Went to a wedding yesterday, a wedding of old friends, their son, of mom and dad. Met with the aunties and uncles who last seen me when I was 13. All were surprise to see how tall I've grown and what a woman I have become. Yes dear aunties and uncles, I am no longer that curly haired girl with spectacles on. I am now a grown woman. So of course, all the usual questions were asked, "where are you working now?", "What do you do?", and the most common questions, "Bila lagi?"And like always, my answered will be this "Definitely not now aunty" or "Belum jodoh lagi aunty, but don't worry, I will surely invite you" or, "Tak de sapa nak lagi la uncle". Yeah, that would be the common Q&A sessions.
Weddings, when we talked about weddings, usually, the ladies will be the one to get over hyped about it. When we were little, we have set our dream weddings. What it would be like, what will be the theme, where, how, when, who. All those questions have already been answered. BUT! that was when we were still in our teeny boppy life. Now, we still have those dream weddings we fantasized about, the BIG BUT here is, we have finally came down to reality and realize, wedding is a big thing. We want it to be perfect, but we have budget constraint. We want to make it simple, but we still want it to be remembered by the guests.
Then we have another problem, who do we want to get marry to and when. Before, we always planned we wanted to get married at this age or this age, "I plan to get marry when I'm 25 or 26". Then, suddenly everyone becomes career minded and pushed the age to 30. Or, maybe some of us are not that career minded, like me, but we don't have our potential candidate and therefore the age got pushed back too. It is easier said than done.
All these problems come to mind when we talk bout weddings. Its not as easy as it seems. In the end, weddings and marriage would be the last thing on our mind, and just enjoy being single, while it last. But, when the time comes, everything will fall in its place.
To all the lovely couples out there, who are getting married, the ones who are busy planning for their weddings, and the ones that were already married, congratulations! Have a wonderful life together, may happiness will always be with the both of you and your future children. Marriage binds to people who are in love, but it won't always be smooth sailing. There will be some rough patches along the way. Just hang in there. Be there for each other always, InsyaAllah, everything will be fine.
Toodles~
