On the Long Haul


Sticking it Out.

This past weekend, my roommate and I watched the new HBO documentary entitled, "112 Weddings," which is basically marriage porn for anyone who hopes and/or plans to stick around for the long haul.  Anecdote after anecdote-some more traumatic than others, and almost all filled with a combination of tears and regret-fantasies of life's realities came crashing down on a once-idyllic perception of matrimonial commitment.  Yet most of the interviewees survived as husband and wife, and if asked to do it all over again with the same person, they didn't hesitate to say yes.  Plus, no one ever said this ride would be easy, and without those initial rose-colored intentions, how else would we find our soulmate-lover-partnerincrime/trauma/andawholelotmore? Enjoy (and watch the film)!
