On the 'Foretold' podcast, Paulina Stevens talks about her wedding to Bobby and the sequence of events that led her there. It's relatable.
Four years ago, I was in a relationship with a wonderful man whom everyone in my family adored, including me. He was a handsome Frenchman with a very good job and a kind heart. His goals were to have a successful career, get married, have babies and live a full and happy life bouncing between San Francisco and Paris.
Paulina says that during her whole childhood, she was told who she was destined to marry. Not just that she would get married in general, but that her future husband had already been selected — by her parents and his parents, before she was even born. “Growing up, I heard this story hundreds of times from my dad and John Paul. My mom tells the story.… I always heard it.”So it’s not hard to understand why Paulina accepted her predetermined path. When she was 12, she and Bobby decided to lean into the inevitable. When she was 16, they officially got engaged.
For me, the first sign of doubt crystallized when I found myself avoiding announcing my engagement on social media. He had proposed with a huge diamond ring, one that had been in his family for generations — the kind of ring you’d want to flaunt on Instagram but keep off your hand in public because it’s too valuable to risk being stolen.
I broke off the engagement, choking on everyone’s surprise and my own guilt about causing him so much pain. It wasn’t easy to do. To this day, I still feel like I let everyone down.
