You may now kiss the bride

It was a fabulous moment or so i thought. The joy and ululations that characterize the union of a man and woman in holy matrimony is simply phenomenal, a spectacle to behold, an enviable moment. As i sat among the expectant congregation, witnessing these momentous occasion, I couldn’t help but marvel at how ironic life is and how indifferent human beings are! Here were two people confessing their supposed undying love to each other and making vows that neither of them intends to keep.6 months down the line, the nagging starts, the man is always working late, suspicion abounds, sex becomes routine, whining and complaining becomes the order of the day and damage control a permanent feature. The big question is,” what is it with marriage?” what makes two seemingly happy people want to go at each others throat? Is it a case of getting priorities wrong or the allure of regular sex? It is said that change is the only constant thing in the world. Simply put, if we can’t put up with the demands of marriage, then it is time we became honest to ourselves and change the system! My thoughts were rudely interrupted by "u may now kiss the bride" and to be sincere, human beings are the best pretenders in the world!
