The other day I watched one of my favorite movies of all time. I will tell you right now it is not your typical movie that resonates with the male population. However, for me it played a very important role at a dark time in my life.
After many failed relationships with women, I wanted to really learn what makes women tick? What do women want in a relationship? What makes women stay in a relationship? So in order to answer these questions where does a single male turn to, or where did this single male turn to?
I started reading Cosmopolitan magazine monthly and watching Sex and the City TV series weekly, When the movie came out in 2008 it was a no brainer that I went to see it. There I was one evening at a late showing sitting by myself with my drink and popcorn. There were a handful of other people in the theatre mostly women except for another male, who obviously was dragged there by his wife/ girlfriend, he looked like this was the last place on earth he wanted to be. He kept looking around hoping that no one he knew would be there.
I liked the movie, it was flaky and campy on the surface, however, beneath the surface it was full of subtle observations about life, love, relationships, sex, what women want and what men want, feelings, emotions, making mountains out of molehills.
I have now watched the movie about 10 times and last week was first time viewing it as an engaged man. I saw it in a different light. We are getting married next year in Vegas. I would be perfectly happy with the Elvis drive thru chapel or the Taco Bell 600$ wedding or whatever. The important part is spending the day, the moment, the rest of my life with my beautiful and inspiring Shelley whom I love more than anything.
When you have too much extravagance, you start losing touch with reality and that is what happened to Carrie and her wedding to Big. It became a monster that neither of them were able to handle.
The most important thing is saying I love you forever, with the one you love.
