hello excitement, why have you left me?

i woke up this morning to a status update from the "other woman" stating that she was married to her boyfriend of a few months who she upped and moved countries for after knowing him for less than a week on holiday while then still being in a less than a month long relationship with someone else back home.

of 'coz this brought bout a flurry of comments including question marks from the alpha boy and myself.

the "other woman" later dropped us an email to explain...

i'm not legally married.
we are just married through the power of love and commitment.
we did exchange vows while driving to work this morning though...

i said, do you *insert name of the "other woman"'s boyfriend* accept "insert name of the "other woman"* as your wife, blah blah blah... and he said i do, and i said i do too!

okay i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks this is very strange indeed.

are normal people married through the power of love and commitment? and do normal people exchange vows while driving to work?

and yet she's the one getting all the excitement right? so maybe she is doing something right afterall?

i'm beginning to think i'm too darn normal for my own good.
