Love is….

So I’m getting married this October and all the three of you who read my blog are invited! Now since the time I made this decision, I’ve been asked by family and friends alike, “So how did you decide to get married?”, “What do you guys have in common?”, “What do you like about her the most?” and a host of other questions. After much thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that I really don’t have a clue as to why the two of us decided to get married. The only way to describe us is the way Frank (Phoebe’s brother in “Friends”) does “It's so cool man, it's so, it's just 'cause being with her is so much better than like not being with her.” Maybe in the end that’s what counts.

One day the two of us sat down and tried to list out the things we have in common. It turns out she loves big cities; I’m more of a small town / suburb kind of guy. I love reading, she loves TV. She’s an artist; I can’t draw a straight line. I play the guitar and sing, she can’t hold a note. I’ve been described as being “quietly confident”; she’s got all the bubbly charm of Priety Zinta in Dil Se. How do we get along? Bear with me as I quote Simon Green (Played by Ashton Kutcher) from the move Guess Who “That's just it; she's everything I'm not. You know, she's my other half. Without her I'm not whole.” Now I’m not sure if I would go as far as to say I’m not whole without her, but we do bring out a different side in each other. A side neither of us knew existed. The fact that we don’t always like the new side we bring out is a story for another post ;-)


So as we go forward, the two of us don’t have all the answers. We know we have our differences. We know it won’t always be easy, but we also know as long as we are together, we’ll be better off than well…. not being together.
