my internship started off pretty well (with the exception of 2 bitches in the department, but they don't matter so much). now is chinese ghost month, thus i have only been to 3 weddings so far.
1) bride and groom: dun wanna march in, dun wanna make speech. when we approached them before march-in, they looked so solemn and were not talking
2) only saw the groom rehearsing a song, but no emotions felt. n he looks super stressed!
3) bride and groom were quarreling
received another call today. this couple signed a contract but decided not to marry. tried to sell their package but still no one wants to buy it. instead of paying 100% for an unattended event, they decided to hold the banquet in the end.
and couples at the wedding show. signing just for the sake of extra perks. it seems like money is the main issue, not love.
this makes me wonder, does every couple end up being so unhappy? it is afterall, still a wedding banquet. did they marry the one they truly love? are they happy? what is a marriage to them? is money the practicality of a marriage? or should i say, the practicality of everything.
marriage is the union of two souls, the start of a new chapter of their lives together. a lifelong commitment that entails both selflessness and selfishness. a ceremony should be attended by those who give their true blessings, and such that can be felt throughout the room.
i always pictured every wedding couple to be very much in love, to look forward to the nitty gritty details of the wedding. i always pictured i wud help them along the way, with novelty for each couple i meet.
i am glad i got this internship, cos i realised mass duplicates of 4 themes all year round for 150 (stingy, unhappy) couples is something i dun wanna do, at least for the next 8 years of my life when i dun have kids. i might do this, when i have a family.
but as they always say, you never marry the one you love. i might just be like one of these i am talking about now. you never know.
