Marriage and wedding may have the same meaning in any dictionary but I would like to introduce you to what I think about the two words .
Marriage as anyone would define is a union of two souls who take vows "till death do us apart"
Weddings on the other hand mean the same but I would like to make a slight change ..weddings now-a-days i would say is more about having an extravagant ceremony, more like show of wealth and status...(which suggests y i titled this post weddings are made in hotels) and can't believe there are shows like the big fat wedding and likes ,which do nothing but make you feel bad ...not that I am saying its not good to have a lavish wedding but I feel there are millions of people who don't even get a morsel of food.Weddings are a once in a lifetime opportunity and it should be made memorable coz its the only day you get to lead a fairytale life .How many Of these couples end up living happily ever after like the happy endings of fairy tales..I know life isn't a fairy tale but statistics state that divorce cases have increased over the past few years...are "We" the younger generation so clueless about our lives or are we so caught up with our lives and careers that we have no time to make the right choice .Life in a bustling city does make it difficult .But do we as young people understand the importance of the age old institution called "marriage".With more and more money pouring in and youngsters earning too much too early marriages have now become weddings in the best hotels.Weddings have now become more about the dress ,the bridesmaids ,the venue ,cuisines rather than the love of the couple or the presence of near and dear ..Has love lost its essence in marriage? I do not know ..Maybe some do fall in love .........
Never marry a man for money. You'll have to earn every penny!!
ReplyDeleteLove is the delusion that one man or woman differs from another.
ReplyDeleteWedding is adjudged successful if the couple is able to have a beautifully dressed bridal train, the bride wear good and flamboyant gown and the groom a well sewn suit, both drive in expensive borrowed cars, provide costly wines and give delicious food at the reception. But successful marriage is measured by how skillful you are in managing marital relationship, keeping your home in peace, putting your children under control, training them in the ways of the lord, and so on.
