here it goes..

I’ve been recently overwhelmed by weddings.

The gorgeous bridal gowns, immaculate men in suits, pretty flowers, luxury wedding bands, numerous carat diamond rings.
The walk down the aisle, the look in their eyes, their shared vows, the sacred kiss, welcoming the mister and missus.
The ‘seal-of-love’ ritual done in ONE day.
I’ve heard ‘getting married is easy, but staying married isn’t’.

How would you know it’ll last forever? Ok. Nothing ever lasts forever.
But what about the shared vows that say, ‘till death do they part’.
How would you know it’ll at least last till then?

I pondered over the thought on ‘how would you know this is the man you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with?”
I asked, and was told “You’ll know it when you meet him.”

She knew it when she met him…
He courted her for 3 years, before she decided to give it a try.
And they spent the next 4 years together…
He proposed, she contemplated for a while, but gave in to ‘THE ONE’ in her life.
She felt he was THE ONE…
They went through marital bliss…
Had their first beautiful daughter, and then came another…
But he found life outside marriage more interesting and so they drifted…
And then it broke and shattered.

So what if he spent 7 years of time and effort, hoping she’ll spend the rest of her life with him?
And then betray those sacred vows they once made and believed in…

“You’ll know it when you meet him”
How trustworthy is that anymore?
How much is there to believe in that statement anymore?

I asked again, and was told “People eventually change through the years… You’ll never be able to expect or be guaranteed of anything everlasting, not even love.”

Then why would anyone want to ever believe in something that might change and leave you with an extreme amount of hurt, disappointment and loneliness?

I was told again that “I guess everyone is just going through the motions of life. Court, date, get married, have children, grandchildren, till death comes knocking.”

Then what meaning is there left anymore?
