Just say...

Since my last post had kind of no real topic, this one has. You see, I had to write an essay for English class yesterday about marriage vs. being single, and I soooo liked that subject! I admit, I am the kind of girl who is impossible to drag away when they show a wedding program on tv. I don't know what is it with them, but somehow it feels like a magical era in a girl's life. (Guy's too, I guess...maybe) Every single time I see even one white dress or hear those first tunes recognised almost worldwide, I just get that excited feeling. I know, it'll be a while before it is my turn, but a girl can dream, right?

To give an obvious answer to the unasked question, I chose marriage. It is not only the wedding that I care about, not at all. All those programmes represent the worst and the horrible side of it all: getting married because it is nice to throw a party and spend money and be a bitch to everyone who tries to change your mind about the colors of the flowers. Sometimes I really wonder if those people even care about their future husband or wife or do they just do it to entertain themselves. And to get gifts.

Allright, I want to pick a nice dress and choose the colors of the flowers and make everything perfect. But above all that, I want the lifelong support from someone by your side. If it ever came to that, I could even give up all of the glorious elements and just say "I do" in sweatpants in a pub. Or well.... that would require an emergency. Whatever, I guess my point is clear enough. What matters the most, is the deeper meaning of it all. What you promise to each other is worth everything. Basically the wedding party is only for enjoying the time with families and friends and celebrating love. "Only"... yeah. I guess that is all you could ask and hope for.

This is a subject I could talk about for hours, but I guess I'd better leave out all my wedding visions etc. It would be a looooooong post ;D Finally, I just want to say that if and when you reach that point where you declare "till death do us part" (or whatever it is, in Finnish it is not quite the same, that's just the most famous form I know from the movies), you can rejoice with your whole heart: you won. And the prize lasts for a lifetime. 

Now we can listen to some good music watching life through pink glasses and not caring about the problems of reality.
