Help to chauffeur Gek's cousin's wedding today. It was a simple affair, nothing compared to those big hoo haa weddings i attended in the past. But still, it was the best thing i feel that can happen in life. A wedding is still a positive occasion no matter what the reason might be. Its a new phase of life, a beginning of a new chapter, starting your life all over again but this time with a person beside you where ever you may be. You know when they sing the song, i've never lived without you; i guessed its that meaning? :)

Having said that, only a handful of us i would quite say would stick to the promises they make when they put on the rings for each other. I mean, there must be a reason why 50% of the marriages in USA end up in divorces. Intolerable living habits? Cannot work out the difference? Or simply it wasn't the same as before?

So i asked my elder uncle why he got married and he said at first it was love, then it was responsibilty and then commitment; in between there were moments of love(not romance). I mean, is it necessary for us to socially announce that we are off the shelf? So that there would be lesser disturbances? Or are humans really that weak in terms of resisting temptations that we need papers to remind us of our love? Or like what amy said, we can be forgettful at times and we need to be reminded.

Love is intangible and unmeasurable. Just like knowledge, as long as we learn something everyday, does it matter which school we go to or whether or not we get papers out of it? Sometimes i feel its just a 'social' thing. You can be married without signing papers and you still can be dumb with a degree. Only you know it.
