Frozen Pizza, Throwing Up, and Engaged Couples

I think that all engaged couples need to go through a really embarrassing situation before getting married. Why do I say this? Well there are some things in marriage that are just embarrassing, I mean the person sees you on your best and worst days, they might do your laundry at some point,, they get to learn all the gross things about you, they learn to live with your disgusting eating habits, lack of sanitation, and well you in general. I am convinced that all engaged couples need that one experience to reveal that hidden less than pleasant side. People should know what they are getting themselves into.

Before Brian and I got married we had one of those experiences, which might be why I think everyone needs one. Let me share, one night when we were engaged Brian and I decided to make dinner at his apartment. Make dinner is a relative term, one night when Brian and I were engaged we decided to boil tortellini and bake a frozen pizza for dinner. We did all this at his apartment… which was a disgusting place, they had a pet, never emptied the trash, and waiting until there were 0 dishes before considering washing anything, so that should have been our first indication that even microwaving there was not a good idea. So we ate our dinner, and then went to watch a movie  in the basement of his apartment complex (this must not have been a school night), as we were watching the movie my stomach started to feel weird, I thought it would go away but I was wrong, I ended up running for the door to go throw up outsides, but sadly Brian got in my way as I was opening the door and I threw up all over him. This is one of my most embarrassing moments (I say most because I am sure more will come up eventually). He took it pretty well, I mean he didn’t scream like I would if he threw up on me, Even though this situation was disgusting to put it mildly I think it was a little bit helpful… I am pretty sure that nothing that gross has come up since then (Brian if something has pretend you don’t remember)

So the point of that story, he knew what he was getting into, there is something about throwing up that makes everyone look awful, makes everyone lose their tempers, and well shows that nasty side of you. So I remain convinced all engaged couples need that beautiful moment of revelation before tying the know, I would suggest however that it involves a little less cleaning vomit off the floor.

*sorry if this post was too graphic for anyone, it did say “throw up” in the title so you knew it was coming.
