Of Weddings and Memories

I am a person who is so fascinated with weddings. I would always browse sites, magazines, blogs, etc that deal with it. I also thought of having a career in line with weddings (maybe sooner or later it would be realized, who knows...). I don't know, I feel happy whenever a friend or a colleague tells story about wedding preparations - scouting for suppliers, attending bridal fairs, etc. I feel their excitement that I would want to hear even the tiniest of details and couldn't contain my sharing of ideas, resources and personal opinion about this and that.

Recently, I found myself browsing a friend's site about their wedding preparations with so much gusto. And without a doubt I feel the excitement for them. It's as if I was brought down memory lane having my own wedding preps, mine wasn't that long ago, though. But what is it about weddings that made me so at home with it, you may ask. Well, honestly I don't know for sure...maybe it's the event per se, from the teary-eyed bride walking down the aisle, to the solemn exchange of vows, to the lively reception, to the laughters and tears during speech...I really don't know for sure...maybe it is the memory(ies) attached to each wedding - pre-during-post. Come to think of it, even if the couple is a family or a close friend, or simply someone you just know, the fact that you shared their special day means you are an instant part of the memory that they will treasure for the rest of their lives (hopefully).

So to all of you who have decided to tie the knot, congratulations and best wishes...savor every little detail of it and treasure the memories into your hearts... :)
