Have you ever seen a romance movie where the couple falls madly in love and gets
married shortly after? I know I have. It's a true "happy ending."
Cinderella knew Prince Charming for only a short while, and she fell in love
instantly. It was only shortly after that they got hitched.
Ariel as the Little Mermaid, how long did she know Prince Eric before they got
married? It took the whole length of the movie, where at the end you are at
there wedding scene. But how long did the couple know each other? How long were
they dating?
Well...the time that these couples were dating seemed like a short period of
time. It didn't seem like they knew each other for years before they tied the
knot. But the viewers of the movie all really melt at these love stories. Boy
meets girl, falls madly in love and gets married.
Why can't this happen in real life? I mean people cry and mush over romantic
movies. But why not in real life situations? My fiancé and I met, and we fell in
love. We both knew that, yes, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
Only a few months into the relationship with each other we were already
speaking about marriage. "That's crazy, you are moving way to fast"
would often be the comment from others, and it still is.
Five months into our relationship, I decided to move hundreds of miles away so that
way I could be with him. I was overjoyed and ready to leave the hectic city
life. "You are moving because of a guy." Okay, yes this might be the
main factor to why I moved out of Long Island, but there are also about 50 other
factors to why I moved out of LI. Love was not the only reason, so c'mon give me
a break (read my "country life vs city" life article to see these reasons).
"Brooke I just really don't understand why you are rushing into it,"
is what my mother has said to me about ... 100 times. Like give it a rest! It
will be officially two years of dating/relationship time before our actual
wedding day. Who cares if we are rushing! All I want is love and support. Is
that so hard to ask for?
Did Cinderella or Ariel have that? The love and support. Ariel's dad turned her
into a human so she could be with man. Cinderella was an orphan and had a evil
step mother, but luckily she had her Fairy Godmother.
A real tear-jerker is "P.S. I Love You," my favorite movie. I mean for
real, in all sappy romantic movies you just root for the couple and wish that
this movie could be you and your life. Haven't we all been there? "I
really wish that was me, falling in love and having the happy ending." But
what happens when it actually happens? Literally it hits you like a brick wall.
You don't know it's coming, and it catches you by surprise. All the feelings
come like a flood.
But when you see these sappy romantic movies the attention is usually only on
the main characters, the couple who falls in love. Not much focus is put on the
family, the parents of the couple. You will only see them in some scenes. So
let's say these couples were real life. Would their family be supportive or
would they disown them?
Can't we all just be happy for one another? You don't have to understand
because love is a very tricky thing to understand anyway. I don't even
understand it fully. So please stop asking questions to something that no one
truly understands. Love is love. Just try and give your support, that's what
all of us "love struck" people want. That's all we want.
