Wedding Blues or Bells

I am dumb-founded by the news of a college friend who just got engaged recently. Shocked because I haven't heard from her for ages. I am not sure whether you have learnt about this pretty good news or not. She is none other than Karen from my previous college. Karen just graduated unofficically from NIUC. She will be turning 21 in 3 months' time. The unexpected joy of her life, Eric has proposed to her on an auspicious date of 07.07.07. She must be truly head over heels for him. Lucky couple... I believe that LOVE is the key to their union.

The pretty couple on their unofficial engagement party.

On this wonderful date, I was too attending a colleague's wedding in Malacca. See, on this exact date, there were 3 colleagues of mine running their wedding on the same day. Now I can hear the wedding bells ringing all over my ears even though you can't hear them.

I am not too sure whether it is too young to get engaged before your 21st birthday. I myself have passed the age of 23 and hey, I am still single... but not available (Kev: *giggle*). I can even admit right here right now, I am itching to plan for my wedding. I cannot wait for my own wedding even though I am only 23 years young! Thus, I can't say whether she is too young for this or not. However, dreams will only come true when the TIME comes.

Nonetheless, I wear a crystal clear mind now because I am not here to pass any judgement or criticism. Who am I to judge? Who am I to pass any comments? After all, it's her engagement, and we should share the joy with her. As long she is happy, I believe we should just keep praying for her. Perhaps, pouring out our blessings for this young couple might be a better option than to gossip around about their union.

Agree?

With turn of events happening before we even know it we can only give our blessings in such situations but for me as one who does not easily give such unless I know that its true that will last like diamonds last for eternity then yes I can say truthfully blessed wedding but then again so fast and so young, well they want to start life together early thus I believe such will be the case. Who can tell what will happen only God knows.

Like it or not, I really respect and admire, and even encourage people to make their decision while they are still young. Besides, thats how our parents (well most of them) got together right?

To do so at such a young age requires so much courage. After all, to know, be certain and choose who you want to spend the rest of your life with is not an easy decision.. shows so much commitment and maturity, for love its not just only a feeling, but a lifelasting commitment.

To know that they made this decision finally, is wonderful!

Kudos to both Karen and her partner, Eric, for they certainly have my blessings! =)
