I am writing this on the eve of my best friend's wedding :) (Well, nothing related to the movie). She really is my best friend and I am very glad that she is marrying the person she loves.
Her wedding preparations and stuff got me into thinking, what's this marriage all about? Why is this so overrated? What takes to have a good marriage?
Well, this is how i analyzed it. This marriage is a whole new world for the guy and the girl (if they are getting married for the first time, i.e!!). It promises all the fairy tale dreams, affection, love and a life long companionship. Well, then what happens after 1-2 years of marriage? Where do these dreams go? What happens to love and affection?
Its just that the girl and the guy are so psyched up about their life together that they forget to bring one tiny teeny thing into perspective - reality. They forget that it takes 2 people here to be happy and to lead a life whereas earlier it was just you and your wishes. And also the euphoria dies down gradually. The secret lies in keeping this alive. One should come out of the 'is this all what marriage is about?' syndrome and treat every day differently:)
I know i know, you would have heard about these things before and I am just passing it on. Oh well!! But aren't these things true??

I think when you do take that into account; your life actually enriches. Again, this is the view of an unmarried girl~ ;)

"Everyone's getting married!!" :D
