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.
