Too
many wedding bells have started to ring, and I get excited when I hear the
announcements. After a few “wow”s and “congratulations!”, I get down to know
the more interesting part. No no, it’s not the preparations! It’s the story of
the couple – their story, the tale of their lives, which I am sure each of them
will narrate to their grandchildren in great detail and delight. Of course,
each version will make the hero look/sound better and each version will be
better than all the previous ones! But, they will have a story, and a turning
point which would have changed these couples’ lives forever! And what more fun
than to listen to all these stories over chat and phone calls…
Carefully
avoiding all of the personal details, these stories that I have got to know so
far range from college-love to post-college-realizations, to
love-at-first-sight and love-at-a-matrimony-site… each one of them whole and
honest, and shining like crazy diamonds with love!
A
dear friend of mine had once said, “go ahead, make your own story!”. These
words ring in my ears even today. (Of course, he is talking about making your
story of Life!, at a much broader perspective.) He is also the genius at
narrating weddings and at describing with utmost precision the emotions that
pour out when you see a dear friend get married and embark on the journey of
love. I wish I could make you read each one of those blog posts that he has
written! But, I have a better plan. I will make you read the one he writes soon
after either of us gets married – whoever’s happens first that is.
As
for now, I just wish all these people a lot of happiness together!
