Earlier this week, I wrote a very lovey-dovey post about Gene and why I love him. It took people by surprise to see the sentimental side of me, which rarely makes a public appearance. It might not be a world known fact, but I am the biggest sucker for romance. Flowers, weddings, romantic comedies, love letters, I love all that crap! I have been feeling especially sappy because of all the recent weddings I "attended". The season was kicked off with a bang by William and Kate...
Anya & Zhenya were soon to follow.
Nine days later, Bella & Andrey tied the knot.
And last, but surely not least, we have arguably the most influential couple of all, the American version of William and Kate - Kim & Kris
As I watched the couples say their I do's, my eyes welled up with tears. There is something so special about a couple standing in front of their friends and family and declaring their love and commitment. During the ceremony, some giggled with innocence and joy, and others whispered sweet I love you's. One thing that really stood out was the expression on the parent's faces. They beamed from ear to ear as their little girls and boys said, "I do". It made me fast forward and think about the day I hopefully get to see Gene walk Violet down the isle as she prepares to say her "I do's". The thought terrified me and thrilled me at the same time. Although mostly it just made me sad because I realized a day will come when she will grow up and leave us and a whole different chapter in our (and her) life will begin. Ok, the depressing portion of this blog post is complete, so here are some funny quotes about marriage:
"You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to"
"We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops."
"Marriage is nature’s way of keeping us from fighting with strangers."
"Why are wives more dangerous than the Mafia? The mafia wants either your money or life… wives want both!"
