You are absolutely right abou...Thanks from me, too! <BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right about "When Harry Met Sally". The part I think that is completely authentic is Harry's speech at the end. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start right now, and what do you mean, "waiting period", Father O'Such-and-Such?<BR/><BR/>When I married my first husband (I was a child bride, etc.), his more sentimental friends sighed that it was like "When Harry Met Sally." We had been Friends, and I was happy being Just Friends, and I argued for being Just Friends until he had managed to, basically, browbeat me into being More Than Friends. (Alas, I had no spine.)<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, that was long enough ago that I can enjoy WHMS again and sigh, not over the "best friends becoming lovers" stuff, but over Billy Crystal's ending speech.<BR/><BR/>For the record, not only were B.A. and I not best friends, we knew we were meant to get married within ten days of laying eyes on each other. And on three of those days we went to Mass. So you know, I am thinking that knowing each other for ten years as great adult friends without getting married is not such a great indication that you will be getting married to each other in future.Seraphic Singlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161836752822561316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960565.post-49620358879064390792008-11-20T09:53:00.000-05:002008-11-20T09:53:00.000-05:00Thank you for your kind congrats and links, SS.BªThank you for your kind congrats and links, SS.<BR/><BR/>BªAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
