Diamond dust and a shoe string...

The human imagination is a thing of wonder. I'm not sure that it would beat the speed of light, but it's definitely quicker than the speed of sound. You see, in all the time it takes to say hello, it is quite possible for a person to have gone from thinking, "Oh! This person seems alright." To, "We will have a big wedding with no fewer than 5000 guests and Burna Boy's On The Low, will be the song we use to enter the wedding reception." This is why matrimony is just as lovely as it is terrible. When a thing has been imagined and analysed with such frequency, it is quite frankly impossible for reality to match it.

This is the problem one nameless user of Beyonce's internet finds herself faced with. After spending 8 years dating the same man, and the last 3 years talking about marriage, her big day arrived. He proposed. But to put it mildly, even by my basic standards, the proposal was sub par.

The thing might as well be a piece of string. And the worst thing isn't the fact that the diamond is essentially diamond dust it's that it looks hideous on her finger. But be that as it may, I think the pairing will be successful. He gave her an insulting ring, and she trashed him all the way from Seattle to Sydney. It's a match made in heaven.

Happy Days,
Afam.
