More than 90% of people in the world has watched Cinderella. Even if you haven’t, you have heard about how the story goes. I can’t start writing the story now, but long and short of it is that a wealthy prince falls in love with a girl who is not so rich and they live happily ever after. So please try and go watch it. It is a lovely story.
So the story is a fairy tale story which a lot of ladies dream of. They assume it can come to pass as if they were the ones involved. The expensive wedding gown, the bouquet made by the world expensive creator, the bridal train and everything they will wear. The number of guests to come, the food and drinks, the hall to be used and on and on and not to forget the expensive decorations, what a wedding everyone dreams. Such weddings has to be showcased on TV, magazines, all social media platoon, heard on radio, it has to be the talk of the town. Then, you see how parents will behave, they will be proud, boastful, look down on people, misbehave and more. They begin to show off in a way that is not good and will make people not to come close to them. The parents involved feel on top of the world, they feel more powerful than they could imagine.
Such wedding attracts a lot of attention, both negative and positive. The positive way is the union of both families, mostly the couples. The happy bringing together of the relatives, kids on the way, the joy in planning the wedding, the excitement, colors, flowers, lights, music( you must dance at the wedding), the foods and drinks to eat, and more that is involved in a wedding. It has to include all the high and mighty. What a fairy tale wedding we all want.
So after all the beauty of the wedding, all the guests are gone, food and drinks has been eaten, the day is over, tell me, what next? I am not against a fairy tale wedding, I do want a fairy tale wedding for myself. But after everything, how will you cope? Will the fairy tale wedding have a sweet beginning in the marriage? Will the flow of money still continue to come in? Will there be a reason for a divorce or seperation between the couple? Will there actually be a happy ending, Fairy tale wedding is not something you put yourself in and later want to leave, NAH, you can’t do that. Fairy tale is a dream, its of the mind and of the eyes, imaginations which could come to pass or not. Some people force it, just like a competition between celebrities, families, school mates, friends, siblings, the government and on and on. What is your achievement or gain after the Fairy tale wedding? I sincerely hope both parties are meant for each other. Why waste a whole of money, millions of money, traveling to Paris or Dubai or America to get all the necessary resources for the wedding, flight tickets? Is it worth it? Will you be happy at the end of the day? Hope the marriage will last forever?
A wedding is not for competition, not to know who is who but a long time commitment made by God. You have to wake up from your dream of having a fairy tale wedding. Don’t put pressure on the wedding preparations. Whatever you can afford, use it for the wedding. Also, think of the main issues in the marriage you are entering into than the too much money spent on the wedding things. You need to be happy and fulfilled. Marriage is a long time investment, think properly before making this decisions.
Are you dreaming of having an all expensive fairy tale wedding, think well first and don’t push it. Let it come without pressure. Plan well and you will have the best wedding ever and a happy ever marriage after.
THANK YOU.
