The Wedding...

     
            What exactly constitutes a happy marriage... I have absolutely no idea... Is it love?? understanding?? honesty?? or all of the above and more??? The majority of the examples I have seen in my life are rather poor... Its actually a given that love is universal but it just isn't enough unless your willing to TRY... But then again maybe LOVE is all you need to keep trying... Trying to work out the issues despite detrimental circumstances... Impossible?? who knows!! Is it even a question why most of my generation and the ones that follow hold marriage to be quite a joke... Lets not talk about Kim Kardashian.. :P :D :P But on a serious note, its not really right for us to judge a union that we know little about.
               Its no secret that I came from a broken family, maybe of course to my adoring public viewing this blog... yea its new information! My parents parted in very good terms or so I believe, as friends you could say... Most people actually find it funny that my mum and step mum are good friends... Well life is FULL of surprises!!!! Today it is hard to hold on to any belief with unshakeable conviction, simply because it has become convenient to question everything and anything in general... What is commitment?? when it is so easy for anyone to just give up, just walk away or even just call off a wedding...
              Based solely on a contract that keeps two people together, dressed in flowers and fabric, yet grown into traditions so diverse and breath taking, it's one of those social norms that just keeps growing in structure and meaning... The preparation, the brilliant colors and amazing people that come together to celebrate two people and their commitment, it is quite extraordinary. I was most recently exposed to a wedding, my sisters and hence my long vacation over in Sri Lanka... There was so much planning and work that went into it... And finally she took the leap...


     


         Maybe not everyone is meant to tie the knot but these 2 love birds were most definitely meant to be together... Some couples are meant to end up together and I am so glad that my sis found the love of her life... Their connection is quite evident especially to people that know them personally... Their union is something that gives me faith about finding the one... n getting hitched!! :P :P
       






      I dedicate this post to my Sis & Bro-in-law, may you always be happy and treasure each other.... Love U Always!!!




                So what's my ultimate opinion when it comes to marriage?? Marriage is a challenge, when you think about it, every relationship is.... And not many of us  might be willing to take it up and the few of us that do... Well... I do salute you!!!! Cause its not happily ever after from there... Its a whole big adventure you take with someone... Who will guide you when its too dark to see... Who will cuddle you when its too cold and who will hold your hand... Just to show you that they are there for you... Right there...  It may not be all hugs and kisses along the way but as long as you keep trying, keep loving, I doubt that you could go wrong...
