so i finally got around to seeing slumdog millionaire this past friday (yea yea i'm behind, i know, so sue me), and liked it a lot, but that was expected of since it's gotten such great reviews and even won a little award named "oscar". what did surprise me was after the film, C turns to me and says " i wished we had a love story like that" ..this is kind of how the exchange went:
C: i wished we had a love story like that
Me: what do you mean? do you want to be broke? and chase me across a country without knowing my full name?
C: yea!
Me: ok babe, let me go get myself kidnapped...
not that i'm trying to make light of the content of the movie, it just surprised me that C would have a thought like that, of how he wished WE had an epic romance...
i read enough romance stories and am firmly in the " i love a knight in shining armor" resuces "damsel in distress" thing, but it did get me to think...just because my "romance story" doesn't have all the high speed chases and the rescuing thing, does it make it any less epic? i'd like to think not...it's just not epic to others probably, but in the terms of my little world...it is just as awesome a love story as everyone elses...we've weathered death, happiness, distance, anger, hate, frustration, sadness and most of all profound love and respect...we've come a long way and grew a lot together to be where we are today, and i can't be happier i'm marrying him.
so ladies out there, remember why you love your man, and that your love story is just as epic as romeo and juliet, or dare i say edward and bella, period :)
