Jackpot

I was at a friend's wedding. She and her groom had a beautiful church ceremony, which was followed by a grand reception. What was most beautiful, though, was the union of two people who loved each other very much.

In this time of failed marriages and failed relationships, it really is wonderful to see two people who are willing to spend their lives together and brave out all the tough times that lie ahead. It was especially touching when the groom gave his message to his bride. He said that he was asked why he wanted to get married, and he said that he had already found the jackpot. Why else would he let that go?

Some people are fortunate to find their "jackpots" or be a jackpot to someone else. I really hope that this couple and all other couples would have the strength and enough love to work out their relationship, as It won't all be good and happy.

I was reading about soul mates, and experts say that we meet a lot of soul mates in our life. However, even if we do meet a soul mate, it won't just happen. Our soul mate won't just magically appear in front of us and then there would be a "happily ever after". I believe that even if we become lucky enough to meet our soul mate, it would still be up to us to work things out. Destiny doesn't just happen. We make our own destiny.
