You know, every single time I hear about a couple that has chosen to walk away from their marriage, my heart breaks a little.

I’m old school like that.
I am also a hopeless romantic who believes in the sanctity of marriage.

Earlier today, I received some grim news. Dear friends of mine announced their decision to pull the plug on their union. I listened without uttering one word then hung up and I cried like I lost my best friend.

I mean, these two were meant to live happily ever after. These two were that couple that I could see growing old together, sitting on rocking chairs and waxing lyrical about the days gone by…

So many questions…
So many tears…
So many fond memories…

I remember like it was just yesterday that I witnessed these two saying “I do”.

My heart leapt with delight as I watched this couple declare their love and commitment.

They were the picture of thoughtfulness and treated each other with tender love and respect; we often joked that the Heavens opened and smiled each time these two appeared. This was a union made in the stars. Or, so we thought.

I mean, if ever one wanted to witness a beautiful display of commitment and love, that wedding day was punctuated with the most memorable moments ever. From the bride making a grand entrance in her Cinderella style dress, to the exchange of vows, the first dance and then of course the joint task of cutting the wedding cake.

So many questions…
So many tears…
So many fond memories…

But, like they often say, life happens…

Thank you for taking the time to read. And, if you are married or planning to be, may your vows stand the test of time and hold on to Matthew 19:6.

Stay fabulous and favoured x
