06.22.2001 Entry: "We went up to Vegas"

This last six months have been real hard and I have one person that I owe a lot of thanks to. That person is Diana. The relationship we have had is kind of weird. When Diana and I first met we were planning on just being partners in design. But I guess sparks kind of flew and we ended up dating. This was a pretty new experience for me because I have never dated anyone that was so different from me. Diana really isn’t that different from me, just her family. Her family is really great, but they just do stuff different from my family. I could go for hours about all the things that I think are weird. But then again Diana thinks my family is weird.

Diana is the type of girl I probably never would have talked to in high school. Not because she is Mexican, I have a lot of friends that are Mexican. But because she is the stuck-up Mexican type, you know the girls that shop only at banana republic and Nordstrom. The girls that wont were a pair of shoes unless there over $100. I remember the first time I found out the diamonds that she wears in her ears were real. I was like, “someone might cut your ears off for those.”

When Diana and I started hanging out, I tried to be someone I was not. I think everyone does that when they want to empress someone. Ever since eighth grade I’ve been a Converse and Doc Martin type of guy. During that first month I bought a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes for $160.00. I’ve never spent that much before in my life for a pair of shoes. But I tell you this, those shoes are the most comfortable dress shoes I have ever worn. I even bought a fancy new suite and was so close to buying an armani suite.

Diana and I have been through a lot and have really been there for each other. I think Diana has been there for more of my problems. But I’ve been there a lot for hers. I think one of Diana’s biggest problems is her parents. Some would call her parents a problem and others would say she is the luckiest girl in the world, to have parents that care that much. Her problem with her parents is they cant face the reality that Diana is growing up, that she’s not a baby anymore. Its kind of funny how some parents act like that when it comes to their children growing up. I know her Dad doesn’t like me that much, more than likely because he is afraid he might lose his little girl to a guy like me.

I feel bad for Diana sometimes because of all the pressure her parents put on her. She’s now the type of girl that is willing to do something only because she wants to upset her parents. I know when her parents find out that we got married last week up in Vegas their heads are going to spin. You may have read that last sentence and said to yourself, “WHAT?” Yes, we went up to Vegas last Saturday and got married. For Diana it was more of a way to rebel from her Mom and Dad. For me it was a second chance to be whole again. Most people I know still think Diana is just my girlfriend but we have been happily married for almost a full week now. None of my family knows, but they will find out soon. They like to gossip.

We plan on having a big fancy wedding once we have the money and are ready to do that. But for now I’m quite happy being married like this. Even if I do have to take Diana home every night after we hang out =)
