My best friend is counting day towards the big day on Saturday next week. I feel the pressures and all the dramas evolving the preparation of his best day in this life. I shared the same experience almost 11 years ago when I made such a risky decision to marry the love of my Life. Now, i know it worth all the time and efforts invested in that particular day.
There is no options in taking time to know our partners well before walking the aisle and utter those few words..."I DO" for the rest of your life.There is no rushing into the altar for a wedding day, we need to pray hard for the same...otherwise you will end up living with an enemy or a strange till death do you part.
As a dedication, i would wish to share below lyrics-Its Not Easy from Lucky Dube (RIP) which i found are clicking some senses when it comes to relationships and subsequently marriage issues though am not a reggae critic as such.
ITS NOT EASY-LUCKY DUBE (Rip)
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama I'm getting married
I could hear her voice on the other side of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
She said son did you take time to know her
I said mama she's the best
But today it hurts me so
To go back to mama and say mama I
'm getting divorced
Oh I'm getting divorced
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would (x2) it hurts me so mama
mama said to me
Chorus:
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it (x3)
You'll be happy again
I remember in church
When the preacher read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful and innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be (x2)
Now I'm hurting
I remember when I held you
By the hand preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in you mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said was not something that was with you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would
Mama said to me
Chorus (till fade) It's not easy...
Best of wishes to my best friend and all who are planning to do likewise soon!
