That Engagement Ring

When I saw today’s song title, That Engagement Ring, I started to think about the middle word.

I’ve only heard it regularly used in two contexts now I come to think about it. The first one being in regard to the decision to get married and the period prior to the wedding. Then, secondly, as a reference to the engagement with an enemy during times of war.

And much hilarity ensued. War and Marriage! Lollity LOL.

But despite the chuckles, I’m glad to say that, after the initial engagement and the subsequent wars between myself and my partner in crime, Ineke, it has proven possible, over many years, to lay down our weapons (most of them) and build a strong and fairly stable peace.

There is hope for us all ;-)

You’re welcome.
