A picture worth a thousand words: On His Wedding Day

Dress in a fine silky white, silhouette and sleeveless Bridal Gown with a Groom wearing a black tuxedo suit with a double breasted coat standing next to each other while holding each others hand. That's what I saw in this picture. I feel happy for them because that would be their new beginnings. Planning a marriage is a life long decision, a lifetime commitment. You can't say, I love this man, so I have/want to get married. Not all love story has a happy ending. Not all couples who got married ended happily ever after.

This is my own rendition/version of this story.

The sound of the bird chirping outside of the window pane. I think, it's already morning. The mix of fried food, coffee and the breathe of fresh air. Hmmm.. Nothing's compare.

"Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep."

Sipping a black coffee in the morning takes all my worries away. I enjoyed my breakfast today.

Ring. Ring!... A telephone call!.
"Hello? Yeah, I'll be there in an hour. Just wait for me, Bye!

This is the usual day for me as a Photographer. A busy day to take some pictures of couples on their Wedding Day.. What about me?.. I thought. When can I get married? Sigh.

Got my keys, locked the door house and quickly drove the car before getting stacked up with the traffic.

I am the person who believed that pictures speak a thousand words. That being a Wedding Photographer tells you that, you are sometimes a matchmaker, a cupid. Letting two souls bind as one. This thing called, marriage.

Arrived safely at the venue. Looking for the Bride and the Bridesmaid. Taking pictures of them while the time keeps on ticking. I still have 1hr left to be ready before we headed to the Church.

I accompanied the bride in front of the Church Door. The sudden remorse, I felt when I was in this Church three years ago. I was a Runaway Bride. I was afraid that time. I had my what if's. I was so doubtful. I loved him, but loving someone doesn't guarantee of any assurance. I was a coward.

Back to the reality. The door opens and the song starts to play.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

In the back of my mind. "It was me" wearing this gown. "It was me" her Bride to be.

((((END)))

To stay in love and being in love. Marriage is rekindled through sharing similar values that keep a relationship together. ... Trust each other. ...
Threats you a family and friends like your other half. ...
You envision a future together. ...
You are financially ready.

It takes courage, and trust to get married. Once married it is not easy to get out without being harmed or hurt. Forever can be a very long time. The photographer made a choice back then, most likely it was the right thing to do.

Thank you for sharing pic1000. 👌

Yes, it's true. Marriage is easy, but commitment is something that is hard to build between a wife and a husband. Not all couples can justify the word "commit"...

Thank you for the opportunity ☺

Marriage needs adequate plannings and financial backups
I hope it always ends successful

Just wondering why some people thinks that marriage is a solution to their problem? Others, lead to divorce and separation.
