So It is a sad day. I'm no longer engaged. :( My wedding isn't going to happen and my life is in ruins.
My 'Safety' has gotten married.

This lovely lady, pictured with her dad above is one Renee Harvey (well actually Renee Davey). Renee and I pretty lived out of each others lives for the first 10-15 years as we went to the same kindergarten, same primary school, same high school as well as the same church. So 6 out of 7 days a week, we were quite inseparable (even to our own displeasure ??? haha)
So because of this we had the never ending questions about if we liked each other, if we'd eventually get married, all those questions that people ask stupidly. but through it all, we always joked that if we ever got old and were still single, we'd get married. We'd be each others 'Safety'.
But oh well, on 18th of March 2006 I find myself 'Safety'less. Nay (as I affectionately called her) got married to a great guy called Michael and was looking thoroughly beautiful and happy during her wedding. If your reading Nay, my prayers are with you and hope you will be blessed abundantly for the rest of your life.
Me now, haha have to find another 'Safety'. Now I know I'm not alone in this endeavour. So has anyone out there got any 'Safety' Stories? About the random person they will marry if stuff doesn't work out??
PS: Yeah I know my blog title isn't the usual witty (???) take on the topic, but its one of my fav new sayings. Seriously... It's what's for dinner!!!

Yah, I've had two safetys...and they've both gotton married. I guess it just means I'm destined to die alone lol...or maybe that I should just stop trying to have a back up plan and just trust it to God..?? Hmm..
Pray tell Matt...what exactly is for dinner? haha :P

The @ said...
That would be 'gotten' rather than 'gotton' now wouldn't it Es???
and bringing God into it how can he help? :P But very true
Oh and for all those out there wondering, Renee isn't who I was talking about in my
'Witty Blog Name' blog. Sorry Lis
and whats for dinner? whatever is important to you :P

This is so weird. I've come across your blog via someone elses, and after looking through it there all these people in your pictures that I swear I know. I live in London,England but am from Ontario and in your pics I've seen Sarah Eldridge from Melbourne, Trevor Gay from Chatham, and Amy Fisher from Belleville. All of who I know in the most random ways...the salvo world must be mega small...or I'm trippin...

I have a safety. This guy asked me out in Grade 7. I said no but we were like, best friends. So we decided that 27 was the safety age. It was truly "My Best friends Wedding" the other day though, we lost contact a loooong time ago, but I got an email from him (he's tracked me down through the joys of the web...) saying Hi and "Are ya married yet?" He was a gem.
And for the real clincher... (and yes, I tell many people this... although it was a MUCH cooler claim to fame in Year 7), he was the little David Helfgott in the movie 'Shine'. It was a truly surreal night the night I was watching Geoffrey Rush's Oscar speech for his role, and he thanked Noah and 'Alex'. That's right Matty, my safety has been thanks in an Oscars speech!

Hey Matt, just wanted to say hello, hope all is well back in the homelands...lol.
I never had a safety really....but then I guess it doesn't matter anymore.
