Mind your own business old guy...

Yesterday i was at things remembered getting James an engagement present, to show my support and there was this old couple in the store, probably around 80ish...and the wife wanted to by something for a family member who's mom just died. She was trying to explain this to her husband and he was being a jack ass, saying that he didn't understand why she would want to buy them a present because it wasn't a big deal that their mom died...it was sad. So they started arguing in the store yelling and he was being very mean to her. So i went about my business and he comes up to me, in my face and asks if I'm engaged (because he saw my awesome ring!) of course i told him i was and he flipped out at me yelling, "Oh my God, you're just a child! why don't you enjoy life?" in a really rude tone. So i told him that i wasn't getting married for another year and i am enjoying life very much, then he walked away shaking his head. The whole time i was thinking 'i would rather hold on to the guy i know i want to marry then go around partying all the time and marrying someone just because they were who you were dating at the 'right time' and be miserable like he obviously was with his wife.' The whole thing didn't really bother me because i have thought about this a lot while being engaged, i am young, but i don't think it matters what age you are. I have been through a lot for my age and know who i am and how to handle myself. All the things people do in college, i already did in high school and I'm over it. I've known Jake for like 8 years, we are good friends, i had a huge crush on him all through high school we hung out all the time, spent hours on the phone talking, he was there for me no matter what. It's not like I'm marrying a stranger, i know this guy and he rocks!
