The recent weddings have really gotten me thinking...
all the hassle the immediate family n the couples go through 4 months or even years.
preparation of the card, deco, booking a place, food arrangement, costume... plus,plus n more plus..
all the hoo-haa.. just 4 that 1 day.

it's indeed a big responsibility shifted from the parents of the couple to the couples.
a new responsibility the couples are gg to face, without any prior experience or knowledge.

Not only are 2 people joined in a marriage, 2 huge families are related..
more people to accommodate, more people to answer to, more opportunity for problems to arise because of misunderstanding.
& bear in mind, i m just talking about family members.

NOT only that, the bride n the groom now has to accustom themselves w the habit and behaviour of the 2 in-law sides. & try to fit into another family that is totally new to some (a few may b luckier in this issue)
How sure can 1 b that the in-laws side might accept your genuine behaviour and character which has been with u for years ?
How sure can u b that the guy u are gg to marry will stand up 2 support u when opposed by his own family?
How sure can u b that this marriage will last? or was it simply cause of lust?

After all these things settled, the 2 people shd get used to living together. It is indeed very different from the 'loving' days. When in love, every1 is blind (or rather close 2 eyes) to the unpleasant things that the other half does. One tends to b more accepting towards certain behaviour or let it go.. But is it the same case when it comes to marriage?

hmmm... i wonder..
so much of thinking just 4 that one life changing moment that can never b undo..
BUT then it all eventually goes back to the 2 individuals..whether they are able 2 understand each other n their character
& accomodate w them 2 lead a meaningful life that they can look back n b happy about.

It's not about the years they live together as a couple.. but the life they led as a couple!
