Whether it's an exasperatedly admitted "finally" or a long list of
references to the couple's protracted relationship, many newlyweds take the
opportunity to joke about how long this day has been coming. Over time, more
than one bride (or groom) has included some small wink to the sentiment of
"you should have married me years ago" in their vows.
While there isn't a set rule regarding how long you must wait before asking
someone to marry you—some people wait years, while others wait only a few
months—there is a typical pattern that the question "they haven't asked you
to marry them yet?" comes up after the first few years.
But on occasion, you lose sight of the work at hand. Particularly if you
two started dating while in college, started your adult lives together,
adopted a puppy, or did anything else. Given that couples may just coexist
without having to follow societal standards or spend a lot of money on what
their mother-in-law anticipates, the hectic pace of modern living can push
out the big day. They can train their labradoodle to use one of those
talking touchpads instead by building IKEA furniture together.
Some brides do, however, really desire to make their way down the aisle. A
female can only wait so long before they start giving her serious
hints.
A South Carolina couple who had been together for an incredible 15 years
finally experienced their wedding day. Then Christie's longtime boyfriend,
Byron Jefferies, made the big proposal. They chose October 15, 2022, as the
date.
The bride incorporated some comedy into her vows to the groom she had been
dating for so long during their wedding ceremony at the School House Venue
in Travelers Rest.
The pair was seen getting ready to say their vows in a popular TikTok
video. The video captured the moment when the cheeky bride made a subtle but
humorous allusion to how long she'd been with her guy, with Jeffries wearing
a black tux and Christie wearing a lovely white gown.
Christie first blew a noticeable coating of dust from the white paper's
page before unfolding it, on which she had undoubtedly written all the
sweetest phrases about their love. The audience laughed out loud. Christie
had obviously been working on this little speech for some time. The shocked
groom, who was grinning, looked at the dust cloud. But Jeffries saw right
away the sense of humor he must have grown accustomed to in his future
bride. After the actual dust had cleared, he grinned with the crowd before
returning to his soon-to-be bride.
Christie too could not help but giggle, having pulled off her little joke.
Along with the audience, she laughed. Afterward, when Jeffries shook his
head at Christie's antics, the pair exchanged a knowing glance. He seemed to
have endured at least 15 years of her jokes, so perhaps that is why he
finally proposed to Christie: so that they can laugh together for the rest
of their lives.
Then Jeffries gave his loved one another perceptive glance. They both
grinned as they realized Christie had been patiently waiting for him to
propose while she had, ironically, already written her vows. She may have
even written them at the beginning when she already knew that he was the man
she would marry.
