Wedding in a month!

A month left for the D-day to come! I feel jittery but I am trying my best to keep feelings at bay…emotions are looking for a space to express themselves but I have controlled them, suppressed them. Why are weddings such a big deal? I know it is the biggest day of your life. A life altering moment. But why can’t it be smoother, simpler,with less pressure!

As a woman, you start your new life—literally! Giving up your home, parents and family, who know you, can bear your tantrums and yet love you unconditionally. Now, you begin the process all over again…it’s not easy. If people really talk about experiencing something ‘different’--- they should certainly try this! What an adventure!! Atleast in my case, I know the guy, we have been dating for so long.

Still, it is not easy, neither for me, nor for him! I don’t know how to stay strong and composed since the memories of childhood, time spent with cousins keep floating by. Showering of their love and constantly throwing lovingly lines like, “Soon you will go away” or “Spend some time with us as you would be starting a new life” makes me nervous! After all I am here—in Delhi only! Yet, the distance will grow, they say…not a comforting thing to hear!

I am battling to stay calm and composed, restricting my tears to my throat and gulping it as water. I don’t want to get weak. It is a beautiful beginning and I want to be positive and happy! Let’s hope I win the battle by leaving my home smiling and not crying!

I need you guys to make it possible!!
