an immigrant wedding

Our wedding cake chocolate sponge and berries
Yes, we did. We got married and left. This sounded very strange for many, moreover our family but it seamed the best thing to do and so now.

We have been many years together and the wedding was just a natural choice but apparently somewhere in time this "habit" has become very unpopular. When did it happen? Nowadays if you get married under thirty everybody thinks you are weird, religious or pregnant.
The wish to spend your life with someone and then create something unique is present in every culture from ancient world. Despite of that, in your home country or abroad, the wedding thing is an over 30s matter, because you should think about your career first, your fun and do that just when you decide to have babies...
Why marriage can't have fun and careers too? Why people are so afraid of commitments and it seams just like something you have to do because you reached a point of life when you get married? Should it be about love too?

The idea of wedding that I have came from many considerations:
- I don't have a job after two year of graduation
- I have done 3 internships
- I'm living in one of the worst economical crisis since second world war
- I can't live with He neither?

Wait a minute!!! This life sucks. If I die tomorrow I have spent my whole life depending on some stupid political and economical power which decided every step of my life. I don't want spend one more day without him and I don't want look old in my wedding pictures!

This is where this decision comes from and, after one year, I still would like to get married again and again. It was the best day of my life.
