magikyul in England asks how we met, how we fell in love,
and any funny stories that happening while we were dating.
Oh boy. OH BOY!
Ok well we met in our third year of university at the University of Toronto (REPRESENT!)
in a Romantic Poetry and Prose class.
Except it was like Romantic with a Big R,
which means the Romantic Era, which is totally depressing.
And I remember when I first saw Martina in that class
Like, I was instantly drawn to her, cuz she was still in her Rock and Gothy stage,
Ohh I'm embarrassed!
She had lightning bolt earrings and she had chains on all over her pants,
and she had her hair slicked back and I thought
MAN THAT GIRL IS HAWT! ANG!
Is that what you did? You were Korean?
Well, I didn't ANG at her, but I did Ang in my mind.
And I remember we were having a discussion about a poem
that had a ruined castle in it
OH NO THIS IS EMBARRASSING!
And Martina raised her hand and she said that it reminded her
of a scene of Lord of the Rings, and, at that moment I knew…
…this is the woman for me. OH YEAH!
So embarrassing!
But it was that really amazing scene with Gandalf
when he's fighting the Balrog
and he was like YOU SHALL NOT PASS
and he puts it in and he's like pew pew pew pew pew
But, anyways, I thought that Martina was really hot
and I really wanted to get with her,
But I had a boyfriend!
womp womp womp womp
Super womb womb womb. And I didn't notice Simon at all!
WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP!
Sorry Honey Bunny! You weren't my Honey Bunny yet,
At the time, though, I didn't know that she had a boyfriend,
so I started talking to her in class and after class
and tried to be friends with her
and then we had a quiz coming up for that class,
so I decided - since I knew her last name -
that I would find her phone number in the phone book.
Because that's what phone books are for.
Wow, pretty amazing, right?
I know! And luckily, Martina's last name isn't very popular,
so there are only three entries in the phone book for it,
and I called it, and the first one was a great success,
HUZZAH!
Ok so I picked up the phone, Hello?
Hi, this is Simon from your Romantic Poetry and Prose class,
Oh, hey Simon! [HOW DID HE GET MY NUMBER?!]
[SMOOTH!]
Anyhow, since we have a quiz coming up,
I was wondering if you wanted to get together
and study for it at the library,
[VERY SMOOTH]
[Oh, well, I have a boyfriend, but Simon is really smart]
[and he wants to meet at the library, so he probably can't be interested in me]
Yeah, ok, sounds great! Let's meet up and study!
[I didn't hear her whisper into the phone that she had a boyfriend. That's ok]
Smooth
[I MEAN DAMN! DID I SAY SMOOTH OUT LOUD IN THE PHONE?!]
OH NO HANG UP AHHHH!
Anyhow, we wound up meeting at the library afterwards
and we did a lot of studying and talking,
and turns out that that's when she told me that she had a boyfriend,
AY HOO!
Forever alone,
We wound up becoming very good friends instead,
So we were just really close friends for that year
and then by the end of the year
I tried to hook Simon up with one of my friends
And, huh, sorry about that
And when I tried to hook him up with one of my friends
my friend was interested in two guys, Simon and another guy
and I got really upset cuz I'm like
"Simon's this really great guy! He's so smart and he's so nice!
and he's so awesome and he's so sexy!"
I didn't say that [but I thought it]
Anyways, I said all these great things about Simon,
and then I realized, oh oh: I think I have a crush on Simon.
SMOOTH
So then I decided that it's probably about time
that I break up with my boyfriend
if i have a crush on another guy.
So then I ended things with my boyfriend,
and soon afterwards Simon and I started dating.
HUZZAH!
But, it was kind of a secret, because we were originally friends,
so we didn't want to weird out our friend group
by suddenly becoming a couple.
So because we were keeping this a secret from our friends
a lot of funny situations came about from it,
and our favourite funny moment happened when we were at our friend's loft.
!!! OH YAH! Ok so,
we were really competitive when we started dating,
So we were all in the same room together,
and our friends went downstairs to the kitchen to get some food,
So Simon and I got in this, like, tickle fight,
except we couldn't laugh out loud,
because then our friends would be suspicious like "what's going on up there?"
So we were trying to be quiet, but we were tickling each other,
so it looked like this [AWKWARD SILENT GIGGLES]
And then the couch exploded.
We totally broke the couch.
It was a…it didn't totally explode,
it's the leg that kind of snapped off,
So we were like "OMG How can we possibly explain this?"
So we wound up propping it up with the broken leg underneath,
so that it stood up, but barely, but we didn't sit on it afterwards,
We just separated and went back to reading books
as if nothing happened like this
[pretentious music and faux-pretentious lines]
Our friends came back upstairs and jumped to sit on the couch,
and the couch imploded.
And our reactions were like
OMG! OH NOEZ! WHAT HAPPENED?!
What's going on? That's too bad.
Why would you break that? You guys are reckless!
Jumping on that couch! Jeez!
Anyhow, two months into dating we knew that we were gonna get married to one another
It was, like, 100% sure.
So what wound up doing so that we didn't freak everybody out
instead of proposing right away we got two promise rings
and we wore them on our pinky fingers
So with those promise rings we knew that we would actually change them into our wedding band
and these are actually, this bottom one here:
this is our promise ring, yeah.
This is it.
and it was on this finger here and we had it resized to be our wedding band.
Now what's really special about these is that
combined, both of our wedding bands costs only $300.
They don't have to cost a lot of money because
all that matters is the actual fact that we know what these mean.
It's not the worth of them, it's the specialness of them.
Ok, way to sound like a card Simon,
shut up SHUT UP!
I'm sentimental!
Yes you are honey bunny!
Anyways, Simon had an amazing proposal planned for me
He completely surprised me. It was epic.
However: I don't believe that was part of the question.
Did you read that in the question?
No. Sorry guise!
It's over!
GONG!
Intoxicatingly sexy music!
