The makeup artist was pinning the veil when the memory of my first wedding surfaced. I had been so anxious then—afraid Ryan would be impatient, afraid I wouldn't be enough, afraid something small would turn him cold. Today, I was only still. Not because I had stopped believing in love. Only because I finally understood: what a marriage needs most is mutual respect between two people. Everything else follows from that. The sea breeze moved the curtains. I took my father's arm and walked toward the altar. Adrian stood in the sunlight, steady, his eyes warm and clear.

"I Love You. But that does not mean I am going to agree with everything you say. I'm only going to respect your choices,even if I don't like some of them,out of love for you. Just because I am in love with you does not mean I am going to suddenly behave in a particular manner,nor do I expect you to. I belong to myself first,and only then to you." Keerthi only nodded. Her husband's words made sense,hardcore reality hitting her face. The illusion she had of love was very different from reality. "I Love You too",she whispered, standing on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around her husband's neck.

She couldn't stay calm any longer, and jumps into the conversation. “Grandpa, if you are doing this for my sake, you don't have to. I don't want to show off my husband or my marriage. It's pretty good that we are done with these simple steps. I have a marriage certificate, and no one will doubt us. It's not good to indulge in great pleasure when we can get satisfied by simple happiness.”

She replied. "We are married and we love each other." He sighed, "But I should make corrections to my mistake, and that's why I will do this, Lena." He slipped his hand into his pocket and continued. "I read somewhere that you have to fall in love with the soul of a person before you can truly see them for who they are and that love comes first before you get into marriage. Ours was different, Lena. We weren't in love with each other, if there was anything between us when we met, then it should be hatred, deep-rooted one."

I chuckled a little bit. "How so? Does really love is the foundation of marraige?" I asked again. "There are two elements in a marraige, Ma'am. It's love and trust. If one of them is missing, then it won't work," he replied. "But love can be learn," I uttered softly. But love without trust is nothing. I said to my mind. I didn't say a word again and just looked outside the pathway until we arrived to the church. "Ma'am, if you don't love him, don't go ahead with the marriage. But if you think you can learn to love him, go ahead. Just like you said, love is learned."

He repeated gently, “because my love is greater than any of those secrets.” Errant, silent tears ran down her cheeks, soaking their shared pillow. “What if those secrets could cost you your life?” she closed her eyes, “What if it’ll ruin your life? Ruin us?” His heart thudded, “No secrets can do that. You see, I believe that marriage is like you know, a box… The majority of individuals marry under the impression that marriage is a lovely box. They think it’s brimming with stuff they've yearned for. The truth is that marriage is an empty box at first; you have to put something in it before you can take something out.” He breathed her scent again, “You put respect, trust, and honesty and love

I missed some dialogues in the movie, I haven't heard much yet so I'm just relying on the subtitles. "That's not true. You can marry anyone even you just met as long as the feeling is mutual. Love comes when you least expected it," he said. I immediately turned to Edmund who I didn't realize was also watching. I can't pause the movie but I can't accept what he said. " You can't marry someone you just met, Edmund. Love doesn't go that way. Besides, love at first sight is not true. How can you love someone in such a short period of time? That's attraction, only eyes love."

He looked at me seriously while I was laughing. "This is the first time that you made me happy" I said while laughing. "I like you as my wife and you need to like me, too, as a husband" "I really don't want to! We can be married even if we don't love each other. There are so many couples who don't love each other. "Yes, there are some couples who did not love each other, but they also learned to love each other. So, It's the same. You should like me now. "

Luca adjusted his seating position and then dismissed the attendant. He faced her. "Who said so?" "I'm saying so," she replied curtly "You want me to wear a ring on my finger when we don't love each other?
