On September 15, 2014, a lavish and grand wedding ceremony was held at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria.
The cause of the sensation is not because the bride and groom are princes and nobles, or celebrities, but because the difference between them is nearly sixty years.
The bridegroom was richard Rugner, a wealthy merchant with an eccentric temper, who was already eighty-one years old; the bride was a young and beautiful blonde, Cathy Schmidz, only twenty-four years old. On the wedding day, the scene was very lively. Billionaire Richard Rugner spent a fortune on a fairytale wedding for her bride, with Cathy Schmidz, a jewel-encrusted bandeau top with a purple chiffon skirt that mopped the floor, and blonde hair adorned with a white veil. She came to the wedding in a carriage pulled by four Lipzian horses, like the heroine of a Disney movie, and the waiter on the scene was also dressed in traditional German costumes, which had a fairytale atmosphere.
Whether it is the blessed people or the crowds who come to see the liveliness, they are all amazed by this marriage that crosses the age gap.
Before the wedding, Cathy said in an interview with Deutsche Zeitung: "We didn't deliberately want to fall in love with each other. But that's how love comes. Love has nothing to do with age. Similarly, Richard also acknowledged the age gap between the two in an interview, but he still said: "Except for the age difference, the others are very compatible." ”
Xu is that life is too plain, and it always needs the deeds of others to stir up layers of ripples in order to tell yourself that you are not living in stagnant water.
Therefore, you and I, who are on the sidelines, tiptoe and look at each other when the news of their love and marriage comes out. It is said that it is a wish for a lover to eventually become a family, whether it is watching a strange story and hilarity, and even questioning it in one way or another, or harshly condemning it.
Even if you see the person kissing sweetly, you still accuse the marriage of not lasting like someone who can predict the future.
In fact, why blame the love of others like this?
There is no clear definition of love, not limited to any rules, so only two people who are deeply in love have the right and right to decide the direction of this love. When a romantic smile ripples across their faces, who can say that they are not happy?
It is true that everything has walls and walls, but the reason why people set up all kinds of rules and frameworks is presumably to avoid too much harm and torture. If these rules not only fail to stop the loss, but hinder you and me in the pursuit of happiness, there is no need and value for existence.
In Blue, another blue, Yamamoto writes: "The root of a man's happiness lies in his willingness to be himself. Don't make meaningless assumptions like making another choice in the first place. What you hold in your hand, what you are tired of or accustomed to, may be what others desire. So be happy, be grateful, and quietly enjoy what you have now. ”
The reason why Richard and Cathy fell in love and bravely married despite the world's vision stemmed from their willingness to follow their own wishes and find the most suitable way of life for themselves. Living happily with their most authentic selves is their most fervent expectation.
Richard, an Austrian architectural tycoon, is famous in Vienna for its shopping mall, LunarCity, but what makes him even more in the spotlight is that every year he invites celebrities as his dance partner to the balls held by the Vienna Opera. Among these dance partners are Raquel Welch, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and others.
Therefore, his every word and deed is under people's gaze, and the slightest carelessness will lead to heinous remarks.
This marriage with a huge age difference has made him the protagonist in the spotlight, and the look in his eyes and the expression on his face are exaggerated in the sharp text of the reporter and the high-definition pixels of the photographer. Even his former life has been poured out by people like a number of family treasures. Indeed, judging from his experience of having four failed marriages, he is a very obvious marriage pessimist, believing that even the deepest feelings will be worn down by the trivial days after marriage. But pessimism does not mean giving up, and whenever he meets the person he loves, he will also be brave to pursue.
The ending, no one can influence. But the warmth or silence of the process depends on one's own life posture.
He is already a heavy curtain man, and he still believes in love. She is in her prime and hopes to meet a beautiful love. In this situation, the combination of the two can be described as logical. Although, there is countless controversies behind them.
On the wedding day, Richard intimately held his new wife and said, "Our marriage is full of hope. ”
Pessimistic, he made another attempt and exploration of love and marriage.
In the sea of chasing happiness, he and Cathy finally set sail behind the criticism of the crowd. In the process, they may encounter wind and rain, causing the sailboat to bump up and down, and even the danger of the ship overturning at any time, but who is willing to give up chasing the gorgeous scenery on the other side in order to maintain temporary stability.
Every love has a unique charm that attracts us to walk through the vast swamp to find our own happiness.
The world is not as stubborn as we think, and more often than not, the obsessions in our hearts imprison our hands and feet. The huge age gap in love is not the crux of the problem, the more important thing is how to love each other in this much-criticized love, and how to become a better self through love.
The moral of this fairytale love is that people still firmly believe in love after many injuries.
Whether you are in a quagmire or in a rumor, no matter what the situation, you should be tenaciously sure that happiness will eventually knock on the door. And you just have to live according to your own wishes, and when the doorbell rings, you don't hesitate to open it.
