Greetings my lovelies,
There is this rather intriguing show, which I cant help but watch religiously. No I am not talking about misfits.*shakes head*. I am talking about the amazing program, that has graced our screens,
The Family.
How does this have anything to do with love, I hear you murmur through the liquid crystal display (LCD)?

Uncle Sunday, (yes I use uncle because in my mind I consider myself tied to the rather conventional yet scanty African family, especially every Nigerian family) referred to African love lasting longer than the westernised notions of love.
His sentiments threw me into thought.
As participants of the western culture we have been accustomed to minute marriages and speedy divorces but neglect those significant promises we made at the alter, registry office, Vegas. Yes, Vegas.
To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse,for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us apart.
I agree soppy language is for the dire romantics amongst us,the staunch romeos and Juliets amidst us, but I'm an advocate for love. So my lovelies , let us ponder on love together, better yet, let us raise our shots of Smirnoff in memory of love.
