marriage and weddings but weddings mostly are a reckoning. a reckoning of relationships with his family, with your family, with him... maybe even with yourself...
in a social gathering many couples agreed that they wouldn't have a wedding again. why? it's childish! they mused. is it?
the wedding is theirs, the marriage is yours, i kept hearing as the wedding planning began. and it was true. or at least partly. the marriage could be theirs as well. we'll have to see...
how much do you assert yourself with a new family? how much does it portend for the future?
would i do it again? have a big wedding? not likely. could i have done it any differently? i don't think i could've.
like the end of bad relationships, i feel like i went through a war. where everything comes to a head. a meeting of cultures and personalities and traditions but mostly personalities. and by the end of it i was exhausted and broke and disappointed and a little less innocent or childlike or dreamy.
another induction into adulthood.
