Weddings

There was a certain wedding early this morning in a country far, far away. While I’m happy for the couple, I remember how the couple in the last “royal wedding” turned out.

It’s fine to celebrate weddings, but one’s wedding day is just day one of a lifetime journey. In spite of the jitters some couples feel before their wedding, it will arguably be the easiest day of their marriage. When the admiring crowds have all gone home, the real work begins.

I can’t imagine how much harder marriage must be when working under the expectations of an entire country.
