Unconventional
Marriage
Verses for Ayah,
my philo.
g
Warrior-
adjective
that perfectly
describes us a couple.
We were born
having differences in
nature
And
nurtured
differently
within social structure.
However,
opposites attract
as they say.
Indeed, it’s
true, isn’t it?
We are
complimentary
like
coffee and
its
creamer.
We
blend perfectly.
E
We are courageous
enough
to be married
in a very
unconventional
way.
o
We deemed each
other as a
couple
long before we
were officially on
as boyfriend and
girlfriend.
Then the decision
to get married came.
Then the
realization of our plan,
K
It’s not easy.
Having no
Parental support
and
High-paying
job.
But what else we
could do?
We
want to pursue
our plan.
are driven by our
desire.
have to make
money using our skills.
spend and live
each day below our income.
learn to value
every centavo .
No more
coffee shop.
buying of new
books.
dining-out.
And we lessen our
outdoor activities.
We settled for
street and home-cooked foods.
I am proud that
every centavo that
we spend in our
wedding
is our
hard-earned money.
We have the
unconventional setting.
We don’t
live under one
roof
sleep together
eat together
see each other
everyday or anytime we want.
We don’t mind
getting married despite
the fact that
anytime soon,
we will be away
from each other
I have to fulfill
my dream
in foreign land.
I will be
leaving.
I’m doing this
fora
myself
you
and to our future
child.
Don’t worry, we
would be together one day
perhaps here
or
in foreign land.
This is not a
conventional way of getting married
but this is our
choice.
Let’s face the
future together, Ayah.
