To Do It Or Not

Every so often, a man waits at the last moment to realize that he is not ready to get married. Staring at the walls of the church, his mouth went bone dry and he was all sweaty, while he tried to figure out why he had agreed to let someone else make the most important decision in his life.

Could I run away? I did not think so. The reason why was sitting at the front pew, wearing her new red dress, smiling widely and bending her silvery black head to chat unintelligibly to her neighbor. Excited, happy, and not a little exhausted with what all these Herculean efforts to arrange her eldest son’s wedding; my mother.

The groom may lament the fact that he has to face all the anxiety of the marriage ceremony. At this point he will be sensitive to what others do or say in front of him.

Young people would rather not be tied up in marriage when they are still below 40. They don’t regard it as important as their elders do. For them, as long as they are in a relationship, they can plan to settle down later when they decided to slow down in life. Their parents however do not share the same view as these young people. They will tend to push them into tying the knot. More often than not, the youngsters have to go along with their parent’s decision.

Until he got married and have kids of his own; his mom won’t stop pestering him. Other than wanting to see his mother happy, he just wanted her to stop pestering him.

To back out of the arrangement was out of the question. Everything was set including the most intricate details of design and decoration. Painstaking drudgery was completed so it would be a waste to just abandon it. First, going through the photo taking session was unbearable enough particularly when the two had to force smile all the way through. Then it was the dreadful shopping list. How exhausting, he felt as if he was shopping for the entire armed forces. Actually that would have been so much easier! For god sake no one would care what the theme of the cake should be.

You are right, dear. Nobody notices them if they are there, but if they are not, then EVERYBODY will notice. Trust me, I am experienced.”

Of course when you think about it, it seems reasonable to actually pay attention to every detail. To look her best, brides are inclined to overspend. Looking her best on the historical day would be an accomplishment on her part but a disaster for the one who has to foot the bill.

But nothing can top the shock that came two days ago, my bride’s gowns and accessories. Down to the last earring and bit of lace, they simply took my breath away – without me seeing the actual paraphernalia; the bill was enough! Could clothes actually cost so much? She would not be wearing it for long anyway!

“Trump, tum, ta, ta ” I was jarred out of my wild imaginings as the organ pealed out the dreaded song – “Here comes .”

Nonetheless, when the groom sees his bride for the first time in the ceremony, he would forget about all the troubles he went through. He might even feel excited.

A man is usually awed by the beauty of his bride. Only at that moment do they realize why the real reason why they had agreed to the whole thing.

Three steps away, she lifted her gaze to me. I saw the uncertainty and doubt in her shining eyes replaced by calm tranquility. That singular moment transformed my entire life. In a flash of understanding, I saw that she was giving her life, her trust, her love to me. and how could I return any less?

I held out my hand. She took it. My fingers closed around hers. This was it – our choice, our commitment.

I had the answer now. A prayer rose in my heart as we turned to face the holy presence. I would protect her and cherish her. I would share her ups and downs, and share mine. There would be times we would be together, and times we would be separate. But we would respect each other’s space and feelings. We would quarrel, yes, maybe over the smallest things, but we would work it out and make it up. We would be a family – we would have adorable children, we would learn and grow together towards our shared future together.

I could not believe my good fortune. I loved her, and she loved me, and that was all that mattered.

At that instance, the word I do came straight from his heart.
