The Vows

Today is the big day, my best friend's wedding and I'm the Maid of Honor. It is still incredibly hard to believe that she really is getting married. Getting married is any cultural is a huge step and really big deal. It is a commitment to the same person for the rest of your life.

Today seems yet still so surreal. I don't think I'll believe it until I'm there watching them say their vows. But I'm not sure why I feel differently about this wedding then I did about my brothers. My brothers I was just so excited. But this one... Maybe because society has tainted marriage so much and I just fear for my friend.

But I'm going to make a point to change my attitude right now now and keep the positive attitude that I know I can have. I do believe in love and faith. I believe in triumphing over all obstacles. I believe that love is a choice you make everyday. I believe it's fighting through the obstacles and never giving up on one another.

I can't help but think forward to when will it be my time? And I have to keep that same positive attitude and know that I have the right to choose love and to do so as much as I can. But for now today is not about me. It's her time to shine and we'll worry about me later.

So shall it be. Congratulation. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love... Farewell.
