My mom's cousin is getting married tomorrow. It'll be the first wedding I've been to in... something, like, 12 years? A long time. I'm wearing a peach dress with frills -- frills are in, apparently. I know, you're so excited.
Enough digression! My mother and I picked out a beautiful wedding card for the bride and groom. It reads:
"If you treat each other kindly, with compassion and with trust, and always let your tender feelings show, if you laugh together often and enjoy the time you share, but give each other space to learn and grow, if you understand your differences, respecting who you are and put each other first in all you do, your marriage will be beautiful, a reason to feel proud, and a special source of love your whole lives through."
AND THAT'S the god damned truth. That passage, verbatim, is what will make any relationship work. So, work towards that, all you lovers of the world! I'm going to read this passage at my wedding... which will be MONUMENTAL... PINNACLE. In your life. If you're invited. You probably will be.
