    “I was told
    The average girl begins to plan her wedding at the age of 7
    She picks the colors and the cake first
    By the age of 10
    She knows time,
    And location
    By 17
    She’s already chosen a gown
    2 bridesmaids
    And a maid of honor
    By 23
    She’s waiting for a man
    Who wont break out in hives when he hears the word “commitment”
    Someone who doesn’t smell like a Band-Aid drenched in lonely
    Someone who isn’t a temporary solution to the empty side of the bed
    Someone
    Who’ll hold her hand like it’s the only one they’ve ever seen
    To be honest
    I don’t know what kind of tux I’ll be wearing
    I have no clue what want my wedding will look like
    But I imagine
    The women who pins my last to hers
    Will butterfly down the aisle
    Like a 5 foot promise
    I imagine
    Her smile
    Will be so large that you’ll see it on google maps
    And know exactly where our wedding is being held
    The woman that I plan to marry
    Will have champagne in her walk
    And I will get drunk on her footsteps
    When the pastor asks
    If I take this woman to be my wife
    I will say yes before he finishes the sentence
    I’ll apologize later for being impolite
    But I will also explain him
    That our first kiss happened 6 years ago
    And I’ve been practicing my “Yes”
    For past 2, 165 days
    When people ask me about my wedding
    I never really know what to say
    But when they ask me about my future wife
    I always tell them
    Her eyes are the only Christmas lights that deserve to be seen all year long
    I say
    She thinks too much
    Misses her father
    Loves to laugh
    And she’s terrible at lying
    Because her face never figured out how to do it correctl
    I tell them
    If my alarm clock sounded like her voice
    My snooze button would collect dust
    I tell them
    If she came in a bottle
    I would drink her until my vision is blurry and my friends take away my keys
    If she was a book
    I would memorize her table of contents
    I would read her cover-to-cover
    Hoping to find typos
    Just so we can both have a few things to work on
    Because aren’t we all unfinished?
    Don’t we all need a little editing?
    Aren’t we all waiting to be proofread by someone?
    Aren’t we all praying they will tell us that we make sense
    She don’t always make sense
    But her imperfections are the things I love about her the most
    I don’t know when I will be married
    I don’t know where I will be married
    But I do know this
    Whenever I’m asked about my future wife
    I always say
    …She’s a lot like you”

    ميلان كونديرا
    “كان بإمكان آنّا أن تنهي حياتها بطريقة أخرى مختلفة تماماً. ولكن حافز المحطة والموت، هذا الحافز الذي لا يُنسى لاقترانه ببداية الحب، كان يجذبها في لحظات اليأس، بجماله القائم. فالإنسان ينسج حياته على غير علم منه وفقاً لقوانين الجمال حتى في لحظات اليأس الأكثر قتامة.
    لا يمكن إذاً أن يأخذ أحد على رواية افتتانها بالاتفاق الغامض للصدف. (مثلاً، تلاقي فرونسكي وآنّـا والرصيف والموت أو تلاقي بيتهوڤن وتوماس وتيريزا وكأس الكونياك). لكن يمكن أن يؤخذ بِحقٍّ على الإنسان حين يُعمي عينيه عن هذه الصدفْ فيحرم بالتالي حياته من بُعد الجمال.”
