Bittersweet - Freewrite
I remember the week before my wedding very clearly.

My fiance picked me up from work during my lunch hour so that we could go look at different wedding venues.

She did not want to get married at a church. 

She wanted to get married at some unusual establishment that we would all remember.

On this particular occasion we were driving to a Victorian style house which was available for rent.

Apparently,   people rent the house for the weekend and have their wedding and sometimes even their reception there. 

It was about 45 minutes from my business but I only had an hour for lunch.  What was I thinking?

It didn't matter. I'll tell them that I got lost or something and they won't really care.

We drove in her old Pontiac with the windows rolled down while we listened to Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve.

I couldn't help but think to myself that everything actually was kind of bittersweet.

I knew she was too young for me,  but she was quite beautiful,  and she was completely in love with me.

I loved her too even though she was completely controlling and could be a real bitch sometimes.

Love conquers all?

I wasn't sure but I continued to stare out the window at the world going by.

My life was about to change in a variety of different ways.

The Victorian style house ended up being really awesome and we did rent it...... but only for one day.

We had a big party in the house and everyone had a great time.

I rented a big black Cadillac and wore a nice tuxedo.

We even rented out a big warehouse and made that our party reception room.

Weddings are fun.

They say diamonds are forever, and certainly wives and husbands are supposed to be.

Of course they also say nothing lasts forever.

Lust doesn't.  

Does love?

I think it can as long as you compromise,  listen,  understand each other, and know that no one is perfect.  

It's about trust and understanding.  

Truly caring about someone else.

For me,  though...... it was a Bittersweet Symphony.

Very true. It takes a lot of 'doing' on both parts, but its possible.

Weddings can be fun, especially if there's tasty food!  It would be great if more couples put as much effort into each other as they do for their weddings though.  As you said, love takes more than just feeling.

That's true. A lot of people think that love is a feeling but it's really a large responsibility. I once got into an argument with a girlfriend of mine about this but I could never convince her that it was more than just a feeling.

Attention Freewriters! 

Today's prompts are brought to you by Mr. Whiffle's Skywriters!  Mrs. Whiffle, we ask that you please stop yelling and uncover your children's eyes.  Your husband has assured us that he there was an error while flying and that intended ending was, "You lucky ducks!"
