Wedding & Marriage

My brother and my future (in 2 weeks time) Sis-In-Law are currently at the pre-nuptial depression phase. In one week, you could hear them arguing, quarrelling over minute matters umpteenth times.

Although I don't believe in marriage myself, I believe it is not easy to find THE ONE. Sometimes you see someone you like, but s/he doesn't reciprocate. Sometimes you don't like the person but s/he pesters you like a housefly. Sometimes both of you have feelings for each other, but you choose to ignore the feelings for fear of rejection. Sometimes THE ONE appears but at the wrong time. To sum up, it is not easy to find that someone, therefore you should treasure her/him when you have found that someone and not taking each other for granted.

So, I reminded my brother and his fiancee that "People plan eloborately for their wedding, but they often forget to plan for their marriage".

I wish Boy can be more grown up and mature. Hold the fort. Sue can be morer decisive.

Preparing the wedding is not about the wedding day but all of us have to enjoy the process. In fact, how it turn out to be on that day is not as important as how we enjoyed preparing it.

Guests will forget about the whole wedding the next week but we will remember every detail of our planning.

If they participate in the preparation of the wedding, it's others' wedding not theirs.

They have started taking more active roles in wedding preparation probably because of the pressure from days approaching. However, I found Papa is over-dominating in the entire preparation process.

Some may enjoy and indulge in recalling every "sweet?" details of their wedding day. Most don't. For... pressure overwhelms the supposed-to-have joy on that "sweet?" day. Source of pressure being exhaustion and the deliberate comparison made by members and relatives from both families, and the always present on-lookers who can't wait to point fingers at every small mistake made during the "sweet?" day. An always inevitable bitterness would be felt from the never absent criticism against the behaviour of one or more members of the other family. The "sweet?" day may end up being an upsetting one that the couple would least want to talk about for the rest of their life.
