Love & Marriage
I just googled "marriage" (don't ask, it's been a long day and it's going to be a longer night) and all the pictures were of weddings. I always thought marriage was a lifelong thing, not a single day?
I was going to leave it at that, but now I've decided to delve deeper into it. Maybe that's why I never played marriage or planned my wedding when I was five years old or really, why I never was that much into romance. I guess it all seemed like too much work to me.
Growing up, the biggest influence I had (and any child has) was my parents when it came to relationships and love. There weren't a lot of pictures around the house of my parent's wedding nor were my parents overly romantic to each other. I barely remember them kissing when I was a kid and it wasn't until high school that I even saw them holding hands. That's not to say that my parents don't love each other; they do, very much love each other, completely and without question. It wasn't until later that I saw it though.
Perhaps if there were more pictures of the wedding around the house or if I had gone to more weddings as a child I would be more inclined towards weddings or romance in general. But I'm not interested as much as so many other girls in being wined and dined; my friends can attest to this, my idea of a date is pretty similar to hanging out with good friends, just you can possibly get some snogging in. Flowers and chocolates are flattering but what good is it compared to shared experiences?
Now, of course, my older friends and classmates are getting engaged and married and I've seen a few weddings as of late. Weddings and the like have been on my mind- but what about marriage?
Romance is the wedding day and marriage is the ultimate friendship.
Blahhh this is all I feel like writing. Maybe one day I'll flesh this out some more.
