Topic No. 1: Life After the Wedding - the Married Life.

What are the things you want them to know about life after the wedding?

As a wedding planner, I am also confronted with this question most of the time when my bride becomes a friend already. In some sort, I become a confidant. As I have always said to most of them, I wouldn’t trade my current state with anything else. I think I made the right decision to marry my husband. We both agreed on this.  They said that Marriage is not a bed of roses. I have a different take on this because for me, it is a bed of roses. Call me overly optimistic but that’s exactly how I felt about it from the day of our wedding right at this moment. The wedding day for me is an understatement of what marriage is all about. If you were extremely happy and flying in the clouds on your wedding day, life after the wedding or the marriage itself is something better. I guess this matters most if you married the right person. And for me, I did. We are already on our 6th year and I love everyday about it. Not to mention that I am also looking forward to each and every day in the future. In fact, fights have decreased when we got married unlike the times when we were just bf-gf.

Some points I’d like to share:

1.  My husband is a very understanding man, and he actually taught me on how to become as well.

2. We have set aside what we want each other to become instead, we are honoring our own capabilities to make the best out of our marriage.

3. We are not pushing ourselves to change for each other because even if we have our own weaknesses, we have learned to love and embrace those weaknesses.  

4.  We do not dictate nor expect each other to do things for one another, instead we are thankful and appreciative for the little gestures that show how much we love each other.

5.  We do not put each other down whenever we losses some battles, instead we uplift our spirit and boost our confidence.

6.  We never point out fingers as to who’s at fault or wrong, instead we acknowledge our own wrongdoings and we are always very forgiving.

7.  And most importantly, we compliment each other and we know very well how to compromise.

Marriage life is a bliss and that’s what should be in our minds so we experience it ourselves instead of just thinking the other way around.
