As we live through this pandemic, it's quite sad that many have had to put their marriage plans on hold. While wishing for that big family wedding, the virus descended and brought too many grief instead.
And then there are others - who really took a deep look inside and wondered if they were making the right decision. Yes, you can reach the alter and find yourself shaking so hard, that maybe it isn't just nerves, it's downright FEAR. Are you making the right decision? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with this person? Do I really know him/her? And you look around and see all the people and feel trapped. Now the show MUST go on. Or should it?
I created this mixed media piece quite by accident, but then realized that I went through those very same questions, doubts, and fears on my wedding day. We divorced after five years of struggling, but I welcomed the divorce.
It was quite shocking to see how many people identified with this small piece of art. I posted it on social media and had so many responses. I'm glad it touched the lives of many and stirred their memories, thoughts, and other emotions.
