Oh come on, Ri. Don't say that to me.
You know I'm nothing like you, right? I'm not going to up and leave her because I get scared. I'm not a fucking wuss like you are. You're being nothing but a wuss when it comes to that stuff. Your ex loved you, she wanted to marry you. You mentioned wanting to marry her to me MORE THAN ONCE. And that "cutting" her loose? That's bull shit and you know it. You "took" her back? You went crawling back to her because you realised that you were missing her and she was everything that your heart wanted and needed. Because she was your heart. She is your heart. You get so defensive about this because you still love her and you know it, so why deny it?
What I see is this: you still love her. Half your last album was written about her and your relationship. Yeah. Did you think I would forget you said that? Did you actually forget that I wouldn't recall what you said about her and how many songs you wrote about that girl? Yeah. I didn't think so. So if you want to lecture me on a relationship? Maybe you ought to fix yours first. I know that you've been seeing that blonde American, but just remember where your heart is at the end of the day.
I love you, Ri. I'll call you later on and we'll talk about this, because we need to talk. I'm not doing this through email any longer. I have work and I frankly don't want to talk about it anymore. Go call Pippa, work your shit out. We'll talk later.

You had to bring that up, didn't you? I'm just trying to help you, Eion, that is literally all I'm trying to do. You're my brother and I love you, I just want to protect you from any mistakes you might make. You think you want it now, but you might not want it in a year or so. You might want to move on to someone else and less demanding of marriage. That's what I did. She started talking about it so I cut the string. I cut her loose. We took a break for a while, I saw other women, I presume she saw other men. We got back together for a while because I was weak so I took her back. It was nothing more than that. We had a few months together again before she brought up the marriage thing again so I cut the strings again.
You don't want to deal with that, Eion. You don't have to. Just cut it now before it turns into what I had to deal with with my ex.
But, yes. If you want me to be part of your wedding, then yes, I suppose I'll be your best man if the wedding actually happens. I just advise you to rethink your stance.

Yes, I want that. I know that what you had with your ex got lit on fire and you have nothing for the act of marriage but it's my life, Ri. I love Brie, I do, and I'm going to marry her. I want kids with her and I want to be with "one pussy" for the rest of my life. We've talked about kids and we've talked about marriage, and we BOTH want that. And we want it with each other.
I know that you understand what this feeling is, because we've - you and I - have talked about this topic before. Have you forgotten that? It was just two years ago around this time. I don't know what happened to you between then and now, but I know you know what it is, and I know that you wanted that with Pippa. Are you going to curse me out for saying her name? No, because you know what that feeling was and what that feeling is. You might not want it now, but I know that it went through your mind and your heart because you loved her, you wanted that with her and I don't know what got into your brain, but if you want to talk it out, I'm here for you. But this isn't going to be a moment in my day that you drain with your negativity. Brie and I are getting married and I want you there.
Which reminds me - you didn't answer my question. Are you going to be my best man or not?

Wow. I don't know what to say right now.
But I have to ask -- you're not doing this without thinking about it, are you? I know you said you two have talked about it, but that doesn't you've not thought about it. I mean you thinking about it, not just with Brie. But with someone else for an opinion because I don't think you have. You've probably just jumped into something that she's convinced you that you want to do or have with her for the rest of your life. That's one pussy for the rest of your life, you can't do shit alone, and you'll eventually have a kid, I'm sure she'll rope you into that too.
Are you sure you want that? I only say this because you're my little brother and I care about you.

Hey, Ri!
So, I know you don't really support this but you're the first person I wanted to tell about it since it just kind of happened earlier, but... I proposed to Briana about an hour ago. I bought her ring yesterday, asked her father if I could marry her this morning and I just asked her. I wanted to marry her, so bad, so I asked her. I know that you don't support marriage anymore for whatever reason, but I really wanted you to know. You're my brother and I look up to you in every aspect, but Ri, I really love her. You've met her, and you know how wonderful she is as a person. I had to ask her to marry me.
Before you ask... no, she isn't pregnant. No, we're not rushing into this because we've been together for two years, it's the next step to our relationship. No, we're not getting married this year (she wants to wait until summer so we can have it outdoors - we've talked about this for months). No, I'm not being stupid, like I know you're going to ask me if I am. I love her, Ri. I want to spend my life with her, and unlike you, I keep her and do what I'm meant to do.
Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you'd be my best man. I'd ask Sebastian, but you're the one that I always talk to and you're just, you're my best friend, and I don't think I can get married without you by my side. So, will you be my best man at my wedding?
