Many couples go to Las Vegas to get married in a little white chapel. Bing bang boom. It was over in a few minutes.
Others had elaborate weddings. I watched on tv about a couple that got married in Dubai. The wedding lasted three days.
Wedding cakes can be very small and sweet. Not this one. It was six tiers and.. you are not going to believe this…and when the guest got a slice of cake there was a diamond in the icing.
Some brides wore a short dress. Others had an elaborate train on their dress. Some of these trains are four feet long.
A couple who used to come to my studio they brought their daughter named Danielle F. She was very shy. I asked her what she wanted to do and she said design wedding dresses. She immediately found a job at Marchesa….a major wedding dress designer. Now she has her own business and designs for many celebrities. I am so proud of her.
All around the world there are arranged marriages where thousands of couples get married at the same time. That is a lot of I dos.
The divorce rate is very high. You went from an I do…to an I don’t. Who really suffers …the children and the couple.
I have a friend who’s on her fourth marriage. I hate to say this but I think she killed the first three husbands. I watch Inside Edition and they always tell stories how a man or women poison their spouse’s drink with eye drops or antifreeze. I wanted to say to her fourth husband…Get out….run for your life. lol
The clergy get married to God. What an almighty partner they make a vow of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Some of those marriages don’t last. Some things are not forever.
So I got an email from a man named Ted…he had been with his lover Brian for twelve years and they decided to get married. The couple told me that both their families stopped talking to them. They asked me what they should do. I told them that their parents may come around later in life.
You can’t live your life for your parents or anyone else. If you fall in love then you fall in love. Who are we to judge someone’s love for each other. It is no one’s business. Even the Pope says this is ok. I love this Pope.
Love,
Richard
