Separation. Matrimony.
A couple of months back, I received a piece of very very bad news from a gf of mine. First, she asked me hows things between me and my baby. Then, she popped out the news.
"I've got something to tell you, but promise me that you dont get shocked k??"
"What??"
I curled my hair behind my left ear preparing for the news, while my heart beat doubled, like a race against time.
"Okie.... Listen ar.. Im going through divorce with my hubby now."
"HUH!!" (with my jaws fell opened..)
And as I listened through her story, after the end of each sentence, I just went "HUH". With each time my
HUH went louder and louder.
I felt upset. Extremely. Cos I get to know how they get together, saw them through their dating stage, how they went through quarrels and arguments, how the guy proposed to the gal, how God brought them together, etc.
I witnessed how they said their vow and pledged their love for one another in the name of God, in the eyes of God. And now they had this type of ending.
In this kind of things happened, who can we blame?? The wife for being too stubborn, too career minded that is dominating the family or in fact, overpowering the husband cos of the high post she held at work?? Or the husband who has low EQ, who doesnt know how to show his caring, understanding and affectionate towards his wife but instead devoted all of his time to little animals??
Marriage involved the both of them and I guessed none of us can understand the things that they went through. Who are we to judge anyway??
I feel upset for them. Really. Haiz.
Do people nowadays treat LOVE like a game or what??
On a lighter note, I attended Matthew and Samantha's wedding not too long ago. At the Church of The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Beautiful setting of the church, with gorgeous bride and charming groom.
Arrived early morning way before the groom to help out decorating the place. And also helped as a receptionist with Joel. A pity that Lian didnt make it cos of an extremely severe food poisoning in Shanghai. So his bf took over her instead.
Its so heartwarming to see the groom held his bride's hand tightly and said the vow to her eyes. I know Matt meant every word that he said and I know Sam is in good hands. Both Lian and I felt the same thing. That Sam is so lucky and fortunate to have Matt walking by her side till the end.
As usual, I almost teared when I heard the sacred vow being said.
"I, Matthew, take you, Samantha to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honour you all the days of my life."Awwww... Isnt it romantic??
After which, the popular question was asked again..
"So when's your turn??" =)
