when is the wedding?they have got to be kidding me. i mean, granted that i spent a week or so at my boyfriend's hometown with his family over the break, that does not amount to a wedding preparation, does it?
back in college, i thought marriage is an overrated idea. one professor of mine back then comes to my mind. he used to say that a person who gets married is committing himself/herself to an eternity of insanity. well, i don't know if he still believes himself to be sane since he already got married.
i somehow did a double take on the marriage-is-an-overrated idea when i met my guy. i'm not saying he was able to convince me but that i was able to convince myself that if marrying him meant being insane by his side (even if it's just for a few days given that they are always on call to serve the Mother Land), then that would be all right with me.
however, i am not planning to get married anytime soon. i still have a lot of accepting to do (to be part of the military way of life is something which requires wholehearted commitment because of the degree of hardship that it will take to keep the marriage alive).
i could only say KUDOS to those military wives who have held on to their marriage vows. their strength is something i look up to and hope to emulate.
until such time that i could trust myself with the cares and responsibilities such as those which are carried by military wives, then i can say i am indeed ready to enter eternal insanity.
