Wedding bell-ringers

Wish Steve luck. In two short days, he marries Eden, his Phillipino fiancee.

This may not end up being a long-distance relationship that works. But this has been a long-distance relationship which has been worked on very hard from the start. Steve is determined to see this through so he can be happy. Everyone deserves happiness, and I reserve comment when he is not around. But when you're talking around-the-world relationships, you have to question its worth, not to mention its underlying motives.

Regardless of the feedback he's sure to generate by doing this, it still will be loads better for him than his previous marriage. If I have enough guts, one day I'll add a link to this space which will send you to his MySpace blog, where he basically told his tale of terror of a four-month marriage that was doomed from the start. Completely different personalities; completely unacceptable results. And where there's children involved (her two), the material will make anyone cringe.

That's why I'm still searching for my guts... yet don't hold your breath.

Maybe this one will work, and I send them best wishes on their special day just like any two people truly in love deserve.

But here's a question: will it affect the marriage if the rings don't match? If this is indeed a new fad, then woe be the day that I finally get hitched!
