Happy Ever After

All hopeless romantics out there must know where I come from when I say all weddings must lead to a "happily ever after". Yes, to some, it's a silly thought. School-girl-ish even. But I believe that. With all my heart.

I hear people around me say that present-day marriages are hard to work out. Harder even than those in the past because of the conditions newlyweds are thrown into once married. The harsh reality of life. The watchful eyes of the public. The close scrutiny of the family members. The pressure to succeed and lead a happy life. And just about every single person you know waiting for you to make a mistake, fight over something most married couples usually do, and then say "I told you so".
