After 67 years, Archie has finally decided to settle down with no other than Veronica Lodge.

I have been an avid reader of the Archie Comics since I was a little kid. And who would've forget the longest running love triangle in the comic book history - Betty, Archie and Veronica. There are moments when I'd settle for Betty, but for the most part, I just kinda love Veronica. I don't know why, but for me she seems to be the type that's fit for Archie.

After reading the news, I went to my old trove of treasures and started going through the pages of Archie Comics again, reliving the adventures at Riverdale High till College... Boy, a trip down memory lane, and I realized it was fun reading those Archie comics once again. Twas fun to see the `ol brat Reggie, the geeky Dilton, the gluttonous Jughead, dorky Ethel, the faculties - Mr. Weatherbee, Ms. Grundy, Ms.Beazly... and a lot more. They made me laugh again like the first time I've read the comics.

I'm sure the news of Archie getting married to Ronnie drew mixed reactions, specially from the Betty-Archie fans, who probably has been outraged by the fact that the charming girl next door Betty has been ditched for the vixen and spoiled Ronnie.

Interestingly, relationships expert Marion Goertz says that our own choice for Archie's life's partner, more than we realize, says something about our character.

“People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist.

Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.”

The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sig
n she'd make a submissive wife, Ms. Goertz says.

Veronica just kind of takes what she takes and doesn't give a whole lot in return, but there's a sense that she's the prize, the unattainable, the hard to reach. Archie's quite flattered by that."

Well, whatever the case maybe, I'm just happy that Archie ends up with Ronnie. But who knows, the publishers might offer another twist just like the last time (Remember Cheryl Blossom?)
