Wedding Bells

What's with 2012? It seems like everyone's settling down.

I have the privilege to attend one of my friend's wedding. Their relationship lasted for 10 long years before they decided to settle down, I am amazed!

By the way, my little princess is one of their flower girls. Here's her picture together with some friends who are part of the event.

I think my shy girl is lovely here.

I posted a note on their wedding gift "find joys in one another" although I want to actually add "never give up on each other" because this is exactly what I missed. Now that my friends are settling down, I realized that I was pretty immature when I actually tied the knot. And if I have the chance to turn back time, most probably these are the words that I should be thinking about once I walk down the aisle, irregardless of who I am walking with.

Weddings are great and scary too! Being separated, I realized that a relationship is not purely about love, but its more of acceptance and endurance. It brings a lot of challenges, a challenge bigger than when you found your partner sneaking out with a hot chic. Marriages are often draining. BUT it takes more courage to let go than to stay. It will take more pain to say goodbye than seek for reconciliation.

Probably you will ask where am I driving to? Well, I guess you should know that marriages are tough but being separated is tougher. So if your partner is still willing to take the risks after the great fall, go for it. Live life together. Learn to cherish each other.
