Re: Why do Brides Cry?
I know I'm going to be crying my eyes out, and even thinking about my rukhsati makes me emotional.
That's not because I'm a cry baby, or weak willed - I'm neither.
Its because I've been through a lot with my family, they've supported me, and vice versa, it's hard leaving that unconditional love behind. It's hard leaving my mum behind who no matter how ill she is, will always put me first, my dad who's looked after me, and will run to the pharmacy to get medicine for me at 3am, without a word of complaint, my brother who I've stayed up many nights with chatting and goofing around with.
Its' hard to leave a life that familiar, and to leave all your families rituals, that unconditional love and caring.
