Ok so Prince William and his Fiancé Kate are getting married this fall. Yea! Popular year! Ok I am not a big follower of Royal Family, but I mean I do find it slightly interesting. So I clicked on a Link which was talking about the first Royal visit of the couple after their marriage, partially out of interest and partially because it said it would be to Canada. (Woot Canada!) But some of the comments in the video blew my mind. One of the reporters was stating that the Royal Family and the world media would be closely watching Kate to see “... if William choose correctly, to see if Kate is indeed an asset to the Royal Family.”
*blink blink* What? An asset to the family? How’s about does William Love Her?! Does Kate Love Him?! Yes to both? Ok than, what more can you ask for?! I mean it wasn’t an arranged wedding, it was romance!
So while Kate and William is a ridiculous situation, I mean he’s a Prince of England, and I won’t even go into how scary it is with how obsessed people are with these two.
However I bring this up on my blog because while I am NOT being watched my the whole world, and I am so thankful for that, it made me think about other people’s opinions and how they can often not be positive.
For family members I am very fortunate, not only am I not marrying into the stuffy high society of royalty (boring!!!!), but both sides of the family have been nothing but supportive and welcoming to the news of our engagement and wedding. So thank you to everyone in both families, it’s appreciated. There were no covert or subtle gestures implying that I was making a mistake, or that there was still time to get out of it (as you often see in Hollywood movies when family doesn’t support a wedding), rather everyone has been great and excited for us. So again, thank you.
Friends also have been marvellous, even those friends that I know don’t really believe in marriage, or at least not in a traditional white wedding as we are planning, those people keep their own views quiet and just are happy that we are happy. I’m sure should I wish to hear their opinions I can ask (lol if I ask for it they can’t be blamed for sharing) but it seems like all our friends understand what we need to hear and see from them and I am so glad for that.
It’s not that I won’t defend my relationship with Mike, or our decisions to get married and to have a wedding with friends and family. I will more vehemently defend our mutual decision for this. But I am glad I don’t have to, because it takes a lot of energy and can ruin relationships if you get between me and my future husband.
So thank you everyone for being supportive, it’s appreciated. And even if you are holding back some inner doubts about us, thank you for keeping them quiet. After all this is a relationship between Mike and I, not an arranged marriage, so hearing other people’s negative opinions about it won’t change my mind, it will just make me mad, and that is not an emotion any bride should have to deal with.
