A Wedding Day

Posted in Womanhood at 11:25 pm by erald17

It’s no longer hard for me to imagine myself walking along the
aisle, wearing immaculately white gown, holding a bouquet of flowers, directing to the altar, awaiting the arms of my future groom.
One of every little girl’s fantasies is to have a fairy tale wedding, everything is perfectly decorated and the red carpet along where you stride leads to paradise. Every little girl dreams of a perfect wedding along with the perfect guy… whom she had waited all her life and has vowed to spend the rest of it with him.
Perfect wedding does not only come in form. It has to be taken with several considerations. On your wedding day, everything needs not to be perfect. But at least, everything has to be fine.
Aging only 18, I cannot help wondering what might be the kind of wedding existent by time that I would tie the knots. Perhaps different, perhaps just the same as what we are having nowadays. Not unless my future husband and I would agree to have it conducted somewhere in…. Europe… Then, it definitely would be a deviation from the typical ones here in the Philippines.
My idea of perfect wedding goes beyond the elegance of the set up and the glamor of the entire entourage. Neither is it measured by the amount of food that the guests would share nor by the number of guests that the reception area could accommodate. It is not in the solemnity of the choir’s singing and of the Wedding March, nor in the teary-eyed parents, friends, close friends and best friends.
The most important element of the perfect wedding is timing. You cannot set the date when to fall in love. But you can properly decide when you are going to settle down with your better half, your lifetime partner.
For couples who are looking forward to their wedding day and to spending the rest of their lives with their beloved ones, it is quite important to think of what might happen in the long run and to ensure that the essential elements are already in their respective places. Marrying is definitely one of the turning points in the life of a person. Whether you are a man or a woman, many things will start to change by the time that you enter the bond of marriage. Some of these changes you would love, but surely, some, also, you would not.
One thing that a married-to-be should remember is that the world does not only revolve around your boyfriend or your girlfriend. When you get married, you’ll feel the earth moving under your feet.
You’ll realize this is more real than having your hymen torn by the person you loved and you realized he is not worth it.
