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.
Life is so blissful from the time I met you. Ten years seem so fast, I can still recall everything especially when you said in the proposal: “Marry me now and I’ll court you forever!” That made me say “yes” right away! Six years of all wonderful things of being married to a great guy. I thank the Lord everyday because of you. And I’m counting more and more years. I look forward to still walk hand in hand with you for the rest of our lives. I’m sure we would conquer more dreams together! You and the kids are my life…nothing else! Happy 6th Year Wedding Anniversary! 
celebration yesterday went well. Guess where we went? SM Megamall to buy the little girls their bikes! Margaux has been urging and urging for a week now that she wants an “orange” (her fave color) bike. But there’s no available orange so we just got her a pink motorbike which is rechargable. We also got Bianca a small red bike. They were ecstatic and was eager to go home right after buying the new toys. It was jam-packed in SM Megamall because of the 3-day sale. We took advantage cause we got those bikes for 20% off. Great savings!We brought them home after and the husband and I proceeded to Greenbelt, Makati to have an-hour of massage in The Spa, Greenbelt. We checked out first the restaurants in Greenbelt 5 so that made us decide where to dine in. Our options were: Chateau 1771, The Maison, Myron’s Place and Fish Out of Water. We finally decided to check out and try The Maison. It was an overly delicious dinner at The Maison. We made thr right choice. We ordered the Chef’s Salad, Seafood Marinara and a 300gm Fillet Mignon steak! Whoo!, lean mean that was! Yummy and truly juicy. I want to go back here to try their famous and big serving of Ribs. It was a well-spent anniversary celebration!
and we will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary. I’m desperate already on what to get the husband. I really do not know what to give. Maybe, just my utmost love and support? lol! Ok, fine. I have reconcilled with him. I just overreacted yesterday with a very petty thing. I have been asking him as to what he wants, but he would never entirely mention it. But I have a hint that he wants an LCD TV. But I feel that it is not timely to get it since we don’t have a wall to put it on yet. Maybe next year, when we build the house already. I can even consider buying a home theater furniture to partner with it. As for this year, I’m still undecided.
Yesterday, Dicky and I marked our 10 years of being together. It was January 4, 1998 when we became a couple. Exactly 4 years and 4 months after, we got married last May 4, 2002. It has been 10 wonderful years together! Dicky has been very good to me. A very loving and supportive husband, a good provider for the family, and a great dad.
We look forward in creating more beautiful years together!
