We are all given the choice to choose the man or woman we want to be with for the rest of our life. But back in the days (during our grandparent or great grandparent generation), not many are given such luxury. Marriages were usually planned or what people called 'pragmatic marriages'. Pragmatic marriage is a marriage in which both the bride and the groom has no official say over the selection of their future wife/husband. Usually the decision lies in the hand of both parents. Well, I don't know if it makes you wonder but i did..how did such marriages last? is it 'loveless'?
Well, maybe its not love at first sight but that doesn't mean it won't be the love of your life.

Wedding Vow
Hi Readers,
Just to share a portion of a wedding vow i came across which i think its real and at the same time, sweet.

'When you love someone, you do not love them all the time in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. That is impossible. It is even a disservice to pretend it is possible. Yet that is what most of us demand. We have such little faith in the ebb and flow of life and of love and of relationships. We leap forward at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb, for we are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanence, on duration, on continuity. But the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity and in freedom, as dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in creating the same pattern.'

Bridesmaid
Hi Readers,
Has anyone watched the movie '27 dresses' before?
If you haven't, you probably should dl it now! You will never...ever..regret! I watched it twice!
As funny as it is supposed to be (romantic comedy), it does contain a lil humanity in the context of this movie.
As you know, bridesmaids refer to a group of unwed young woman at a marriageable age, usually a close group of girlfriends or sisters. If you are lucky enough, you could even be the maid of honor or matron of honor (if you are married).
It is definitely definitely nice being chosen to be a bridesmaid.It symbolises the sisterhood between you and the bride. But wouldn't one feel jaded and depressed being a bridesmaid, one wedding after the other? After all, no one wants to be a bridesmaid thru out their entire life. It is every woman's dream to walk down the aisle, dressed in white and say ' i do'.
Don't you? I do
To be cont....
Signing out.
