The Day You'll Say "I Do"

We all dreamed, hoped and wished to find that unique person who would complete the missing pieces in our lives. The one person who would brighten our darkest moments. Someone who would accept us beyond our faults. And finally, someone who would walk with us side by side to the unfamiliar road destiny has set-up for us.

We all have different ideas when it comes to weddings. But, one thing is certain. It is the most ecstatic day for the bride and groom. Everything  is carefully designed to look elegant and perfect, from  the whole event to its tiniest details. Each piece  you select is meticulously scrutinized until you're satisfied that nothing will go wrong. You may get overwhelmed, will eventually panic and release your frustrations on the people around you. But, in the end, it will always be the most remarkable day of your life. Even if it doesn’t go as planned.

Alas! On that special day, when two euphoric people finally decide to dress beyond expectations, find that special place where the two of them could share and invite dozens of witnesses of a love everyone has dreamed of. The moment of truth, a day wherein two people finally exchange their deepest emotions as they promise to fulfil each other’s desires. 

On that day, as the clock ticks and the day goes smoothly, you’ll close your eyes and wish that time freezes. You will want to take that moment to contemplate every single detail of that day and maybe you would ask for more. For this is the day that almost every person imagined when they were kids. A dream that one day, a girl and boy will grow up, find each other and finally share their warmest vows.

We all love weddings, it is one of the most memorable moments of our lives. We stand as witnesses. As we watch this couple, we can’t help ourselves, but fantasize. That someday, sooner or later we are standing on that stage, the center of everyone’s attention and the most gorgeous of them all.   

In a deeper thought, we ask ourselves, what lies behind a perfect wedding? Is it having the most extravagant event of them all? Or is it about the greatest act one could ever watch? For me, it doesn’t really matter how much one had spent that day. It is all about the feelings two people share. Weddings are a man’s way of re-enacting their love story. It’s not about showmanship. It is about letting the world know how much you care and support each other yesterday, today and tomorrow. A simple wedding is enough as long as at the end of the day you look at each other’s eyes with the deepest sincerity. Both of you will smile and feel confident that whatever challenges may occur, you are there for each other not because of what people might think, but because you said, “I do.”
