When there is a spark, instant chemistry between 2 people and you mistakenly think that an evening of wild sexual erotica is the basis for a happy and long marriage…well chances are you are wrong!
I recently took on a side gig doing flowers for a wedding. I am not really sure why these two people were entering into a lifelong commitment exactly? The wedding was all planned in a matter of 3 weeks. Talk about your quickie! Whew! So I went to the wedding site with all the fresh floral arrangements. The Bride and Groom emerged looking hung-over, and all she could say was…”how pretty” “Oh it looks soooo pretty!” I do not think she knew any other vocabulary. He(the Groom) was smoking and enjoying a glass of beer at 10am.
The father of the Bride was outside in his garage enjoying a home made and rolled joint! This all added to the ambiance to the backyard wedding! I was instructed to cover the chairs with white chair covers, they were VERY wrinkled. As I was doing this, I stepped in dog poop! This was the breaking point for me. Between the joint in the garage, the hung-over couple, the wrinkled lines, the dog poop and the food fit for a cookout….well I left! I later learned that the wedding party ended at 8:45pm so that they could go bar hopping.
The lesson I have learned and want to share with you is: if you want a quickie, that is fine, but do not turn it into a marriage. Because before the pregnancy test can be read, the marriage will be over.
Take you time when you meet another person, date, talk, court him/her. Go out and explore life together, enjoy the romance and make sure not to step in dog poop along the way!
