Getting Ahead

Uploading proposal videos seems to be the in-thing for celebrities these days and followers are delighted to watch such momentous events in the lives of their idols. Behind the proposals are stories that engaged celebrities do not always share. By contrast, those who do, share that extra dimension of happiness to their loyal followers.

When Female Celebrity (FC) finally got engaged, Her Fiancé (HF) had done much preparation to ensure that the event would be memorable. As FC comes from a tight-knit family (TK), HF knew he had to get permission first from TK. When he spoke with TK, they were shocked and hesitant. However, Influential Member (IM) reminded them that FC and HF would eventually end up together.

IM has seen the sincerity in the intention of HF and was touched by his gestures and treatment of FC. Thus, IM vouched for HF for FC. However, TK’s concern was more of the financial situation of FC, who seems to have more savings and sources of income than HF. FC has been working hard in her career and TK was worried that once FC and HF marry, her assets would become conjugal property. Moreover, TK was bothered by the possibility that FC would no longer prioritize her work once she settles down with HF. After all, competition is tough in the field of FC and if she takes time off, other celebrities might eat up her market.

Despite all the concerns, TK has no choice but to talk to FC and HF separately and set the conditions for marriage. Predictably, TK wants a prenup to be signed and assurance they will not spend a single cent for the wedding, including the wedding dress of FC. HF assured TK that he is financially prepared to spend for their wedding and to give FC a comfortable married life. In addition, TK wanted all expenses be recorded in a ledger and reimbursements made of whatever they might have to spend on initially. HF said such was not a problem, as he was ready and had already anticipated the possible concerns of TK.

When HF’s camp learned of the conditions of TK, they could only shake their heads in disbelief. The demands of FC’s camp verified the rumors about the materialism of TK. HF’s camp could still not believe how TK could do such, but they have no choice but to support HF, as his heart has been won by FC.
