My wedding (Repost)

I always pictured that my wedding will be like every other Nigerian wedding. The aso ebi, loud live band, the variety of food, the beautiful decorations in the hall, friends, family and strangers all having a good time. However, my wedding turned out to be the opposite of what I hoped and imagined. It was just the two of us, no other person involved and it was the happiest day of my entire existence.

My lover, you know makes me happy; he is the best thing that ever happened to me. I was one of those good girls who did everything ‘good’ but always ended up been hurt, disappointed and abandoned.

When you come home for Christmas

She was probably joking but it was something I reflected on. "When you come home for Christmas, come with someone".

Subconsciously, I had been checking men out but since I was meeting them while working (offering services), it's been strictly professional but deep down would hope I run into them after. I wonder how meeting them after was meant to work as I'm very anti-social...lol.

Anyway, to my disappointment, I got a call back from one. One who automatically thought he ruled my life without me agreeing to date him. It was creepy, confusing and annoying. Probably he was looking for a Christmas girlfriend too. Then I realized I had been missing my reason for the season. My Christmas was beginning to be about having a serious relationship, the type you spend holidays with. It was about romance and the little things we call love. Definitely, I was wrong!

Sacrificial love is the reason for the season.
