Overwhelmed

hmmmm... where do i start?

I'm pretty much overwhelmed right now... Too many thoughts going through my head. Although watching the whole Season 1 of Gossip Girls is making it slightly more tolerable. (p/s the first episode of Season 2 is up here!)

This entry on weddingbee pretty much sums up my feelings right now.. glad i'm not the only one feeling this way about wedding planning. And we've been engaged for only 5 months..LOL...

Oh well, here's something really beautifully written, for the next time when i ask why i am doing this again...


Why Marriage?
Mari Nichols-Haining


Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,
With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body…
Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,
Who won’t hold them against me,
Who loves me when I’m unlikable,
Who sees the small child in me, and
Who looks for the divine potential of me…


Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night
With someone who thanks God for me,
With someone I feel blessed to hold…


Because marriage means opportunity
To grow in love in friendship…


Because marriage is a discipline
To be added to a list of achievements…


Because marriages do not fail, people fail
When they enter into marriage
Expecting another to make them whole…


Because, knowing this,
I promise myself to take full responsibility
For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness
I create me, I take half of the responsibility for my marriage
Together we create our marriage…
Because of this understanding

The possibilities are limitless


To more happier entries ahead...if we don't elope and get married that is!
