Marriage, Weddings, Love, etc.
So I went to a wedding today of a girl who's family is really good friends with our family. She used to babysit my brother and I in fact. She is 29 years old. She is a doctor and so is her husband named Vito. They are both Italian, both Catholic, and both the friendliest people on Earth. The church was absolutley beautiful and they both looked amazing. She was walking down the aisle and they couldn't take their eyes off of each other. The whole night they couldn't. They were laughing and crying and they kept saying they loved each other and kissing and dancing. It wasn't all show either it was like...I don't know...there was this energy.
What does it feel like to love someone that much and have them return it? What does it feel like to know that after that moment you are dedicated to this person and they are dedicated to you for the rest of your lives? He will always be there for you in sickness and in health in good and bad, until death do you part. He will be your companion, your best friend, your husband, your lover, your children's father, and your everything. To me this just doesn't seem like something that is easy to attain. She made a speech about how she was positive 100% certain that Vito was the man for her, the man of her dreams. How do you know? Its just a feeling...imagine feeling that way...God it has to feel amazing. It seems impossible. That kind of love seems unattainable and yet today I yearned for it with every fiber of my being. Watching them up there loving each other and knowing for sure that they were supposed to be together, I wanted that. I wanted to be the one in the white dress. I wanted to be the woman standing up there with the man of my dreams.
Love is such a complicated thing. This girl waited until she was almost 30 years old to get married. I mean that to me is waaaiiitttiiinngg! That is dangerously close to giving up all hope and becoming an old maid. Hell I am feeling close now! She waited for Mr. Right...excuse me Dr. Right. haha They are beautiful together. They are an example of how its supposed to be. Her family loves him and he loves them and the same the other way around. Its like they were destined to belong together. They were perfect, flawless. How do you find your match? The puzzle piece to complete you? How do you stay patient enough, brave enough to wait that long? And how do you not let your wanting it so badly interfere with your heart?
All of this marrying business got me thinking. I know I am young and naive. But its fun to think anyways. I witnessed true love today and it made me incredibley happy and incredibley sad all at the same time. I guess that's what love does to you.
...sigh...
