Now that I have your attention, I seem to have this magnetic quality that prompts complete strangers to give me encouragement that I will find a nice guy and get married someday. Do I have some invisible signal on my forehead or some high frequency prompter that can only be heard by those engaged or married? Yes, I think that must be it, because there is no accounting for it otherwise.
Case in point: One of the patients I saw today is engaged to be married. Cute girl, older than myself, and man could this girl talk. We got off the subject at hand several times (which is easy for me given someone who facilitates that). We spoke of her wedding plans, my friendS that I have been helping plan weddings for, wedding photography and the apparently shocking number of times that I have been a bridesmaid. ( I take it as a compliment that I have been asked so many times, and not as a sentence to spinsterhood, by the way). We finally finished our business and she got up to leave, but didn't do so until she assured me that there is someone out there perfect for me and that will marry me and treat me wonderfully.
So where are they getting this vibe from? Yes, a relationship would be nice, but, as I think I mentioned to her earlier, not in a big hurry to marry the wrong one. It really was a nice sentiment, but I just don't understand what provokes this recurring experience. Is it because I get overly excited about wedding planning? I just like to plan events in general, have experience in the department, and tend to be pretty passionate about things I like.
I also understand that I am indeed living in Utah, and the culture kinda demands marriage from someone my age, but this girl is not from here, not LDS....and so confirmed my suspicion that something fishy must be afoot.
So seriously, have I gone completely mad and maybe just maybe am walking around with a wedding veil and bouquet, and yet am completely oblivious to the fact?

That was a lovely story. Last time I saw you, you were sans veil and bouquet, so I wouldn't worry. Unless you just don't travel with them...
Oh good. If I had them, I probably woudl travel with them, because honestly, what do I travel without?
Are you the same girl who shamelessly trampled over the backs of several hopeful young women to catch the bouquet at Jessica's wedding?
And don't be discouraged, catching the bouquet at Rachel's wedding finally paid off for Christian... he's newly engaged you know.
I trampled no such personages, the bouqet got knocked to the floor and i slid across the floor on my knees. And that was nearly 10 years ago. Ouch.
And yet, that is not the only bouqet I have actually caught. They are just drawn to me now. It's scary.
But yeah for Christian!
