Real-Sarino Wedding

It's been over a week and I've been procrastinating writing this post, but no matter how long I delay this I would still end up daydreaming about weddings. It was March 24, 2013, the sky was dim yet the sun seems to find its way through, the garden looks fantastic and people dressed so formal and classy. I was greeted by the groom, and the first thing I heard, and I quote "I never knew I'll be this nervous". I didn't quite understand why, but then I saw the bride, she was amazingly beautiful that day. As she was walking down the aisle, tears were streaming down her cheeks as she hold tightly the arms of her mom and dad, to accept the fact that to start a new chapter in her life begins by ending one. I thought I wouldn't cry, but there I was ruining my make-up. I made a quick peek at the groom, no wonder he was so nervous! The gravity of love and affection from the bride's parents are now on his shoulders. Though it can never be replaced, I know that he'll take care of my cousin (well he better be) and so it is to her as well.

I can't help it, and even during the wedding I was daydreaming... Since it's about love, I might as well write about it.

I've had this predicament for a while now whether to understand love as an emotional feeling or a conscious decision. First you fall in love, a passive and spontaneous feeling that happens to everyone of us, but what makes it difficult is to actually stay and be committed loving that same person, since this so-called feeling fades sooner or later, therefore love is a decision?
But then again, To say that it's a decision is to dilute its unique quality, it's rarity, because the thought implies that one can just fall in love with anyone, in the same way one decides to buy a cup of coffee or buy a new pair of jeans. Love requires a mixture of conscious action and serendipity, certain circumstances must arise, certain elements must fall into place. To say otherwise is to make love as mundance, well, as everything else. And love is anything but mundane.

During the wedding i realised that to keep loving a person, regardless if it's conscious or not lies within what they both strongly believe in. It's not much of myself to say this, but their faith in God is what will truly bind them together. The laws of man towards love is an exaggeraion of feeling either good or bad, but the latter is to understand that good will always be intertwined with the other. Where their inhibitions will turn into trust and fears will turn into comfort. We see people parade their love during occasions such as weddings, but rather this couple was simply grateful for it. We choose to be with someone for different reasons, more often than it should, it's usually for a wrong one. But this couple has taught me one thing, choose that person that will help you be a better person than you were. To be guided by God and continuously grow with that person and appreciate the blessings along the way.

Cheers to the newly wed! May you continue being a lighthouse of love and an epitome of happiness to hopeless romantics like myself. :)
