Marriage, Incorporated.

Yesterday, Josh called me and asked me where I'd want to get married, and when.
Yup. That's what I said.
You can feel free to reread that sentence.
Even as I write this, I seriously think I must be out of my mind.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
This guy has avoided and completely deflected ANY and ALL talk of commitment or marriage for three years- and he suddenly called to ask me about dates, times, locations, family involvement, and how much money we've both got in the bank.
?????
I am lost.
Don't get me wrong- this is GREAT! but, very confusing. Here I was thinking that my boyfriend and I were on the verge of a breakup, since I imagined that he never even thought about marriage, and very soon, we'd be going our post-grad separate ways.
???
UMM.
So I think my stance on this is going to be: this isn't happening. Until something is actually happening, then nothing is happening.
It's just too weird.
I've been told for two years to stop putting my hope in marriage. So, now, I can't even believe it's going to happen. It's as if after years of not believing, Santa Clause, just became real.
I am in the exact opposite situation as most of my friends. The majority of women I know have (or had) boyfriends who wouldn't STOP talking about marriage. I sat there, for two years, wondering what was going on in my own relationship.
And my boyfriend was completely silent.
:/
I just got used to it, I guess.
