Weddings

How many people truly know what love is?

Yes, I'm sure many people who are married love their spouse.  Many people who are engaged love their fiance(e).  But how many of these people truly know that deep passion of love that is unconditional and never failing to be forgiving.  The kind which stays in your heart through the saddest times, then burns bright just to have that person in your life.  The kind where it doesn't matter if you have any kind of title with them, the only thing that matters is that they want you in their life again and you help them make it better.  Where you long to make them happy and help them find things that do make them happy. 

It bothers me how many people who are engaged are in love with the wedding.  In love with the idea of planning the wedding and making everything perfect.  In love with all the little details and things that come with weddings and making every guest as whoo'd as possible.  All the intricate things are what are so important.  But in all this detail,  don't forget to build a foundation as a couple.  How many people actually take time to lay a foundation that will never crack.  Take that love I spoke of and make it even greater.  Mature together and see things you never thought were possible.  Why do so many people fall in love with the wedding and not the person in it?

I know, me, personally would not be ready for such things as my wedding.  But when that time comes one day,  if it's that person I love so unconditionally, sure pretty weddings are wonderful and I hope to have one.  But as long as he would be there, put me in a potato sack with bare feet and make me walk into a pig lot and the alter be the trough.  I don't need all that stuff, if my love is there, that barnyard scene would be my heaven.  I might be to passionate about love for some people, but that's how I am and it saddens me to see people fall in love with a wedding and not that beautiful soul which stands there awaiting to start the journey of life with you as one.
