Wedding Bells
Marge is getting married. At first I thought it would probably be a joke, but is true, one of my best friends, a person who basically doesn't believe in legal unions, is going to set her compromise before god (or before catholic's god) and before a judge...
Why are there some people who need to do that? why do we want that big wedding, the reception, the dress, the gifts and everything? what can we find in there, in that ritual?
Those are the kind of questions I always make myself when some couple anounnces me they getting married. I'm just not able to understand. We already have the love there, the relationship have been completely developed, why do we need the judge and the blessing? Why is the power of a society and of our family so strong that we feel we need to satisfy them?
Don't miss the idea. I love weddings, I love parties and I celebrate theyve taken the decision in such spontaneous way, it makes the news sound better. Of course I'm gonna be there, I'm gonna dance and have a great time with all my old friends, but since I'm convinced that a couple have so little posibilities to remain together, it seems rare to me to say: ¨congratulations¨
I don't know how to explain it. The thing is that when you get married it looks like you putting a deadline into your relationship. I know it should be the other way around, butI like more the concept of living together without the rule because something is unfinished and we don't have the top of what we're able to do. And if we split out is not such a big deal in legal terms. Emocionally the pain is just the same but i feel that marriage is stablish stuff, no excitement at all, like starting to get old in certain way.
Like I said, I'm going to be there, I'm gonna be part of the process and I want my friend to be happy because she is doing this without any obligation. And that's so fucking brave.
