VICTORIA
Moving in with you is a big step. Which is why I’ve decided … to bring my mother. Hear me out.
I have dreamt about waking in this bed every morning bathed in your love. Gazing into your baby blues yearning for something hot: cappuccino. But who will make it? My mother. That’s who.
I promise it wont be weird having my mom here. Like if mom comes in and we’re spooning it’s not like she’d squeeze in the middle. She’d take an end. I’m kidding. Mother’s not keeping me warm at night. You totally are. After mother tucks me in.
No cmon! But seriously…we can’t afford a nice wedding without a way to save money. Like splitting rent three ways. Plus we hate doing laundry, she lives for laundry. No time to make dinner? Momma’s cookin’! Think about our married friends whose love is buckling under the stress of trying to balance romance with work and chores and kids? Then think about us…where my mother takes care of everything…
(Singing) “Just the three of us. We can make it if we try. Just the three of us. You and I .. and mother.”
Please just consider it because … if I’m being really honest. Moving in here is a huge scary step and … I want my mommy.
