The Wedding Dance

Questions

1.       Nowadays, what is your ideal wedding? How do you view marriage?

Answer:
Marriage is like a paint splash, giving me tons of colors. It is full of uncertainties yet those uncertainties makes it impeccable in its own way. I think it will be more vivid how staying and choices are significant, whether the weather is good or how horrible it may become. The idea of marriage horrifies me for uncertainty isn’t my thing, but if I were to get married, someday, I would love to have a Cliff Wedding.


2.       If you were Awiyao, would you also give up your marriage just to follow a certain tradition?

Answer:
“Love knows no bound.” If you truly love a person, you will break all the rules just to with that person. That is love, it is foolish but it is worth it. I would rather be with the person I love than dwell with my heart for the rest of my life.

3.       If you were Lumnay, would you also follow the tradition?

Answer:
If my Awiyao choose to follow the rules, I would respect it. I know it will tore my heart into pieces but I’ll still let him go. But, if he’s willing to fight for us, then I will go against all odds to fight for what we have, for us.

4.       Do you also believe that having a child makes a family complete?

Answer:

Kids gives us this contagious laughter, their smile makes us heart flutter. Though kids weren’t a requirement to have a complete family. With or without it, you can still make your family complete. It is in your hands how you will make your life together completely happy.

The How’s, What If’s and If ever’s:

1.            How do you think expectations of society affect the life of married couples?

Answer:
Well, as husband and wife, they were expected to love, cherished and be faithful to each other for the rest of their lives. For me, those words make the marriage tricky and amazing. It helps them to be better not just together, but also as individual person. It will make them realize that may the situation is bad or good, they can survive it as long as they were together.
2.            What if you belong to Awiyao and Lumnay’s  tribe, will you also follow the same practice?

Answer:
No, with or without child I’ll still love my partner unconditionally. No one can dictate me who to love or how to love. It is only the law made by human, not by God. I know what is right and what I want, it is love.

4.            For Females: Do you also believe that between a man and a woman, the latter is expected to do more sacrifices?

Answer:
We can’t say how much a person have sacrifice. For me, they are equal. It is irrelevant to compare the degree of their sacrifices because it undergo different situations. I’d say we don’t have the right to do that, it is ridiculous, we don’t know anything about their pain and struggles so we don’t have a say on that.

5.            How are men and women portrayed in the story/ Their roles? Their rights?
What dominant characteristic of each is shown by Awiyao/Lumnay’s  character in the story?

Answer:
Men should be the foundation of the family, strong, dependable, able and rigid. They are meant to rule and passed their belongings to their child. While, women, they should be demure, loving, caring and tender. Awiyao, for me is dependable

6.            If ever you are Awiyao or Lumnay, how will you prove your love for your wife or husband?

Answer:
True love undergo a lot of pain, struggles and sacrifices. No matter what happens, I’ll be there for him, stay by his side. Even how hard it is I will hold onto him. Till death do us part.

7.            How do you live to the expectations of society? Do you consider “society’s expectation” important?

Answer:
Society have already set standard of how a person should behave. People should act accordingly to that or else you’ll get judge. It expects you to be competitive and interact smoothly in this diversified place. But, I refused to follow rules which limits the capacity of a person to grow, to view life and to be completely happy.

8.            What will you choose: dignity or love? Explain your answer.

Answer:
My choice will depend upon the eventualities in my life. As of now, dignity matters to me the most. I have dreams and in order to fulfil those, I need people to believe in me. Without my dignity, I don’t think I can be completely satisfied with my life and it will be harder for me to believe in myself. Our dignity makes our whole existence purposeful and worthy for we have establish what is good and just. So, even without the luxury things in the world or extravagant lifestyle, I can face the world with my head held high up at the sky as long as I have my dignity.
