A Witness To Our Lives

“Why do you think people get married? It’s because we need a witness to our lives.

There’s a billion people on the planet, what does any one life really mean?

But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things.

All of it. All of the time. Every day.

You’re saying “Your life will not go un-noticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness, ”

Beverly Clark, Shall We Dance (2004)

When Two Paths Merge Into One

My felicitations to the bride and groom.

I express regret and sadness, for not being able to revel in your joyous day and join in celebration of your love and devotion to one another.

To Mandy,

My beautiful cousin; I wish you all the joy and happiness in the world as you embark on life’s journey with the one you call love.

To Daryl,

I thank the heavens for blessing Mandy with a man who will truly and genuinely protect, love and cherish the one he now calls wife.

I hold you two in my prayers and wish you both a happy life together.

With much love,

Josh

Mr and Mrs Daryl Ong, 8th October 2008

Saying I do
Is saying I am now complete because of you
That the pieces of the puzzle called “my life”
Becomes a beautiful picture called “our love”

The Right Person

Favourite line from Juno:

Juno : I just need to know if it’s possible for two people to stay happy together forever, or at least for a few years.

Mac MacGuff : It’s not easy, that’s for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for 10 years now and I’m proud to say that we’re very happy.

[Juno nods]

Mac MacGuff : In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass.
