the suitor's offer of love and commitment, then the girl will give her favorable answer to the suitor. At times it takes months before the answer is given. In the past, strict parents would sometimes give a series of tests, having the suitor do some chores like fetching some water from the well, cutting firewood to be used for cooking dinner, helping the father of the girl do some yard or farm work. Nowadays, a more modern approach is being performed by the suitor whereby he offers gentlemanly help to the parents, sometimes carrying groceries as he sees them walking down the streets, offering them a ride if he happens to be driving their way, doing other favors that can help win their favor and better his chances of getting the girl's love as well. In Cebu, engagements may take longer than a year, and then the date shall be set for marriage. When the couple gets to decide to get married, pamamanhikan takes place. It happens when the boy goes to the house of the girl and officially ask the girl’s hand in front of the family. Sometimes, an engagement party happens. It is a celebration planned by the couple for they have decided to be married. An engagement ring is given by the man to the woman, which symbolizes their preparedness for a marriage.…
