“You don’t marry someone you can live with – you marry the person who you cannot live without…”
While going through something on the internet today I found this quote, have heard it since I was a kid, but the chords to it struck me now. So after going round and round about love, I thought to myself to write this time about this beautiful feeling of walking down the aisle, for a change!
Since I was 4 and I realized what weddings are, I always have butterflies in my tummy thinking marriages and the whole feeling of that day in your life when you’re the most important person on earth. And I would be honest to the core if I confess that getting married has been my most cherished dreams of all.
BRIDE – just the word is enough to ooze that feeling of being exceptionally beautiful! Its love, and then its LOVE... The latter somehow being a more profound expression of what I term as a commitment of life. My badima always said that marriages are made in heaven, but I secretly used to wish at that time if I could say it loud that I would still find that guy here on earth! The smell of fresh mehendi, the hand full of choodas, the carefully placed vermilion, or maybe just the most elegant white dress with flowers in hand, the blush of a veil, the glittering tiara, the charms of being the newest in the family, the millions of eyes watching your every step, and then that one hand that perfectly fits into yours and wants to have you next to him for a lifetime. More than just the ceremonies, it’s the feeling that circulates and revolves itself between two people who mark the beginning of a new life.
Every time I asked people what they like about weddings I heard about clothes, food, the celebration times, the bonding… and a lot more… but my favorite thing about the wedding is when the girl would walk down the aisle, all dressed up and the guy would look at her for just a moment and feel that he is going to be with the most beautiful woman on earth; and that time his heart would just skip a beat wishing that he could make this a timeless memory… that feeling cannot be put into words, but those who have felt it must be knowing what I mean!
Well, I’ve not been married to my “knight in the shining armor” as yet, but I think that walk to the aisle would be the second best journey I would be making in my life, the first ofcourse being the perfect life with my soul mate. Soul-mate, its again such a mystical word! A person whom you find to be your twin soul, a bonded soul that was meant to be in your life. He was made, rather tailor-made for you. After all, isn’t it a wonderful feeling to realize that yes, someone somewhere is made ‘just’ for you…!!!
