Craziness

Ok, so I've spent the day at a wedding, yes the bride was stunning, yes the groom cried (and no I'm ot going to make fun of him).....but what struck me wasn't the love they share or the future they are going to attempt to build together or even how happy they both seemed today, maybe it's just the cynic me but weddings really do bring out the worst in people......... no matter how young or old

Their 2yr old threw a tantrum of note and that was before 9am, although this one I will give him, I'd also have thrown one if I suddenly had to be dressed in a suit and tie on the whim of someone else (sorry mommy but cruel). The groom's sister in law was angling for a fight with her mother in law simply because her 2 kids wanted to sit with granny and not with her. Hell they even had a guest who arrived late and found the gates locked throw a total wobble and leave (this is Jozi lady ...locking the gates is the only sensible thing to do or are you living in a dream world). As you walked through the tables all you heard was .....this about the food....that about the venue......why about the seating plan ......couldn't they have about something else......... why did they ask them about the poor this that or the next person........I will even admit to my own I would have done this or that differently moment (not that it was voiced to anyone), even the venue owners tried their luck and tried to screw the couple for more money..... on their wedding day nogal............but despite all this going on around them they seemed genuinely happy and I even revised my earlier notion from countdown till one of them leaves to maybe just maybe they do have a shot and will actually make it................. and here's holding thumbs that they do beat the odds and become the one in what ever the statistic is that does make it.

It also reaffirmed something I used to tease my mom with years ago and that is probably the route I'd go if I ever found that elusive somebody who would make me want to give up my freedom and self....................I will have a braai and drop into conversation an innocent "oh by the way we got hitched", and it will probably still bring out the worst in someone but till that day comes I guess I will continue to go to weddings in the hope that someone will make it and become the exception to the rule.........until then I will continue to


Live, Laugh, Learn and even Love
