Finals? We are in March (still half semester). I don't get it.Sophia said:Looking out of window and observing high school students going to their final exams. Young ladies and gentlemen, dressed as adults for the first time. High heels and decent dark costumes, suits and ties. Most wearing tiny green ribbons pinned to their jackets, symbol of youth and hope.
Excitement and fear, laughing with friends and trying to revise what was forgotten. Relief and uncertainty.
Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus!

After a pleasant youth
After a troubling old age
The Earth will have us.

With that subject I thought of doing the exact same thing.Sophia said:"I suspect where the world is going, I wonder where the life will lead me " I think that 4 or 5 pages were required. I was like whaaaaaaaat? I had absolutely no idea what to write. I wanted to write one short vulgar sentence and leave but didn't dare :-)
I remember standing on a hilltop and seeing clouds casting shadows on the moorland below, and on other walkers down there. I commented to my mum that I wondered what it felt like to be in the shadow of a cloud. She replied that they just saw that the sun had gone behind a cloud.Sophia said:Breaking news! Right now in weather forecast: "the sun will shine until night" :-)
You mean heterosexual or homosexual couples ?Psinter said:So I've been wondering: when a couple gets married in a wedding, do they really kiss in front of all their family? Don't they feel embarrassed?
Either. Kissing is kissing. I think they would be embarrassed. I would. I would tell the other side to just hold hands. And even then holding hands is still embarrassing.Pepper Mint said:You mean heterosexual or homosexual couples ?
I think no, because people know each other well before marriage.
I think their parents probably saw them kissing before (either as lovers or causally if they spent New year or Christmas together) Nowadays it is common to live together before marriage so their parents know / assume they already had sex. So kissing at the altar is only a symbolic act.Psinter said:Either. Kissing is kissing. I think they would be embarrassed. I would. I would tell the other side to just hold hands.

I wouldn't do it. I don't know if you would be embarrassed, but I would be embarrassed with capital E. I don't care if others do it, but me? Nope.Sophia said:I think their parents probably saw them kissing before (either as lovers or causally if they spent New year or Christmas together) Nowadays it is common to live together before marriage so their parents know / assume they already had sex.

I read somewhere (I don't remember where) someone mocking another person by saying: Don't tell me you sleep everyday with your wife and all you do is hold hands all night.
But I thought: What's wrong with just holding hands? These guys do it and I think it's adorable :
