Wedding and Marriage

My dear friend is gettig married. Up until last night, it has not sink in to all of us, her friends, that she really is tying the knot. But she is, with all her wedding dress and shoes prepared.

The guy is of a totally different culture from her. Totally different orientation, beliefs, name it, most likely, he oppose her as she does him too.Though one thing is sure they have total affirmation to each other with ... that is the love they have within for each other.

I can't speak for the guy, of course. I have met him once, when he was just casually introduced to me and he uttered two words to me ... "I'm ___ (his name)". I cannot form an opinion in one introduction, or one meeting ... I do not even have a first impression other than what I can see physically. To judge a person with what is superficial is the lamest and dumbest and I do not carry such traits. I take him as he is. No more, no less.

But I trust my friend. And I believe her.She knows and feels and transcendentally grasps from her soul what she wants and maybe, just maybe, she has found "it" all to him. Isn't it love, in its most oddest to others, most obscure and bizzare to the rest of the world, is the most sane and reasonable emotion to the two hearts beating as one? Don't take my word for it, goodness! Maybe some can comprehend and others can't. Figure.

I always say that getting married is not necessarily finding the right person but rather the right time. I hope to God she finds the right time and the right person in him.

She has been preparing for her wedding and having just some small, not so really signifacant matter such as where to wed ... heheh .. He is not Catholic, her family wants her wedding in the traditional Filipino way ... in a Catholic Church.

It is not the wedding that is important. In the long run, it is the marriage that matters and the love and respect and the laughs, of course.

Let me tell you about my friend ... she is one of the kindest person I have ever encountered in my life. God fearing, devoted, honest, humble and humane. Words of kindess and truth in me cannot even define the deep respect and care I have for this friend of mine.Of all, she is one of those I pray dearly to find someone who will truly love her and bestow on her the happiness she so much deserve.

In this just-a-little-sudden wedding, all I pray and wish and desire for her is a love to forever grow and flourish with the divine intervention of the God she truly believes and faithfully pray to.

To you, mareng Vie, my best and most joyous wishes.The road you took may have been one of the roughest and darkest ... but you believe in the light as you never fear the shadows.

We are all waiting to shower you with all the support and love you need!
Cheers!

later.
