Thinking about: WEDDING...

Wedding for a member of a family is like building a bridge on the other side. You extend your family relationship with the in-laws. I find wedding exciting and festive. I can imagine white dresses or gowns, bouquets of flowers and a tower cakes.

So joyful and meaningful for the newly weds and for the members of the family.

My mother text me awhile ago that she attended a wedding ceremony. When I asked her who is getting married and she answered me that it was a highschool batchmate of my sister, the first thing that pop-up on my mind is my sister getting married.

Funny isn’t it? I should have thought of her friend’s wedding but I haven’t. Instead I was thinking of my sister. My sister is turning 31 this coming August. Last year, I was in the stage of always getting worried. I remember my brother and I was discussing about my sister planning to get married. After that conversation, I’m always worried. And everytime my sister and I chat, I always raised that question, about her plans of getting married.

The first reason I was worried, of course, I’m afraid that we will lose contact. Hahaha…

Although I know it’s impossible because of the technology nowadays. But what worry me most is that she will get married after we haven’t seen each other for five years. I was in a panic mode at that moment. I remember I was telling my sister that before she gets married we should spend one year together. Hahaha…

But when she went home August of 2008, everything turn out to be different. Even we spend a little time with my sister, I felt at peace. Hahaha… Maybe seeing her went home without somebody on her side made me at peace.

I don’t know if I’m selfish. I wanted my sister also to get married. I wanted to host her shower party and help her organize her wedding and mostly be her made of honor when she walks down the aisle.

Well, my brother is married and I haven’t prepared myself that he will get married. Maybe that’s one thing that makes me worry most. Coz’ I know priority changes when someone in the family decides to get married. Especially when one has a family, there are limitations already to the time that you will be spending.

But now my brother and I are spending time through exchanging conversations through emails. At least, I can know how he feels and how he thinks because we share stories. Unlike before, the communications is a bit difficult for us. Even he has a family already, now that we have constant communication, things have been different.

For my sister, I know she is just waiting for the right time. But sooner or later I know she will still end up walking in aisle. And whenever my sister decides to get married I won’t worry anymore. At least I have beautiful pictures with her during her vacation. Spending with her in green and peaceful place in Talakag, Bukidnon is one thing I can cherish. The longing is over. Its time to deal and face the reality already.
