Love isn't blind. It is pure. It isn't naïve, just innocent.
I always thought of love as a curse since my heart got broken almost four years ago. I had this fear of commitment too as I saw my parents' separation. But what I didn't realize is how things are different with everyone. Having a bad experience doesn't mean you're life has no meaning left, or that you stop believing in happiness.
I was almost going in that direction too. But fortunately, my loved ones helped me keep the faith. And it was all worth it. Love knocked on my head at a time I wasn't expecting it; when I didn't even wanted to think about it. All it took was just on random message and my life got turned upside down. At first, it seemed like everything was crumbling and falling apart. When I tried to be happy and be myself, something or the other would emerge as a mountain in front of me. But I didn't give in. I fought, and even though this was a bumpy ride, I still won the race.
Wade's entry into my tumbling life was a blessing in disguise. I didn't believe in him at first, let alone trust him. However, through time, I was shown what is right for me. It didn't always have to be perfect, but it belonged to me. It was made for me; for us. Our paths had to merge at some point because that was written in our fates. It was destined and I have no complaints. I will always be thankful for that moment when I first talked to him. Music has been our language of love, and it will continue to be.
Today marks two years of me being his girlfriend and the last day too. Today is the day when we unite officially, tying the know of togetherness and eternal love as each other's better halves. It's unnerving and gives me chills to think back on our journey to this day. How we went from strangers to workers to lovers. To be honest, I doubted if I'll ever get married as finding the right person seemed fretful. But little did I know that that right person was on his way to me already. The moment I was about to give up on love, Wade slipped into my Instagram DM; changing my life forever and for the good.
I reminisce the beautiful moments of us as I walk through the long aisle with dad. A big smile spreads over my lips as I get a glimpse of my soon-to-be husband at the end. I know he is in the traditional black tuxedo, looking handsome as ever. But seeing him from a closer view will be a very different feeling. While I amble patiently with my hand wrapped around dad's arm, I glance towards the front where my mom wipes some happy tears with a bright smile on her face. Behind her stands Dr. Louis who happens to enjoy mom's company a lot lately. Mom recovered from the minor tumor condition a year ago but continued talking to Dr. Louis. And I don't mind it, at all. I love that my mother found her happiness and a wise partner. I will always support her decision to move on with life and live for herself.
Beside mom is Cheryll with a slightly taller Liam grinning at me. My veil does limit me to have a clear view but I know that dimpled smile that mirrors mine. Cara, being my Maid of Honor, stood right behind the spot where I will be standing. Following her were Tori, Lexi, Kim, and Daisy. Alongside Cara was standing my now-married best friend, Ben, as his husband captured pictures of us all from the front row. I remember during Ben's wedding last year when Cara and I were his 'Best Women', it was then that I decided to make my own rules. I added 'Best Man' to my list too. This was my wedding and I have the right to make it special the way I want. Wade supported my choice without a hitch.
