After attending like the 5th weddings in 2008, last night shall literally be my last this year. I love attending wedding ceremonies, witnessing the newly wed, often my good friends, recite the divine wedding vows, promising into the unknown future "Till Death Do Us Part".
It takes zillion of courage.
I only knew the bride and not the groom in last night's wedding banquet. She is my soul mate's ex-boy friend's best friend's ex girl friend. It is quite unbelievable when both of us sat there last night and thought about it over fine wine, particularly when all our memory of the bride is associated with her ex, my ex, her ex...in other words, a prehistoric time dating back to over 2100 days ago!
Last night, we were being invited to witness her most courageous moment in her life - to share truthfulness to herself and be true to her partner; dare to say how she feels; dare to express what she thinks in front of all. Dare to promise to live, thrive and grow together, honouring her truth and finding the love within to share that truth, until death do them part.
The wedding signified the ending of a chapter - A chapter full of fond memories of the pre-historic days.
The wedding now invites us into a new chapter - A chapter filled with hopefully more joy and let come what may.
