And then they lived happily ever after!!!!!!!

July 17, 2012

I, unfortunately, do not make millions and I do not provide a service only available to millionaires but I may have a better track record than the Million Dollar Matchmaker or whoever she is. It started out slowly. I had a friend, Adam had a friend, we introduced them…years later they are married with one kid and one kid on the way. Success. Then there was my friend from high school that I set up with my friend from college. Now married with two canines and a mortgage. Success.

Then there’s my greatest success story to date. It’s my greatest because it was the most unlikely. First there was my amazing friend who is beautiful, smart and single. But then came the search for her better half. I came across an awesome, adorable guy who I instantly thought was perfect for her. Specifically perfect for her! But I didn’t know the guy and some would even say it was probably inappropriate for me to even broach the topic with him. What now?

Since I’m as sly as private detective, as smooth as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery in Entrapment or as strategic as Brad Pitt and George Clooney in Oceans Eleven, I was able to pull it off. After months of building on our casual engagements, getting friendlier, leaving hints and ultimately dropping the bombshell (I HAVE A GIRL FOR YOU), he considered the offer.

This is where there is some discrepancy over who was responsible for the relationship. The whole time I strategically planned on setting them up, Adam discouraged me. He told me I was overstepping boundaries, that I was being inappropriate and that I should drop it. Yet when the guy ultimately asked Adam if he should listen to Adam’s crazy wife and be set up with my wonderful friend and Adam said yes, all of a sudden Adam thinks he should receive the credit for them getting together! As if!!!!!!!

Anyway, they started dating. They moved in together. And last month, they got engaged!!!!!!!! I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’m excited because individually they are the two coolest people, I’m excited because they are the greatest couple together, and I’m excited because I knew it right from the get go and successfully pulled it off! Insert huge pat on the back here!

And now I get to be a bridesmaid and the two cutest kiddos I know get to be the flower girl and ring bearer! Oh and now my two friends get to live happily ever after. Could it possibly be any better than this?!?!
