'tis was mine speech

it takes a lifetime, to know a person.

yet it takes only a day, to fall in love.

i was asked by a friend once. "do you hafta know the person, inside an' out, before you decide to get married?"

"you don't hafta know everythin'. you see, no matter how hard both of you may try, y'all will always remain a mystery to each other."

"an' that's the essence of marriage, y'know. ta spend an eternity together, learnin' about each other, an' growin' together..in love."

my friend was confused. he was like.."uhh, yer speakin' in riddles, bra. that's like, a yes or no question.."

"crap. it's a no, okay? you don't hafta know the person entirely."

in short..get married first, work out your differences later.

let it come to you, y'know?

an' it really isn't about what others may think about you two. it's about what you both feel.

heck, it's as if they're the ones gettin' married.

that was my speech. an' a damn good one too.
