Getting married… Why / Why not?

They murmured, aren’t you too young to get married,

I simply mentioned- marriage won’t make me old…I’ll still be young!

They inquired, would I continue to study?

I’m entering into a new phase of life & not ending the old one.

Adding another responsibility to life, they advised me to think twice,

I voiced my thought: I think before taking a decision and not after taking it!

They asked me whether I took proper training to cook,

I laughed and said hey, I’m not a feeding machine.

They questioned if I am sure I can be a good wife,

I answered wives don’t come with a guarantee tag!!!

They further probed to ask if I can handle everything,

I philosophically conveyed, experience teaches us everything ;)

They assumed I would miss my bachelorette days,

I expressed my feelings, that coming days would carry a different charm.

I know life is going to take a 360 degrees turn

But I know it’s the most beautiful turn of my life

My dreams will no more remain just dreams…

They were curious whether I really know the man I’m getting married to,

I smiled…I’m still in the process of knowing him :)

Then how, how did I decide to get married?

I’m waiting for life to unfold into colors I haven’t imagined yet

They looked black and white…

They enquired whether we are settled,

I quickly responded: what will be the fun if we are settled?

They didn’t understand!

I said: I would like to grow with him

I would like to share his journey of growing

I would like him to share my journey of growing

Life isn’t that smooth…What if you fight?

We may love each other, fight with each other,

But at the end we may patch up, say sorry, forgive and forget…

What matters at the end is:

Love and respect in a relationship,

Caring attitude,

Smiling nature,

Helping hands,

Little surprises,

Eyes that convey feelings,

Sharing gestures,

Words that heal troubles,

Trust in each other,

And lots and lots of love to add happiness to life!!

Together we’ll make life lovable :)
