"Ek Haseen Galti hum bhi karenge......"
In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have
a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies - we will
come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that,
as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence. To our knowledge we add
our willingness to embark on the journey of getting to know him, of coming to see her, even so wonderfully more.
In promising always, we promise each other time. We promise to exercise our love, to stretch it large enough to embrace the
unforeseen realities of the future. We promise to learn to love beyond the level of our instincts and inclinations, to love
in foul weather as well as good, In hard times as well as when we are exhilarated by the pleasures of romance.
We change because of these promises. We shape ourselves according to them; we live in their midst and live differently
because of them. We feel protected because of them. We try some things and resist trying others because, having promised,
we feel secure. Marriage, the bond, makes us free to see, to be, to love. Our souls are protected; our hearts have come home."
And families friends and relatives come together to tie a knot :)
Love & Blessings
