I'm always very happy when people that I know intend to make that undying, everlasting commitment to one another even if the statistics dictate that all of them won't end up together 'til death do they part. The desire to buck the trends is admirable and beautiful. Sometimes I wonder how it will feel when I make that decision that I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with somebody.

Will I be all excited all the time, like the city of Miami? Will I be catatonic half the time while I watch hard-earned dollars float freely out of the coffers I've spent (hopefully less than half of) my lifetime saving?

At the same time though, it seems like such a beautiful thing. The birth of a new life together preparing for untold adventures with somebody else as a companion and sidekick. The moment leading up to it even seems like the most scarily exciting time too. It has to be nervewracking to actually, ya know, do it. How do you feel an hour before, seconds before, blastoff.

As I watched the video for WEtv's Put A Ring On It Webseries, I couldn't help but smile...in the most masculinely, hairy-chested, Gaston way possible. The guy seemed genuinely happy about it, enough so to actually ask other people for help to make the day special. Trust me, you know (as a guy) when you're in love when you ask other people to help make your love more official.

That kind of feeling that our buddy Micheal had to make him want to take advice from Beyonce on is one that I hope to have one day. It looks like a grand event and I do know that when I'm ready to make that leap, I too want it to be a memorable and exciting moment. Maybe instead of stopping time, I'll be like Cher and turn back time. Then again, aspiring to be like Cher might not be such a hot idea since I have no desire whatsoever to wear fishnets and don a jet black wig.

To those who have taken the plunge, salut. I believe it was philosopher king cum drunken R&B singer D'Angelo who pondered it best when he spoke so eloquently these words:

How does it feel?

So I ask, how does it feel?
