I dated Edward Collins for five years. We agreed to marry when I turned thirty. But on the day we were supposed to register our marriage, he said he needed to mourn his childhood friend's dog for three years. His childhood friend, Amy Yates, held a black-and-white photo of the dog, crying her heart out. She said, "Edward and I kept Benny for thirteen years, but Benny passed away. He was like our child, so Edward decided to mourn for him." I thought they were joking. But Edward was serious. He said, "Let's hold the wedding first. Three years later, we can move in together and get the certificate. Otherwise, if you get pregnant, Benny will get jealous." Then he thought of something and gave me a contemptuous glance. He added, "Besides, you're already thirty. Who else would marry you but me?" I smiled, and three days later, I married my childhood sweetheart.
