Basically, boyfriend and I have been planning a holiday for next year. The holiday has now been adjusted to include a short stay in Las Vegas. Tonight he took me out for dinner and whilst discussing this trip - he said "shall we go and get married?"
This caught me completely off guard and I reacted with a nervous laugh and then waffled on about an episode of Friends where Ross and Rachel got married in Vegas with pen on their faces.
I assumed he was joking. But he reacted to my reaction with a nervous laugh and a face I have seen before when he has wanted to say something but couldn't quite say it. I didn't know whether he was being serious or not at this point but being the motormouth that I am - I started rattling on about how tacky vegas weddings are in a "god could you imagine if we did!! how hilarious haha" kinda way ... he then started saying "yeah, suppose it is, but I would probably go for it - you know, whilst up that way"
There was an awkward silence and then a change of subject - but he was really quiet for the rest of the night.
Have I seriously just laughed at a genuine marriage proposal or was he joking??? Now I'm stuck, I can't bring it up again incase he WAS joking but what if he wasn't?? he'll never ask me again! :-(
