So anyway, went to this beautiful wedding (as per post below) and it amazes me that no matter how many weddings i go to, it never fails to make me think about how things are or can be..
You know how people tend to get emotional at weddings? Especially if it involves someone you know? In a way you kind of envy their happiness...their absolute certainty about wanting to spend the rest of their lives with that one person.
It makes me wonder..when you decide to get married to someone, how much about you actually changes? How much of your perspective changes? None at all? Or all of it???
I used to believe that marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper and a ring on your finger. A lifetime of witnessing marriages fall apart sort of reinforced that belief as i grew older.
I do believe that marriage does not (or should not) change how you feel about each other, or your level of commitment to one another. I spoke to a friend not long ago and he told me the difference with being married and not is that it's harder to split up. There's more red-tape and technically you can't just walk away.
Can the beauty of marriages prevail over the doom of the cynics?........
As i grow even older (with my approaching 3-0), i'm starting to see the romance in getting married. People always look so happy at weddings, and i don't mean just the couple. I think the beauty of the day just sort of emanates all round...and the feeling is just so catching...
I think perhaps ultimately there's almost nothing more joyful than seeing two people vowing to love each other for the rest of their days...it just brings out the idealist in you...
