Abigail said, "I'm pregnant now, and my boyfriend Trevor is all wound up about my belly showing, 'cause we ain't hitched yet. He wants to whisk me back home and get hitched pronto, then we'll keep on with the wedding plans as before."
Cornelia looked at Abigail's belly. She was less than three months pregnant and not showing one bit.
"Abigail, tying the knot is serious business, make sure you've thought it through." Cornelia said.
Abigail responded with a smile, "Marriage is serious, that's what everyone tells me, but you ain't the one to preach. You were ballsy enough to marry a man you'd never met. You think Trevor is any less reliable than Marcus?"
Cornelia was left speechless.
Abigail continued, "I'm just pulling your leg. I made up my mind to stick with Trevor when we went to see his folks. They took a shine to me, and my folks are head over heels for Trevor. We were gonna tie the knot sooner or later, so we might as well do it now and get it over with."
Men's words weren't worth a dime. Like those who might promise eternity with Cornelia one day and flirt with another woman the next.
Cornelia wanted to ask Abigail to mull it over, but she was afraid she might rain on her parade. So she only said, "Alright. If you've made up your mind, go for it. Just make sure you're happy."
"I'll be happy. We'll be happy. By the way, has Marcus told you when you guys are having your do-over wedding?" Abigail asked.
A do-over wedding? Marcus never mentioned it. Cornelia didn't give a hoot about formalities, but she felt a pang of sadness at that moment. If he really loved someone, he'd want to throw a wedding with her, right?
Getting hitched legally only made his spouse in the eyes of the law. A wedding was introducing each other to family and friends, telling everyone they knew that they were hitched for life. Thinking about this, Cornelia gave a slight laugh, "Maybe I'll have a wedding with someone else."
Abigail thought Cornelia was joking and laughed, "Have you met a hunk who's hotter than Marcus?"
"Not yet, but who knows what the future holds?" Cornelia joked.
