Love
A few weeks ago I went to a good friend of mines wedding...
I've been to weddings in the past, I've been invited to weddings to which I never attended but this wedding was different and I was completely psyched to go because I knew it was REAL. So often you see/hear about women planning this large extravagant wedding, paying thousands of dollars for one day...a few hours instead of focusing on what the wedding actually is about. This wedding was not that type of wedding...the couple had been together for years, they really knew each other and did not get married until BOTH were ready, they didn't get married because one wanted to do it so badly that the other submitted just to make their partner happy (and/or shut the fuck up). Her wedding was small (friends and family only not everyone they've ever met) and it was PERFECT. The focus wasn't on the dress or the location or the cake or the food (though all of it was FAB.U.LOUS. let me tell ya) the focus was on the love these two people had for each other. Seeing my good friend walk down the aisle to meet her husband, seeing the look on his face when they said their vows, seeing her say 'I love you' as they danced their first dance as husband and wife (to which he sung to her...too cute)...it was all so very genuine and beautiful and refreshing to see.
I remember watching Tyler Perry's Why did I get Married Too? and hearing a quote from the character played by Louis Gosset Jr and he said (and I'm paraphrasing) "My heart aches for these young people, wanting and searching for love..." And that quote (though most of Tyler Perry's movies and ideas are complete bullshit) is complete truth as I know I've been guilty of it myself so I think that is the reason that some people get married so quickly or before they REALLY know a person or before they are REALLY in love, they get married because they think that's what they are supposed to do at that point in their relationship, or they get married because they want the experience, or because they think if they get married it solidifies them as an adult or a numerous amount of other reasons...I know people who have went to weddings and said 'I want a wedding like this' I went to this wedding and said 'I want a relationship like this'.
So congrats my friend, everything was absolutely PERFECT and I know you and the mister will live happily ever after.

At the end of the day, people have define relationships for themselves. I love weddings where it truly is about the union of two people who know love and know God because he is love. Amazing.
Kang, I came to your blog this morning to catch up with you, lol, (you know how we do) and I didnt expect to see this post!
You almost made my eyes tear up but ive never been a punk. But seriously I really appreciate this and the text message pep talk the day before the wedding about Dora at the function and whatever else that helped calm my nerves!
We have to get together soon to discuss life's events!
PS: I put some of the pics we took in Paris up.
@Monique: I feel sorry for some of these couples...it'll never last and they're too consumed with the "big day" that they don't even realize it.
@Myya: I teared up a little at the wedding but I ain't no punk B! But everything was beautiful! The love between you two was evident and I loved it! (Shoutout to your step mom for making a scene lmaooooooo). I saw the pics from the honeymoon, in a word...LOVELY!
