Subject title to post: At the edge of madness
Hello, I'm Gui Gui, 17 this year. Sometimes I really wonder what true love is all about. Is there actually rules when you're in love? Can you or not fall in love with someone younger than you?
I'm a student and I work as a part time in my aunt's bridal shop. I've seen so many couples walking in happily with plans of future in their heads, some managed to live happily ever after even after their marriage but unfortunately some failed. Those who failed are couples that would be quarreling over their wedding outfit and end up breaking up. It's so hillarious how people could end their relationship so easily just because the groom thinks that the gown that the bride is wearing doesn't suit the rich and mighty him. Is love such a shallow relationship?
I witness a couple quarreling today. The bride was really beautiful and I myself thought that the gown suits her very well but suddenly a quarrel broke out. I came out with the bride form the changing room after helping her with the gown, it's strapless and there isn't much designs on it, simple yet beautiful. Once the groom saw what the bride is wearing, immediately he started saying that she could change because he thought that gown was too simple. Shouldn't love be simple yet beautilful? "Change it!" that's what he commanded when the bride refuse. The bride was really upset. I could tell, tears were welling up in her eyes, they're trying not to fall. Though upset about her future husband sudden change she said, "Dear, it doesn't matter if it's simple because I don't mind. Our love need not be so full of ideas, I just wish that we could continue this simple yet beautiful love, like this gown which I've chosen." What the bride says really touched my heart deeply, not only she's beautiful on the outside, she's even more gorgeous in the inside. Wanting to live a simple life after marriage for a woman in this century is hard to fish. I was so deep in thoughts when someone shouted, it then brought me back to reality. "NO! It shouldn't be simple don't you get it? It's me that you're gonna marry to! C'mon, pick a better gown, don't disgrace me!" he exclaimed. Shit, upon hearing I wanted to whack him, I wanted to give him a tight slap. How could he say this to a woman on her happy day? I really couldn't stand what he's talking about. "Dear? I.." before the bride could even finish what she had to say, he interrupted, "So you don't wish to get a better gown eh? Fine, so be it. Don't blame me for being mean, bye old woman." after saying, he walked out of the shop.
What the hell is happening? Right after the groom went out, the bride couldn't control her tears anymore. Ten minutes ago, the beautiful bride who's standing right in front of me is now the heart roken lady crying in front of me. I remember asking her if she was alright, she looked up, smile at me and assured me she was fine. "I thought he'd be a matured man after proposing to me. You know Miss Wu, he's 3 years younger than me, but I loved him despite the fact that I know people would start ranting about us. I really didn't mind, but he seemed to be the one thinking so highly of just himself. It seems like the marriage is all fake. Sorry to trouble you so much Miss Wu." the bride told me. Before I could answer her, she went to change in her casual clothes and left straight away.
Sigh, what's is love?
