Why do people get married? Some get married because they love each other and want to be recognized as a married couple legally and religiously. Others get married because their partner is wealthy and they want to live the good life. Then there are some who get married because they are forced to or because their family believes that it’s the only way to gain status in a community.
Whatever the reasons for getting married, more people seem to be getting divorced. This is my interpretation of wedding cake in the middle of the road. Data published by the site, My Digital Life about divorce statistics indicate that the number of granted cases in South Africa has been fluctuating between 37 098 and 28 924 per annum in the past decade (1999-2008).
The royal wedding ceremony between Prince William and Kate Middleton, which took place on April 29, 2011, was a grand affair. People from all over the world watched this very romantic ceremony. The couple looked very much in love and ready to show the world just how much. The question I would like to pose is, what makes people turn from complete love and adoration to hate and disgust. Sometimes divorce is a mutual thing, but sometimes it can also be part of a hateful process.
Good interpretaton of 'wedding cake in the middle of the road.' I agree that the divorce statistics are shocking. People are no longer wanting to work on marital problem and select the easy way out-divorce. (Don't get long term solutions for short term problems). In the process they are making a mockery of the elaborate wedding ceremonies and functions.
ReplyDeleteI think marriage doesn't fail- people fail. They fail to be complete before they can complete another person.
