What a Wedding Taught Me About Love
Love doesn’t always arrive dressed in perfection.
Sometimes, it shows up in nervous laughter, shaky hands, or a veil slightly out of place.
Over the years, I’ve seen countless couples stand before each other, surrounded by beauty— flowers, music, light — and yet, the most beautiful thing is never what’s seen.
It’s what’s felt.
Love reveals itself in the way someone looks at their partner when they think no one’swatching.
In the quiet squeeze of a hand during the vows.
In the shared smile that says, “we made it.”
A wedding day is not the beginning of love, nor its proof — it’s a mirror.
It reflects everything that two people have built before that moment: the patience, the laughter, the late-night arguments, the choice to stay.
And that’s the greatest lesson love teaches us — that it’s not about fireworks, but presence.
It’s the daily decision to see, to forgive, to grow, to try again.
I’ve learned that true love is both fragile and unbreakable.
It’s soft enough to bend with life, yet strong enough to endure every storm.
It doesn’t demand perfection — it asks for honesty.
So when I see a couple promise forever, I no longer look for perfection in their smiles.
I look for truth.
Because love, real love, isn’t about finding someone who completes you —
it’s about choosing someone who reminds you that you were whole all along. 💫
