Happily Ever After

"When you find somebody you love, all the way through, and she loves you --even with your weaknesses, your flaws, everything starts to click into place. And if you can talk to her, and she listens, if she makes you laugh, and makes you think, makes you want, makes you see who you really are, and who you are is better, just better with her, you'd be crazy not to want to spend the rest of your life with her." -Nora Roberts

All the wedding-ness has definitely got to me! Just finished 3 out of the 4 books of the Bride Quartet series by Nora Roberts. I have to say the plot and language of the books are all very similar. I could pretty much predict the second and third book after reading the first one. However, each book has a different protagonist and a different kind of love story. The general plot is[SPOILER ALERT]they meet, hook up, be in a "situation" not really defining the relationship but at the same time sleep with each other. Then they have a moment and realize that they truly love the other person and cannot live without them, gets engaged in the span of couple months and plan their wedding. But when you think about it, the chances of a romance happening like that is probably 1 out of 100. And the success rate of the marriage is probably even less. But maybe..just maybe that there is one lucky couple that lives happily ever after.

Weddings and Marriage is such a happy thing. Two people fall in love and they want to spend the rest of their life with each other. But it is also scary. For the rest of your life, you are going to be with this person, everyday to love them, care for them, be there for them. Ever girl growing up imagined how their wedding would be, because its the day where they get to have everything their way. That was how we thought when we were younger. That was how I use to think. I planned every detail of my wedding, " I want this and that""I want dolphins and have it at the beach". But now putting myself in those shoes, its scary to imagine walking down the aisle and give the rest of your life to that one person. Who knows what would happen after this day. There's a possibility of divorce, or a very unhappy marriage. To those who are getting married, I give you props to be able to make that commitment and know that he/ she is the person you want to be with for the rest of your life and having the courage to go where your heart tells you. I envy those that has truly find their soul mates and has taken that leap of faith. To geniuely love someone with all your heart and not taken each other for granted, and to give them everything that you have and more. For them to believe that happily ever after does exist.

Love unconditionally,
