It's a funny story, but long and a little hard to follow.

After knowing each other for several years, DH and I started dating April 2010, and moved in together in November.  Satan had custody back then.  During the entire months of January and February, every time we saw Killjoy, Satan would have her remind us that "Ipso is NOT invited to my [upcoming extravagent 6th] birthday party."  But of course DH was invited, because, you know, otherwise who would pay?

DH and I got engaged February 14 2010, but Satan found out two weeks later after DH saw Killjoy, Feb 28.  But we didn't hear a peep.

The next weekend was a Satan weekend, March 7th, Killjoy's birthday party, and DH had informed Satan well in advance (prior to his Feb 28th weekend) that he would not go anywhere his future wife was not invited, so he wasn't there.

Well, next time DH picked up Killjoy was March 12th, and he came up to Satan's door.  (side note: DH was a bigger idiot back then and had ignored my wishes to stay in his car) .  Satan answered the door with her hand wrapped at eye level around the doorframe wearing an enormous [fake] diamond engagement ring.  Imagine the movie Fantasia with the elephants in tutus dancing a ballet.  She fluttered and preened and said, "Mealticket and I got engaged."

When they got home Killjoy confided that Mommy forbade her to tell Mealticket about the ring, Satan found it in his closet and he hadn't given it to her yet.

We celebrated Killjoy's birthday at our house with DH's whole family, and MIL found out from Killjoy that Satan had talked smack about MIL to Killjoy, again (telling Killjoy that MIL was being mean, not taking her phonecalls, etc).  So, later that week MIL called Satan and chewed her out, and Satan fake cried and acted the victim and handed the phone to Mealticket, so he could tell MIL what a bish she is to be so mean to poor, poor, innocent Satan.  Well, MIL sarcastically congratulated him on his engagement and the ring, and Mealticket had no idea what she was talking about.  He didn't buy any ring.

And as it turns out, Satan had faked a heart attack too the day she found out about our engagement.  At age 30.  She had herself taken away by ambulance in front of Killjoy, and left Killjoy overnight with a neighbor she barely knew, without calling DH.  She called to tell him about it after Killjoy's birthday at our house.  DH was supposed to be devasted and break up with me, I guess.

(When confronted about it by the GAL years later, she made that DH's fault.  She had the heart attack because DH refused to come to the birthday celebration she threw, aka break up with me.  In reality she was pissed because he didn't pay for it.)

The following Spring 2010, we were having a bonfire in our backyard and Killjoy said Satan was planning a wedding for that Fall at Extremely Posh B&B.  (You know, because Posh B&B would be the ONLY venue good enough for her, since it is the best.)  We asked her if Mealticket knew.

But wouldn't you know it, Extremely Posh B&B in Quaint Town is owned by my favorite neighbor's family.  We get phonecalls from there all the time, because Neighbor helps his family run it.  So I told Killjoy I would see if I could get Satan a discount, you know, since Satan is on Welfare.  I gave Neighbor mealticket's phone number, and asked Neighbor to call to confirm Mealticket's plans.  LOLOLOL.  (Imagine Satan's reaction finding out I'm friends with the local Kardasians.)

Years later, GBM informed me that Mealticket had told Satan he would never marry her.  But they are still together, because he needs someone to watch his kids on his weekends while he is at work.  SIL has spoken to him before and thinks he's gay, too.  Satan despises intimacy, so they are the perfect match.
