The right to pursue happiness

Today I met a couple.
Their story moved me.
A young couple who recently decided to get married after a year long relationship, even though their story had many unique details that lead them to the inevitable conclusion of a formal sense of union, in the presence of their loved ones.
I guess the sentence that striked me the most about their love, has the awareness of the importance of the details in the lives of each other and the impact they have for one another.

The darker side of this beautiful story is the need they have to share it with the ones that matter the most for them, and how it is so difficult to overcome the prejudice that lingers in the ones that do not accept what lies beyond their borders of knowledge - no matter how limited this knowledge might be.
If there is something that I have been learning recently is about uniqueness. Each of us is unique. Each of us has a time of events that occur specifically at a given moment. That moment will be gone, whatever reenactments you might wish to do will not be comparable to that moment.
So, to choose not to attend a specific moment of importance of these two people, will not be possible to repeat in the future. The action of contempt for that moment cannot be erased.
My opinion, is that for the right of happiness all you need to do is being consistent and truthful with yourself and put the action that completes that though it to play. If others have problems accepting their choices, that must not be a block to go fourth.

That being said, it does not mean that the present is in jeopardy, even if moments from the past are lost, because you can always take steps to make mends of what was lost. And although you can't change the impact of your action, you can promote new actions that start to balance what was lost and eventually show the path to recovery.
We have to stand by the people we love and the choices they make for their happiness. It is their life and we are committed to make it as happy as possible.
Whatever dreams may come. this speech of awkard tales is about, if nothing more, recokning with the right of every one to be happy with the choices each one makes as long as no direct harm comes from it. If the harm of another is driven from a self sense of prejudice, then its the person with prejudice who is responsible for "his" pain and not the set of choices.

I expect that this couple may overcome the walls that stand between them and those they love, so that they might enjoy their own sense of happiness in the company of those they love, and should love them back, no matter what their dreams may be
