I was doing my normal Sunday morning swim, at the lagoon on the Cairns Esplanade, when this Chinese bridal couple and their photographer came along. It was early morning and they would have been getting some photos done before the general wedding chaos of the day began. I tread water, not wanting to photo bomb the all important pictures, and watched the couple. He was in this silver grey 19th century type frock coat and he had such a proud, happy look on his face when he looked at his bride. She, in turn, looked quite lovely yet nervous in a strapless gown with a long train that she and the photographer worried a great deal about. When the bride and groom looked at each other with such blatant love in their eyes I thought to myself, yeah, this is what people want to believe in and why despite every setback, failure and facing the odds and still daring to try, that as humans we still believe in love and soul mates and not giving up on finding ‘the one.’ That's nice.
"He’s not perfect.
You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make
you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human
and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t
going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will
give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t
change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile
when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not
there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t
exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you" ~ Bob Marley
