The Big Day

Finally,after months of preparation now you are ready to take the responsibility and not just any responsibility but the most vital and important responsibility in your life...there is still time to turn back if you don't feel doing it. Please don't think marriage is just for fun or just about sex and love, it is more than that. Trust me, if you have made up your mind and you are truly,truly,truly ready mentally and emotionally especially than go for it...do not have any doubt about it.
He or she is not perfect, there are many flaws but don't think about the flaws too much. Except it as part and parcel of life.As time goes by, personality will change, husband will take the personality of the wife and vice versa...believe me and don't be over sensitive if your spouse tease you about your flaws, it's normal talk nicely that you don't like it and really mean it and it will stop.
Back to the big day, make sure everything is ready before the big day. Better yet, a week before the big day everything has been confirm, you do not want at the very last minute the guest has nothing to eat because the caterer has some problem and the problem was that their lorry broke down...double,triple check about it, they will be a bit irritate but you don't want the trouble right?
Have some back up at the same time, just in case.Especially the caterer if you are having the reception at home but do't worry if you are doing at hotels and restaurants because so far Malaysian hotels and restaurants has never been known to fail their customer. Important tips, if you want a very convincing caterer or make up artist or wedding planner find one with good portfolio and have a lot of experience. Why? Normally, they won't or never did a bad job unless the customer is to fussy or maybe some thing came up that makes them unable to perform the tasks. Usually, they will inform the client earlier if they are unable to do so. That way, the relationship can still be maintain. Well, you are not the only one who is getting married...the rest of your family member are also hearing the wedding bells.
On the big day, wake up early and freshen up a lot, take a warm bath and use a scented soap,rose smells nice or lavender up to you...for men, wear a perfume but don't wear a very strong smell...not only it disturb you but also your bride and others. Remember, you will be sweating a lot because of nervous and the smell of your sweat and perfume...aggh!!!give me a break, it can make me faint. Feel good about yourself now that you are going to an important phase of your life and it shows that you are reliable person. Married people are more respected than single people because their perception of life are more wider and their opinion is wiser. Not to underhand the unmarried but married people will walk through different stages and dimension of life that unmarried people don't.
When the time comes for you to make vows, akad or whatever is it call, feel the scene and you will sense that the nature is singing for you...It's true, marriage is a holy relationship and even Mother Earth salute you...and if you really feel it you will feel happy, sad, thankful,grateful,love for your bride or bridegroom a pure love different from the one you feel before married and the feeling of belonging, content and safe and all the good feelings that you never experience before.
As the ceremony goes on, you celebrate it with your family, friends and well-wisher, you can feel the flow of happiness from your head to toe. You cannot stop smiling because deep down you are happy and that is why brides always look serene, shining and glowing on the wedding day.
That is why I think the reason for marriage should be purely out of love or for a very good reason and that both party are content to live with each other, willingly and ready to commit.
Ok got to go my son is cryig for attention...he's having fever...so to all newlywed,Selamat Pengantin Baru.
