I was at a wedding – actually let me clarify – I was in a wedding this weekend.
And the bride told me that she threatened the groom the night before, that if he wasn’t going to be better with her, maybe she shouldn’t be marrying him.
I quote.
“I had to smarten him up.”
It was over his ability to get his family to decorate the hall.
Is that what love is really like? Am I missing something to believe that you shouldn’t marry someone if your life is a game of one-uping each other? It was really heart breaking.
I may not be the biggest believer in marriage for me … but when it comes to getting married, I’m a traditionalist – you will love and honour and respect the other person.
You will communicate with each other. Include each other in thoughts, share stresses, talk about dreams. The person is your best friend.
But, then … I was one of four single people at the wedding – one was a widow and the other two had boyfriends – so what do I know about love.
