Being married, being a wife

I know I've gotten lazy to write and really backdated with the reviews. I really have no excuse for it. But that's not the point. The focus today will be answering the question a lot of people ask. How does it feel being married? How does it feel being a wife?

I couldn't answer. Not in the first month after being married. A lot of things were going on. Deep dark issues that after the wedding was over I felt relief. I was still mourning for nenek, there were family to entertain that I don't have time to think. I didn't have time to be married, to be a wife. It was to please and entertain people. They were duties which I knew had to be done after getting married. Duties that were rooted in tradition. Something not easy for my husband to understand. And tackling making him understand was a chore itself. It was tough I tell ya. Settling in. Living together. Although he moved in with my family, it was still a tough situation.

Understanding his family which are totally different from mine. It was the complete opposite. It was hard adjusting to this difference and I am forever glad that my husband made the decision that we will stay with my family and never with his.

Now coming in to the third month of being married, I could answer those questions. Being married is wonderful after setting aside differences and setting a rhythm in things. I'm as demanding as ever. He spoils me  more. I cook. He eats. We do the housework and chores together. He's considerate. Its better. Now  I pray that this will last. Amin.

The Wedding---Finally

After all the drama, relatives started popping up and behold it was the day of the wedding. The wait seemed very loong with the fights that we were having. It's definitely not easy. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I was very very lucky. I had a lot of support and help from my parents, my family, my friends and even old neighbours from Singapore. I loved everything about the wedding. I was nervous alright bout a lot of things but I bit my lip and told myself to let it go. I loved my make-up, my dresses, the decorations, the performance, the photographs and the presents. I would like to thank all that contributed to make it such a memorable experience. Yes...I shall update everything soon..soo stay tune..
