no taj mahal, but it is built out of love...

the gazebo that adam built...with love

the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan may have had the Taj Mahal built as a symbol of love for his wife, but he had twenty thousand people deployed to build it. and of course, all the work and that many people resulted in a majestic and beautiful building which happens to be India's most famous architectural wonder.

this is the gazebo that adam is building and it is almost ready after months working on it with his two brothers-in-law. he has been spending so many weekends over this gazebo that it sort of irked me because it resulted in very little time with me over the weekends. and weekends are always the highlight of our relationship as we have more time than other days to spend together, over the internet obviously poor us, as time and having to wake up early the next day for work are not a factor.

despite being a baby over the fact that i am losing him to the hours spent on the gazebo, i know that he is taking his time to ensure that the gazebo is built to perfection, as much as he can help it.  he told me he is putting all his energy there because of love. and he told me that that is where he wants to hold our wedding, where we will  exchange wedding vows.  the gazebo is being built slowly but surely, out of love. it may not be a Taj Mahal, but i find the gazebo turning out beautifully.

the Taj Mahal may be an architectural wonder and this may not. but the thing is u see, Shah Jahan didn't build the Taj Mahal with his own hands, and i doubt he had any part in physically building it, except perhaps to give instructions and ideas on the design.  this gazebo meanwhile, is built by the hands of a man that loves his woman... no biggie perhaps i can hear you say; after all, it is just a gazebo *eyes rolling up*.  but who would be able to say the same thing as i do?  who would be able to say that she gets a gazebo built by the man who loves her to have it perfectly done for their wedding?  u see... i do... and eventhough it is just a gazebo, it sure as hell means a whole lot to me.

p/s adam, thanks so much love...
