This past Saturday, one of my closest, and favorite friend said "I do". The wedding was small and intimate with a few friends and of course family. Weddings are always usually so predictable, from the walk down the isle to the bouquet being thrown over my head, but this one was different. I guess it was the fact that there were only 30 guest and we all got to spend a lot of time with the couple right after the ceremony. We were in between all the kisses, hugging, smooching and I Love you, I Love you I Love you. It made me feel all bubbly inside, it made me feel..........oh God I'm about to say it......noooo........it made me feel like getting married!! There I said it!
In this decade marriage is a brave step to make, especially if you're not use to answering to anyone and sharing your space. More than 50% of marriages end in divorce. Out of all the married couples that I know there are probably 2 that I know that are faithful. I met a guy just last week and he hit on me with his ring on. After about 5 minutes of conversation I asked if he was married and he said "a lil bit". One of my male friends said that he could give me 100 reasons why a black man will never be faithful. He says I'm a nut and crazy if I ever get married. After all those warnings, I still sometimes want to get married. "Sometimes I feel like a nut and sometimes I don't". Before I embrace the notion of marriage I need more proof of successful couples and better statistics on the divorce rate in this country. I think my friend will make a great wife, she's a Taurus like myself and we share a lot of the same characteristics, great home makers being one of them. Today I'm still feeling blissful, and all bubbly inside, which means I'm feeling like a NUT.
