I read this on {cypress and oak}, and I just had to share. It's such a lovely thought about love. She recently got married and had a beautiful wedding. And this is what she wrote about love:
I really believe that there’s someone out there for everyone. Sometimes it just takes a little time to find said person. I’ve dated some real doozies, and stuck it out in those bad relationships because I thought that love wasn’t supposed to be easy. My last relationship was with a really nice guy who wasn’t right for me (and I wasn’t right for him). It literally never occurred to me that the effort we had to exert to keep the relationship going shouldn’t have been necessary.That’s not to say that love is always easy. Fortunately I have two excellent models of happy marriages (Mama and Mr. Mama; Pop and Mrs. Pop). Add to that the Mister’s parents (Momma Mac and Mac Daddy). These relationships prove that love, like a well-rooted tree, is natural. It grows and bears fruit without trying. There may be hard winters that the tree must endure, but there are also optimistic springs and lush summers. So while love may not be easy, it is natural. My feelings for the Mister are the very first time that love ever felt right. Magical. Inevitable.
Side note: I am not getting married anytime in the forseeable future. But one of my guilty little pleasures is reading about people and their lovely weddings. I found this wedding via the "Wedding Graduates" series over at A Practical Wedding. I love seeing all the neat little ideas people had for the weddings, and it's even given me a few decorating ideas for a future home.
