Borrowed Beauty

When you read the title"borrowed beauty", it would be fair to assume I was talking about make up.... and that I might have some rant about how girls lie to guys about who they are by applying tonnes and tonnes of make up.  But I never said anything of the sort and you're putting words in my mouth.

Beauty is such a strange concept.  I've written a lot about it in my other blog.  I think as people, we learn to strive for beauty and have a fairly common definition of beauty from person to person.  I think people would agree with me that brides look more beautiful on their wedding day than they normally do.  Why is that?  I want to propose that the "extra" beauty they possess on that day is "borrowed".  Maybe the beauty is borrowed from the groom because he doesn't need his for the day because no one cares about him.  Or maybe we borrow the eyes of the groom and see her through his eyes.

My thoughts on this haven't been fully developed yet but I wanted to write something today because I failed to write something yesterday.
