on mock weddings
in the evening news: more pinoys go for civil weddings than church weddings. hala!
a few years back, i have thought of, or more like imagined, staging a mock wedding for me and my fiance. this year, i am still entertaining that thought.
right. that was a giveaway. yes, there is no fiance in the picture...YET. ahaha! hoping still, i guess. okay, so i lost you. why did i say that was a giveaway? well, if a fiance loved me for all the right reasons, why would he even agree to mock marry me?
right again. because he loves me. what i forgot to mention - if at any point during my presentation/proposal of a mock wedding with him and i sense that he will react violently against it, i will push thru with it (mock wedding) after making sure that :
again, it's not because i'm commitment-phobic because, again, i am not. anymore, at least. maybe when i was cooking up that plan years ago....there was some of that there. but really. i expect to be migrating to the states a couple of years from now. and that is only possible if i stay single. (unless i fall in love with a US Citizen and we get married).
my parents migrated to the US last 1999, after around 20 years of waiting. my mom filed the sponsorship papers last 2000. they've been working really hard (i saw that when i visited october) and i know their dream is to bring us all there, so we can all be together. two of my siblings are married. so it's just me, my kid and my other two sisters.
i want to help them, make them happy and spend time with them. i love them so much.
now, if the universe decides to give me my true love before THE date (when i leave), i know he (true love) will be more than willing to pack his things and start a new life with me in the US.
if that will be the case, then a mock wedding (or a celebration of union without legal papers / illegal wedding) does not seem all that crazy now, isn't it? ;p

- nobody else knows about it, except me (and probably just another soul)
- the whole thing will be null and void, if and when the need to have our secret mock marriage "annulled and voided" arises
