Oh Dear! Woman Explains Why A Man You Love Might Not Be Good For You
When 38-year old Stacey Baker's fiancé said he wasn't ready
for marriage and dumped her just before their wedding, she probably couldn't
see the brighter side. She had made preparations and even bought a $3500
wedding dress but Brad had other ideas, he dumped her and moved to California
from where he called her just three months later to say he was engaged to
someone he had just met.
Surprisingly, her family was glad it happened; they thought
Brad was impulsive and immature. In her memoir, Knot the One: Why Getting
Dumped Before My Wedding Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me, Stacey,
who is also a blogger, reveals that her fiancé proposed to her with a Tacori
diamond ring while they were on a Caribbean cruise in 2006.
She was 29-years-old at the time and working as a
high-powered attorney at the now-defunct financial firm Lehman Brothers in
Manhattan, and now recalls how she felt like she had everything she ever wanted
at her fingertips. The hunky, six-foot-tall California native told her one day
in November that he wasn't ready to get married.
'An hour later, he apologized and said that of course he
loved me, he was just confused about whether he was ready to get married right
now'. They continued to date for a short while but decided to end the
relationship for good. Brad got married not too long after but the marriage
ended in divorce six months later, now Stacey is glad their marriage never
happened because it could have been her with a divorce. On her would-be wedding
day in August 2007, she attended a friend's wedding with Jonny, whom she had
always had a crush on as a teenager.
