..and they lived happily ever after..

First there was a party...


....and then she got married..

..A huge change shaadi is right?..A remarkable one. Rewarding too I guess in her case since she pretty much was head over heels for her now husband. Changed her name from Raafia S to Raafia H too. I think that's cute. I remember this topic came up before and Alliah said she would never change her name for a guy... I think its more than that, not about losing your identity, not even about making a new one.. I think its being a part of your soulmate that way more than anything. I think it's cute. Ofcourse you have to think of him as your soulmate and actually want to be a part of him too to make it a remarkable, rewarding change.

Kehte hain ke if you truly want something, really really, the whole universe works in your favour to get it for you.. Tau imagine then if its a person we're wanting and the intensity of that need, the madness, the sheer bravado with which that need, that love conquers us.. It surely has the potential, the power to allow us to conquer all... So when you see people embracing life, the one they love, when you see their love blossom..it gives you hope too. I know hope isn't definitive, true love isn't fairytale...... there's pain and there's loss too.. and maybe sometimes its that loss that marks its significance. I guess its two people facing all the pain together and conquering it with unconditional love.

............and I am fortunate enough already =P
