This is my fav topic of debate...
I may be totally unromantic or hopeless but there are certain things that I can never understand.
I have a friend S who was officially engaged to some guy. She knew this guy pretty well and kind of liked him as well. But as it happens in the movie, she met another man who was twice as charming and swept her feet off. In a matter of 1-2 months, she called off her engagement and eloped to marry her prince charming against the wish of her family and his family.
This of course created embarrassment for her family and they refused to honor this marriage.
Now what I see after two years is that she has a baby of 1 year and her husband left her while she was pregnant and she was all alone with no job and no where to go.
Cut to present her daughter is 6 years now, filed for divorce but husband unwilling to take any responsibility. Husband staying with another girl who calls and threatens her.
I wonder sometimes why people marry so impulsively. This all looks good in movies where they lived happily ever after... rarely is such success seen in real life.
Also to marry against the wishes of your parents, you must be 10 times sure of the person and the family you would go to. Most important thing, never run from house to get married, you need your family support at the end, so better take them with you. It will help in long run. Marriage is not only about two people, its about two families.
