Crazy in love
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At my cousin Robert’s dress rehearsal dinner last Thursday, my uncle stood up and talked a little bit about my cousin and how much he was in love with his fiancée.
During his speech, he mentioned that when Robert first met his girlfriend, she was a smoker. Apparently, he cared about her so much that he went on a hunger strike until she quit for good! And of course, not wanting him to starve himself, she quit smoking.
A hunger strike! When I heard this I couldn’t help but smile. That’s just the kinda guy my cousin is. But sometimes people just bring out the zany parts of us. Sometimes even the most docile of us do silly, crazy or weird things we are in like/in love.
I don’t know that I’ve ever done anything that could be qualified as clinically insane, but one of my boyfriends once arranged for us to have a picnic in a tree. It was probably one of the silliest lunches I’ve ever had, and it made me laugh to feel like a kid. (The same boyfriend later took me on dates that included fountain-hopping and playing in a sandbox. We probably had the best time for the least amount of money!)
Similarly, it seems like marriage proposals (and prom proposals, for goodness’ sake!) are becoming more and more outlandish.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done or witnessed in a relationship? If you’ve never done anything that silly, what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard of?
