The Ring
My fiance had quite the questionably fabulous moment this weekend. Very questionably.
As our Matron of Honor and I laid on the beach, my fiance, our officiant and one of our close friends played latter golf on the sand right next to us. Engrossed in our books and the wonderfully relaxing scene, our MOH and I opted to stay down on the beach when the guys trotted off in search of a libation which they said they’d retrieve for us as well and would be back shortly.
Shortly turned into over an hour and a half and so our MOH and I packed up our belongings, set them safely aside, grabbed the valuables and went to join the guys at the bar – which is where, we assumed, they’d been side tracked.
My insecurities filled me with suspicion… But trying to have faith in the men I wandered up to the boardwalk expecting to see them a little intoxicated and enjoying the live music.
We immediately saw the boys, huddled in front of the stage with several empty cups in front of them. Our friend giggled and waved when he saw me and nudged our officiant who also waved and nudged my fiance. As my eyes scanned from left to right, following the nudging I smiled and waved back as did my MOH. What was the problem? My fiance did not acknowledge us.
He didn’t see waive at us cause he didn’t see us. Why didn’t he see us? Cause he was far too focused on speaking with the two blonds to his right.
In fact, he was so preoccupied that he didn’t notice me walking by them to get a beer and then standing behind him after I had my drink in hand.
Claiming to be acting as “wing man” for our single friend a teasing banter ensued with all fingers pointed directly at my fiance. Clearly this was making the girls uncomfortable as they both were sure to reach out and touch my fiance prior to departure asking him if he could save their seats so they could come back and continue their chat.
All of this leads me to something I’ve thought of before… Why don’t guys wear engagement rings? If I were at a bar and a guy approached me he’d quickly see that I was taken from the rock on my finger. But my fiance still appears as single as any other eligible bachelor due to the empty ring finger.
I feel the urge to say that I totally trust him and have no doubts of him cheating on me. But I think that other gals might agree, I still don’t want skanky beach whores hitting on my man. Because the truth is, I was one of those skanky beach whores before I met my fiance – and I definitelly don’t two of me flirting with him!
