Signs

 ...........So as far as I could remember, random events left their calling cards, signs were everywhere, each song, each number, each fragrance, each 'ço-incidence'..each failure & each success meant something to me. So I trudged on, each day, ok ok, that sounds a little pathetic, I glided gracefully, like a swan if you must?..through each day, pumped with new juice, new info, newer signs that told me where to go, & what to do.  I literally never made any decisions without 'a sign'. Its not that I couldn't, I just liked to look around, ask for divine inspiration, sometimes even intervention..& that's basically, the story of my life.

So, lets go back to when we were friends, Ian & I. And the first of the 'Signs' showed up. After a particularly harrowing day, I retired to my bed, & slept early hoping for a fresh start to the next day. Cue...dreamy music, going into deeper & deeper levels. Ok, ground zero. We're here. So in the dream, I was hosting my birthday party..& it was lovely. Cool  breeze, beautiful colours, glimmering lights, laughing people, a cake somewhere..you know...the whole package. I was mingling amongst the guests, a joke here, a hug there, passing on drinks & hors d'oeuvres..when a cool wind blows & I turn around..seen entering is Ian with a huge drop shaped bouquet of flowers and a Purple comb taped in the centre of the arrangement. He comes close, grabs me, dips me low & gives me the most amazing, breath taking kiss. And all the while I'm thinking, why is there a purple comb taped to that bouquet. :|   :)  Well anyway I never bothered checking on dream interpretation for that purple comb, but yea I did tell him about that dream.. :) And I must say, he was very happy about it. I think that brought us closer & we got to know more about each other than we did earlier, and the rest is history. :)

So I'm wondering now if I should gift him a  purple comb on the wedding. :)

Ok, so preparations are now in full swing, now that we're within 2.5 months of D-Day. A gazillion little details filling up the wedding planning universe..all magically coming together slowly. Ian has been busy with work & extra curriculars (grr) :) so its just been me breaking my head over these details. One normally wishes to think creatively, along the path of the greats, to create something that great, a shining example of love, fable, eternity & promise. And although sometimes the grey matter proves itself totally unworthy of its existence, that's when Signs help. :) And to think It was with me all along, in front of my eyes. :) I've been thinking of themes, invite designs, what to wear, etc, and till today, I was totally clueless. Lets just say, there was a SIGN & I know what the wedding's gonna revolve around now. :) Go figure.



An eternal promise, and one that will be kept. :)
