sunshine through the fog

we're in the midst of preparing for ours (or rather, gearing up for it...)

 

meanwhile i receive another 2 wedding invitations. so this year i've got 3 weddings to go to. pretty evenly spread out, i must say - feb, mar, jun. and the year's just beginning... this is a good year for marriage i guess.  

 

i used to believe that marriage is but a piece of paper, a legality, a social ceremony. not very important. but more than 2 years of being together, a big part of which has us living together, an incident in the past month has shown me what this legality means to others. it's a silly little thing. nobody means to hurt anyone. but silly me still got hurt. makes sense? probably not. but because it's so silly i don't want to repeat it and remind myself / anyone else of it.

 

let's just say i finally feel the need for marriage. the need to be legit.
