I still wonder why the concept of "happily ever after" does exist and in most cases it is always taken in reference to the romantic sagas and escapades.
On second thoughts it only exists in the suspension of disbelief, rhetorically speaking I am referring to the fantasy world of fairy tales and cinema, although the cinema world is changing its perception of the concept, the truth is a far cry from all the imagery and no I have no intention of spoiling the anticipation of anyone yearning a fairy tale happening, it's just that I overhear the emcee telling the groom at a recent wedding that with it, comes 3 rings; the engagement ring, the wedding ring and finally the cherry on the cake in the form of 'Suffer –RING'. True I think, as love is hard to find in the time of money, as money gets even sexier than sex itself, and talk about marriage is just shrugged off, as the institution seems to lose ground day by day but all of this in the real life and not reel one. Point taken to which I must add that probably the slow waltz dance the bride and groom danced too was really good and groom was enjoying himself probably thinking this is the last time he has an upper hand in this relationship.
Now talking all of this is making me think and off course making you think, WTF where is this all coming from, even as my relationship status shouts our single aloud, I'd say it's coming from all around me, what I see, hear and learn from. Many a times I've played a listener, hearing out all my friends say when it comes to their relationships etc, and I have come to this understanding that it takes more than an effort to make things happen, more than trust to keep doubt at bay, and above all more of We to keep it going. Everyone fancies falling in love and the romance that comes thereafter, but after that its takes more than a serendipity to make it last.
It's that time of the year when everyone is in a joyful and celebratory mood and the occasion other than the festivities is the 'big fat wedding' and I already know 5 couples who are all set to get hitched in the anticipation of the 'Happily Ever After' tag, to them and the rest of the world I'd just like to share a very interesting line that I came across and which probably should sum up and lead all to the Happily ever after… is that the art of marriage is not just in finding the right person, but being the right partner'
