As I was talking to my Parisian sister the other day, I realized that the way me and my beloved sufletel got married has busted all the myths and traditions anyone might think of.
I value traditions and I enjoy weddings, but I was never part of those little girls who used to dream about themselves in white bridal dresses. I never dreamed about big wedding. My idea of getting married was eloping with the loved one. No big fuzz. Just the two of us, united in front of God.
And what do you do when you have two very different cultures (and so may different traditions), two families on two different continents, friends all over the world? I have no idea which is the right answer. I can only know what was the right answer for us.
We got married the legal way, we stood together in front of God and received His blessings and we shared our happiness with the dear ones. Yes, most of them were not present there, but they were present in our hearts.
We chose the simplest way possible not because we had anything to hide or because we didn't consider this unique event as one of the most important of our lives, but because in life sometimes you have to compromise the happiness that others might get for one day, for the happiness that two people want to share for a lifetime.
The ones who love us share our happiness. The ones who love themselves most of all, feel neglected.
Life goes on. And we have just opened a new chapter in our lives and we couldn't be more excited!
