Getting Married thrills everyone, especially girls in their twenties. Boys are less serious about it, it simply happens to them.
Two months before when I landed the Hawaii states, USA I was totally unconcerned about my marriage. I am 26 but never ever the thought of getting married passed by my mind. Affairs had been always sidelined from either part, hence never reached till the stage of marriage. It is not that I am insensitive and never feel the pain of being abandoned or abandoning someone. It was more like the need of hour.
But I was moved this morning. When I saw a marriage ceremony happening in a nearby church, it was somewhat different experience for me. I had always seen this in movies, for the first time I witnessed an English wedding in real. I saw the groom in white flowing shirt, velvet waistcoat with silver embroidering and a blue and black velvet cloak with black pants and riding boots. The bride was wearing a white gown with elaborate green, purple and gold in her dress. A big Wedding cake which was heart shaped symbolizing their love. People sang the wedding song, showered them with flowers.
The Groom held her in his arms and they kissed gently. He lifted her and put her in the big limousine waiting for them outside church and left for their honeymoon destination.
It was like a fairy tale happening in front of me.
I thought for a while “Is it the right time for me to get married”?
I remembered the priest saying this white color signifies your purity. The white gown of the bride, white cake, and white tie of the groom everything talks about the purity…..the purity of..???
I glanced at my past…..I could not find any traces of purity……..Still all the past relationship’s silhouettes were there………
Still I need to attain the purity of thoughts….purity of full dedication…purity of soul…to be with her for entire life……………………………..
