My name is Monica
Gellar Bing. I am 87 years old, I used to have 5 children, I now only have 3. I was
married to a wonderful man, Chandler Bing. He passed a few years ago. Even though I have
gone through incredible amounts of sadness in my life. I still manage to keep going. This
is my story, I will start out when I met the love of my life.
The year was 1986, it was thanksgiving and
my brother, Ross, was home for the holidays and decided to bring his best friend and band
mate, Chandler Bing. The moment I saw him I had a crush on him but he obviously had no
interest in me. I found this out later when he called me fat behind my back. It hurt
incredibly at the moment, at that point in my life I weighed 230 pounds and was very
ashamed of myself. I still was optomistic and tried to be as happy as possible. I wanted
revenge though, but not only that, I wanted to feel better about myself. So over the year
I lost 110 pounds and weighed only 120. I was so pleased with myself but my mother didn't
seem to really care. It hurt a lot all she cared about was Ross's new girlfriend Carol and
how Ross was so "Great" but I still felt great inside, it was so easy to shop
for clothes and I could share clothes with my friends.
Chandler couldn't take his eyes of me
that night, it felt great but still wasn't enough I wanted to embarass him about his body
as he did mine. I was going to try and trick him into stripping down as if we were to have
sex then some how get him outside, lock him out, and laugh. It didn't work though, I ended
up cutting his toe off. Somehow he forgot about it though and we eventually lived in
apartments across from each other. We became wonderful friends but never thought back to
those two thanksgiving nights.
Me, Ross, Chandler, a young women, Pheobe,
and a young actor, Joey all became wondeful friends, Pheobe lived with me and Joey with
Chandler. Ross was married but having difficulties, it turns out he was married to Carol
and she was a lesbian. I felt awful for him he loved her so much and her dumping him for a
women hurt him worse then any other pain he had ever felt, and I knew it too. The day
Carol moved her stuff out was very difficult, but very wonderful for Ross, my old
best friend from high school, Rachel, who was there both Thanksgivings came back into our
lives when she ran to me after running out on her wedding. She wasn't in love and wanted
to work hard for what she had instead of having a husband take care of her. So that
was pretty much my family even if we weren't related of course I had actual family and so
did the rest of the group but they were my true family, Ross, Rachel, Pheobe, Chandler,
and Joey.
Carol ended up being pregnant with Ross's
child of course which brought little Ben into our lives. Through out the years
Rachel got a job, Ross had a son, Chandler was given a raise got plenty of money but hated
his job, Joey had been on "Days of our Lives" and Pheobe had come close to
finding her real father. I had truly fallen in love for the first time with a man named
Richard Burke, he passed about 15 years ago, he was old enough to be my father, but it
didn't matter to me. I loved him very, very much. But things just weren't right he didn't
want to have children and I did. So I broke up with him. It hurt very much and I
understood some of the pain Ross had to go through.
The days kept coming though. Joey no longer
had his job on "Days of our lives" Ross was doing great, Rachel had a job at
bloomingdales, Chandler had fallen in love with the most irritating women I have ever met.
But broke up again. Pheobe was herself always up to something new. But something that made
everybody incredibly happy was the fact that Ross and Rachel had fallen in love.
Everything took a dramatic turn though. Ross and Rachel decided to go on a break leading
Ross to think they had broken up. He drank a little too much and ended up sleeping with
another women the same night they had 'broken' up. Rachel was devestated and refused to
get back together with a man who would do such a thing. They wouldn't speak for a while
and put the four of us in the middle. Eventually they were able to become friends again
though.
They were back in forth in their feelings
for one another. They got back together for a couple days but broke up again when Ross
said the phrase "We were on a break" which was his excuse for what he did. Ross
found another women and fell in "love" with her again. He decided to get married
to her after only knowing her for six weeks. Rachel soon realized she was still in love
with Ross and rushed to London where the wedding was being held. That's when my life took
a dramatic change. The best thing that has ever happened to me.
It was the night of the rehearsal dinner.
My parents were all over each other and I was just depressed over the fact that I wasn't
even close to getting married. Then when some drunk man said that I was Ross's mother it
blew me over the edge, but thank god for Chandler, he was there to comfort me just as he
always did. Him and I had always had a special bond. We slept together, probably not the
smartest thing to do but it didn't matter to me. It was as if we were a couple we knew
each other better then we knew ourselves some of the time so it was almost normal.
Ross's marriage to Emily didn't last though, he
said Rachels name during the vows which didn't please Emily. Emily would have stayed with
Ross if he didn't ever see Rachel again, but Ross didn't want Emily doing that, and
watching whatever he did so they were divorced.
Everything was wonderful after that.
Chandler made everything so simple. We decided to become a couple, but not tell anybody.
Our secret was found out very soon by Joey, who caught on to clues we were putting out. He
promised not to tell anybody and he didn't. But that wasn't enough. Rachel overheard us on
the phone talking, and discussed it with Joey. Then Pheobe saw us through the window of
Ugly Naked Guys apartment, a man we used to spy on. Ross was the last to find out and was
trying to get through his rage crisis which didn't help the situation. So our secret was
out, everybody knew.
A few days after that Chandler proposed to
me because he was sorry for saying he knew what I wanted. Everybody got a kick out of that
and made fun of him, I thought it was a stupid move but sweet at the same time.
We went to Vegas for our year anniversary,
but two days before we went to vegas I had lunch with Richard, just lunch not a date or
anything. I didn't tell Chandler and when he found out he wasn't happy. We had a fight
once we were in Vegas but made up, and he ended up proposing to me by a roll of a dice. I
still remember what he said, "If you roll another 8 then we get married, here,
tonight" so we went to some chapel to get married and it turns out Ross and Rachel
got extremely drunk and got married themselves. I thank them for doing that, it showed
Chandler and me that we were rushing into things.
So of course Ross and Rachel got divorced,
me and Chandler decided not to get married but still took a big step and moved in
together. Things were great living with Chandler and he even had plans to propose to
me. But problems came up the night we went to dinner and he had planned to propose.
Richard was also there that night and insisted that we eat dinner together with him and
his date. A couple days later, he came to me saying he was still in love with me. And
Chandler mean while felt Joey and Pheobe had ruined the suprise of Chandler proposing when
they asked to see my hand the night after dinner, so he pretended he wasn't interested in
marriage. I was stressed out and didn't know what to do. But I found out about Chandlers
plans and set the apartment up with candles.
I had planned to propose to him, but got
caught up in tears. Then he said the most wonderful words I have ever heard from him. I
remember it by heart, he said,
"I thought, that it mattered what I said, or where I said
it. But then I realized the only thing that matters is that you make me happier then I
ever thought I could be. And if you'll let me I will spend the rest of my life trying to
make you feel the same way," then he said the words I had looked forward to my entire
life, "Monica, will you marry me?"
Of course I said yes, with tears streaming
down my face, him as well. That night the six of us celebrated but Ross and Rachel kissed
and I felt they stole my thunder. I was very upset with them, but after hearing why they
kissed I felt guilty. Rachel was just sad that she wasn't anywhere near being married and
she was 30 years old.
That year went by great and we were married
on May 15th 2001. Joey was our priest after getting ordained via internet, which was kind
of strange but very special at the same time. Rachel was my maid of honor, Ross was
Chandlers best man and Pheobe was a brides maid, plus she sang for our wedding. It was
better then I'd ever imagined.
But after that, is when my whole life
changed.
That was Chapter one of "Our Story" I know it wasn't
that great but the actual story starts soon I swear please don't be too mean in the
reviews, thanks:)
