Gemini friend's joke

I was dating a gemini, I used to like him alot & he disappeared for a looooong time! So, I moved on & I'm currently in a relationship with another guy. We reconnected a while ago, he called me and that took me by surprise. But since that we have been keeping it friendly.
Well, one day I was talking with him on the phone & my father was calling me, so I told him to wait and then he said something like this:
"Say hi to your dad from me, tell him that I'm your future husband".

I just laughed, but i thought that was kind of weird. So, geminis please help me figure this out:
Should i take this as a simple joke & not take it very seriously? was he simply playing around or maybe he meant it? what do you think about that comment? am I reading to much into this?

Please, I really need your input gemini guys & girls, this comment left me thinking all day. U.U

Well, whether it was serious or just a joke... It doesn't matter. That^^^^^^ statement does!

When DXP folks post the details about their relationships with their disappearing Gem guys, almost all of them say that he, at some point, made a reference to marriage. Why? No idea.I wouldn't write too much into it.
