Shenequa Golding:

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by wedding gowns, veils, headpieces… the whole kit and caboodle. Charmaine (the woman I shared a body with for nine months) is a wedding sales consultant so, I know all about the big day. And maybe because I’ve been surrounded by so much chiffon all my life, it became too much for me. But early on, I said, “nah, I’m good.”

Now, I don’t knock women who want marriage. But planning years in advance for that special 24 hours is wack! To fantasize once in a while about your wedding day or walking through a jewelry store and gazing at diamond rings is totally understandable. But to spend hours and hours of your day before meeting that special John is too much energy focused in the wrong direction.

Last night my ex Anthony and I chopped it up. I told him about my dating frustrations and then he dropped a gem, which made perfect sense.
