I think I… wanna get married sooner… than 2027…
You do?
Yeah… like I wanna get married TODAY. I want to legally marry you TODAY.
You’re not even in Australia right now…
That doesn’t mean that I don’t want it. I want it TODAY.
Okay, well, that’s not happening… so…
This year? Can we get married this year?
I don’t know? Isn’t that a question you have to ask yourself with your schedule?!
What if it’s… second half… of 2025…?
Okay…? I guess so… I mean, you know that we have to register —
One month ahead. Yes. Minimum one month ahead. I can be there to register and then I can be there for the real thing. Yes. Courthouse. Let’s do it. Just us. Low key. We don’t even need any witnesses. 2027 will be the circus but I want us to get married in the Courthouse this year.
You need a minimum of two witnesses, both of which have to be Australian citizens.
Oh… okay. We will have two witnesses, and they will both be Australian citizens. — Do you know of anyone?
I can think of a couple of Taiwanese friends…
Okay. So let’s get married at the Courthouse, a couple of Taiwanese-Australian friends who will be our witnesses.
Don’t you want to invite Older Brother?
Why?!
Well… it’s still a real… thing… we’re getting LEGALLY married?! Like… I think I would also want my Mum, my brother and sister-in-law…
Your Dad?
I think he’ll be okay as long as we tell him about it beforehand. He doesn’t need to be there for a courthouse signing of papers. But I think my Mum would… really want to be there. And my brother and sister-in-law just there in general for emotional support… for her…
Oh. Okay… so it’ll be us, a couple of Taiwanese friends, my older brother, your older brother and sis-in-law. THAT’S IT. I don’t want anybody else. We don’t even need photos. Just sign the papers.
Okay — I’m sure the Taiwanese friends can take some photos.
NO PHOTOS.
On a disposable camera?!
Okay. One polaroid. That’s it.
I don’t know if it’ll actually be Polaroid, technically, but sure something along the lines of a Polaroid…
What day do you want?
I don’t know…?
What month?
I… don’t know…? You haven’t even properly proposed!!!
Do you need it? Do you need a proper proposal?
No, not really… it would’ve been nice, but… no, I guess not…
Let’s do… September.
September Courthouse?
Yes. September… I’m thinking… 26th September? It’s a Friday.
Oh… not 26th…
You don’t like that number?
No… Maybe… maybe the 19th?
19th September 2025. Let’s do it.
Ummmm… that means you’ll have to register some time…
Before 19th August. Yes, we can do that.
Are you sure?!
YES!!!
Okay…?
Okay?!?!!
(Nodding) I guess so?! This is a fictional blog?! Anything is possible…? I feel like someone else’s birthday is 19th September…
Who?
I’m not sure… we don’t really keep in touch anymore…
Does it matter? Does it really matter if we get a courthouse signing on that person’s birthday?
No. I suppose it doesn’t really matter…
Who the fuck is this person?!
Just another family friend… Taiwanese… they own a luxury apartment in Surfers… their family… created some video games… in the early 90s?
WHAT?!?!?!?!
(LOLOLOLOOL)…
Taiwanese family that created video games in the early 90s…?!
Yeah… have you heard of… Atari?
(Googling) — Oh, they were the manufacturer?
I don’t know all the specific details… some sort of connection to Atari…
And these are family friends of YOURS?!
We don’t really keep in touch anymore. We can get married on that day. Also I’m not even sure if it’s that day that’s their birthday. We can get married on that day. Courthouse married. No problem…
Is there something else you want to tell me about this person?
Umm… they were once good friends with my brother… so they were like a brother friend, to me…
A “brother friend” — ?
Yeah. Just a brother friend.
I WANT TO GET MARRIED TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LIKE TODAY. CAN WE DO IT TODAY?!?!? NOW?!?!?!!?
(Chuckles) Yes, darling… at least, we know emotionally, we are already married. Okay, you want the legal papers signed and everything… September 19th… 2025… this year…
Yes please.
I think… you’ll need to give my mother three months’ notice… you need to give the government one months’ notice but my mother — three months’ notice.
Three months’ notice for Mum. Okay…
Yeah, just so it’s not such a HUGE SHOCK to her system… like… it’s gonna be a lot…
We’ll tell Mum before June 19th.
Okay… Australians usually do the day before the month, you’re still thinking about dates like an American… it’s 19th of June, not June 19th…
We’ll tell Mum before the 19th of June. I promise.
I don’t even know if that’s possible. I don’t even know how you’re going to just suddenly show up… it doesn’t make any sense to me right now!!!
(Smirk)
You’re planning something…
(Smirks and giggles)
Okay, anyways… I gotta go get ready for work…
