It's interesting to see how people react to various types of unexpected news. Recently, i've had the good fortune of getting various types or reactions from people around me when i informed them the "I am getting married". Here are a few scenarios. (names will be changed to protect the identity of those who wish to remain anonymous)
Scenario 1:
I was on leave from work that day and i was making arrangements to do certain important things e.g. meeting my future in-laws for the first time. Therefore i needed to explain to colleagues why i had to maybe leave early and for this particular time, i was not able to stay till the very end of a photoshoot session of my client which was supposed to end rather late at night.
ME: Hello!
Colleague: Hi! How are you?
Ok la, i cant remember the whole conversation but we updated each other on work stuff and then....
ME: Hey, i dont think i can stay till the very end of the photoshoot.
Colleague: Can, can no problem. ( Didn't even ask why - a bit the Weird right??)
ME: Actually, i have to tell you. I met someone and we are settling down. I am getting married.
Colleague: HUH??!! Are you serious? Are you sure?
ME: hahahahaha...yes yes i am sure. i will tell you all about it.
Colleague: Okay..... (sounding very speechless)
After this the conversation ended very quickly because my colleague had to attend to something. After about one hour my phone rang, it was my colleague.
ME: Hello
Colleague: Hi. Now i can talk. I am still in shock of what you told me
ME: Hahahaha. Yeah i know it happened so fast.
Colleague: Ok my first PR reaction is are you sure but my actual reactions is "ARE YOU CRAZY??"
ME: Hahahaha..
Oh well that was that! Cool reaction isnt it.
Scenario 2:
I went over to my sister place just to say hi but my real intention was to tell her i am getting married. We talked usual talk, how are you etc etc..talking about her children etc. Then, she posts me "the question".
Penji: So, seeing anyone? (Usually the answer she gets is NO - i'm too busy)
ME: Well, as a matter of fact yes i am
Penji : (Looking interested and eyes wide open) Oh, interesting. is it serious??
ME: Yes it is very serious. And you can expect good news
Penji : (Now at the edge of her chair looking as if she is about to fall off) Really? How serious?
ME: He proposed
Penji: (Screams a really shrill scream) And? What did you say?
ME: I say YES of course la!
Penji: (Screams even louder and her kids come running asking her what is wrong). Oh my God, Oh my God.
And then, she cried and hugged me so tight i think it affected my blood circulation a bit.
So, there you go! Two scenarios.
