The Odyssey recently published an article titled, “You May Have Worn The Prom Dress With Him, But I Get To Wear The Wedding Dress,” by Missouri State graduate Victoria Higgins.
In it, Higgins discusses her recent engagement to her boyfriend and how she copes with jealousy.
And we’re not talking about the standard, random-girl-at-a-bar jealousy. Higgins reveals that she’s plagued with jealousy for her fiancé’s high school prom date.
So she embarks on a lengthy rant and berates this random high school girl for not being good enough to lock down her fiancé.
She writes, in part:
You thought that you would marry your boyfriend and you thought that everything would work out how you had always imagined. I don’t blame you though. He’s great. You wanted everything with him, but you were just not right for him.
I wish I could say that I am sorry it didn’t work out for you, but I can’t. I can’t because he is mine now, and I get to cherish him forever. You didn’t do that right, and you were not meant to be together. You will find someone too, but I am happy that you were not the one for him.
She also addresses her jealousy head-on.
Just kidding. She approaches it through the back end by tearing this girl from limb to limb in the good, old-fashioned cafeteria cat fight style.
I find myself getting jealous, but then I stop. I am getting to match his tux with our wedding colors. I got to go dress shopping in a sea of white, and he doesn’t get to know one detail about that dress yet. He will get to see me walk down the aisle and then every day forever. I get to love him forever.
Now, listen. I don’t know either of these people. I don’t know what their relationship history is. But it doesn’t matter. Unless this guy was dating Kate Upton in high school, I don’t think Victoria Higgins has much to worry about.
With that being said, this guy needs to get out while he can. He might have had a lapse in judgment and thought it was a good idea to propose to Victoria Higgins. But it was not. If he had any shred of doubt about this relationship, this article should serve as his confirmation. This girl is a certified maniac. This guy has a better shot at surviving a tiger attack than staying married to Victoria Higgins. Anybody over the age of 16 who spends their time fixated on a prom date is almost guaranteed to have a 2007 Britney Spears-type of meltdown at some point. And nobody needs that in their life.
If I’m this guy, I’m running for the hills. He should have burned all evidence of his identity and booked the next flight to Argentina after this article went live. It’s the only way he’ll get out now.
