Baby, did you eat?
Yes, darling… I finished work, came home… heated up some prawn dumplings…
You like prawn dumplings?
I like — all sorts of dumplings. But yes, I had a packet of prawn dumplings and I heated some up after work. I ate a lot of calories.
GOOD! Eat LOTS of calories. I’m glad.
(Chuckles) But… I want to lose weight for our wedding.
NO! You don’t need to.
No but I really have a goal. I’m going to do it more seriously from the second half of 2026 if our wedding is in May 2027.
(Shaking his head, almost pounding his fists) No, you DON’T NEED to LOSE WEIGHT for our wedding!!! NOOOOO!!!
We’re going to continue this discussion another day. I definitely want to get down to a size 12, or at least 14 for our wedding. Hopefully 12. I don’t want to be a size 16 bride.
Are you hearing yourself?! There’s NOTHING WRONG with size 16 beauties!!!
I know… I agree… objectively… but there’s something else in me… I want to at least try. If I try and I don’t lose any weight at all — fine. I’ll be comfortable in my own skin, on our wedding day, as a size 16. But if I didn’t even try — I’m not happy with that. I want to at least try. See if I get to size 14… then size 12… I’m stopping at 12. I don’t think it’s realistic for me to attempt size 10, let alone 8 — the actual size I was when we met.
You’ve doubled… (grinning)… I like THIS YOU better!!!
I’m not going to keep arguing with you about this today.
Okay… what else did you eat? Other than hargow?
I had some watermelon…
(Breaks into song) “Watermelon sugar, high! Watermelon sugar, high!”
You’re not Harry Styles, my love…
(Giggles) That song reminds me of you…
(Sigh)… No comment.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……………..
I’m not adding it to my “100 Love Songs” list —
Why not?!?!?!
I don’t think… that song is about… “love” — HAHAHAHAHAH…
(Wide-eyed) It is ABSOLUTELY about LOVE!!!
Okay, well… we can agree to disagree on some songs…
(Breaks into full song…)
(It’s not a good time to interrupt him when he breaks into full song… give him his artistic ego…)
(Song finally finishes)…
Can we go back to talking about prawn dumplings?
Okay?! What about them?
Did you know… my sister-in-law’s side of the family used to be the suppliers of prawns to a major grocery chain in Australia?
Oh really?! Which one?
Used to be. Not anymore. After they had kids, they decided, “This is a lot of work to farm prawns!” So then they stopped…
Okay… (Chuckles) What was the point of that story?
No point. Just some extra information about my sister-in-law when you meet her one day.
(Nodding) Okay. Cool. Prawn farmers…
USED to be… Not anymore…
(Smiles)
What?
I actually have no idea if this is fiction? Exaggeration? — Whether the “used to be part” is you being cheeky and they’re STILL prawn farmers?! And which major grocery chain?! You still haven’t answered that question. And, what am I supposed to do with this information?!?!!?
NOTHING!!! (LOL)
Do you want hargow at our wedding?
Maybe… Yeah, actually that’ll be nice. As one of the 12-courses… it’ll have to be for the meat eating tables only though. You can get mock meat for the Vegetarian tables?
(Nodding) Leave it with me… I love you, my boo… xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
