One of my cousins, older than me and nearing the big 4-0, is getting married. Finally! Aside from the long engagement that is fast becoming overdue, still being in love after all these years and more, the promise of a caribbean honeymoon from both their parents finally pushed them to set a date and begin the wedding preparations. Don’t get me wrong, the honeymoon promise is just icing on the cake considering the two are still very much in love, even after being engaged for five years!
So they will get married summer of 2012. They will tie the knot in front of 200 guests. They already have a house of their own they can go home to. They already have a successful business that gives them a really good income. They are successful in their separate careers. And my cousin’s bride is ready to be pregnant to start a family of their own.
They keep telling everyone in the past not to rush them into marriage and they are right! When it’s not yet the right time and one of them is not yet ready, then don’t go forward with the wedding. Wait until it all feels and fits just right.
You can’t imagine how contagious their happiness is!
