We all played the game. Probably at some point in college, you and a friend of the opposite sex agreed – “if we’re not married by the time we’re 40, we’ll get married to each other.” So, if you’re not married – you still stickin’ with that plan? If you are marry – spill it – who was your backup chute? If you don’t want to give full names, an approximation will be fine.

i myself did not ever play that particular game (can’t even remember being asked that). Honestly, i NEVER made ANY plans whatsoever to get or be married. in fact, as some of you may recall, i used to say “i am NEVER getting married and NEver having children” , since around 8 years old in campfiregirls meetings. i still feel the same. i hope everyone is happy (and authentic with themselves) with their decisions along those lines – i know i sure as shiat am.
Peace -

We all know who I was supposed to marry but he is MIA
No back-up plan, but I ended up with a great husband in the end!
Umm, I think I did marry her. We actually wanted to though, and we didn’t wait until 40, so I’m not sure that counts.
You first Steve…..
I think Linda (from Trinity) and I had that arrangement at one point (despite never dating each other), and that never would have worked out. Jenny (from Rivers Music) put a strangely specific age of 42 on it. But you don’t know either of them. So there. Now spill it Helber – along with the damned Birdie pics.
I made a pact with a guy in college to be his second wife. We’re both still on our first spouses. There was no deadline on it, though, so there’s still time. After all, Mr. Unpronounceable is 15 years older than I am and if you check the actuarial tables…tick…tick…tick…
Kris, I said the same thing about kids and have stuck to it as well. No regrets there.
Jeremy Weiner. I remember being really upset when he went to Spain for the whole of our Junior year: “Jer! We’re supposed to go to the prom!” We never actually talked about the marriage deal, but then we never actually talked about the prom deal, it was just a foregone conclusion.
Sigh.
In other news, NO, Marobella did NOT marry Plan B! I am Plan A all the way, baby, and don’t you forget it!
What, we’re 40 now, when the hell did that happen. I never planned it with anyone, as I just could not actually imagine being 40. Actually I couldn’t imagine being married while I was in school when most of these sort of trysts seem to happen… My god, I’m married with child! I knew a lot of people in school who made those deals. It always seemed a little weird. “I don’t really like you enough to see you now, but if I am still single 20years from now you will be O.K. then, It always seemed like some sort of strange brush off.
