Cash Gift on Wedding Invites

I know that life nowadays is not that easy specially that we are all experiencing financial crisis. But I don’t think couples are allowed nor it’s reasonable enough to put in your invites something like “if you wish to give a gift, monetary present is preferable and much appreciated” or any other way of saying you prefer cash gift. For me if I see those kind of words in a wedding invite it’s no longer a wedding invitation but more of a solicitation. Besides not all people are broad minded and can look at this in a possitive way. Like for some cultures and tradition this kind of wordings is odd for them. So I think if the couple wants nor prefer cash gifts it’s more proper if they verbalize it but also consider the fact that they should wait for the invitees to ask which they prefer. Remember the event is a wedding, a union of two souls and not a charitable event.

Bridal Handbag

Handbag is the another accessory for a bride to be pad attention to. Do not commit the mistake of carrying a regular bag along on your wedding day. It will mar your attraction as well as people’s exuberance. Always carry a bag which matches with your attire and look. For being on the safer side choose a bag in color which goes with every dress. Moreover, there are several bags available in varied shapes and styles. You can go for the ones with long strapes or with short straps or small, sleek and stylish ones according to your taste. Crotchet bags, knitted bags, cloth bags with bright colors and flowery patternslook great with bridal wear.

It’s her dress, her jewelry,her make up and so forth.However the most essential accessories for an indian bride primarily constiute of footwear, Hair accessories and jewelry.

Spices of Happy Marriage

No one wants to be betrayed in her wedding day.  All set for a wedding day of my friend when she received a rumormonger concerning the gender of her soon-to-be better-half.  The rumor also came to the knowledge and caused trouble to my friend’s relative, and even express disapproval of pursuing the wedding.  Afraid it might caused the cancellation of the wedding and be embarrassed, she ignored the rumor and hold on to how well she knows her boyfriend.  She didn’t even bother to interrogate the guy on the subject. She positively thinks that if it is true, it would have been discussed voluntarily to her.  She heard nothing from the guy and the wedding was successfully celebrated.  They live the life of a normal newly-wed couple for two years and gradually, my friend, probably because of the issue before her wedding- becomes ardent in observing every bit of their daily life.  As to date, still afraid to open up the cause of her anxiousness, my friend feels they build a wall that parted them most of the time, but still it did not bother her guy even a bit.  Thus, as expected, sometimes start petty quarrels between, until one time, she burst out her agony in the middle of their argumentation, in full surprise of her husband.  And that made the door open to discuss and clear the issue.  Now, my friend is contented with her life together with her understanding husband and little princess of her life. It was just proven that open communication and trust are significant spices in marriage.

Sanctity of Marriage

Lots of people of course still holding o n the sanctity of marriage. But why most couples opted to be together out of wedlock? Lot of reasons was cited. 

Some says that they just want to be practical, after setting a period of time together and found it would not worked, they could be in separate ways without so much agony on so many things-as simple as that. They actually made a perfect plan such as not having a baby for the purpose of avoiding the occurrence of problem in due time. 

Some says, marrying a person the traditional way – considering the widespread poverty – is just a waste of money for you have to please the clan of both parties aside from friends and colleagues.

Another reason is unexpected pregnancy, if getting married is just for the sake of giving a name to a child, just to protect a name, and just to hold on the traditional conservatism, well expect that marriage would not prosper.

The trend is live-in, most common brought about by the recent fad, which is also something similar with being practical – if it would not work, then get rid of your partner instead of unworthy sacrificing for let say being a buttered partner, just like that.

Despite the truth on these reasons, still most people consider the sanctity of marriage not only due to tradition and regardless of culture, but they still believe that living together in the matrimony of marriage is the real meaning of loving someone and yearning for what is called a FAMILY.

Initial Impression Should Never Last

I once encountered a couple who shared their story with me. They were married late for a reason they considered the same rationale why some people opted to stay single rather than getting married. And this is the belief on first impression.
Most people still believes it is first impression that would last. They are the people who scared of committing mistakes in choosing their better-halve, they are the non-risk-takers when it comes to marriage which they believed a commitment for life, which is true. They usually rely on how they feel about the person when they first met – or the so-called instinct.
This is what was happened to the couple and wanted it to be shared that it was a big mistake if this belief would be the basis on deciding for your future. They believed that relationship should always be given a chance to grow, support and should always be taken care of if you want it to be in good shape.
Everybody should have been given an opportunity to prove themselves of who really they are. Probably it is love that really binds this couple to take the risk of trying and giving room for their emotion to be discovered. True enough, they said that if they kept on holding on to this wrong belief, they would not have been given the chance to feel the happiness they have with their kids. If there is something we want to have or to do, no one will get it or do it for us but ourselves, so let us not be suppressed by anything that’s not exist and be afraid not to try.

Arranged Marriages

Do arranged marriages work? This doesn’t concern many third world and developing world parents who just want their kid to be paired up. You can’t force love on somebody, and what if your child is not interested in the opposite sex? That would be discrimination, wouldn’t it? These are all arguments that those against arranged marriages have put forward.

But on the other side of the spectrum, parents say that it removes all of that nervousness a teen who tries to woo or court a partner goes through. Simply pairing people up removes all of that.

So, which is better? I’m not exactly in a position to say (as a single white male…) but I guess it’s just personal preferences. I’m sure in many countries a blood feud could be started by refusing to marry your arranged partner – I’m just thankful that I can choose whatever partner I would like!

My cousin got married yesterday

Yesterday, my cousin got married. It was weird, because I haven’t seen my cousin for decades, and she suddenly married. She seems doesn’t recognize me, nor I remember her how she look. We haven’t seen each other for while, because we don’t have closed relationship like normal cousins. It was my first time to see her husband too.

I don’t really enjoying it, nor I hate it. As matter of fact, I left the party a little bit earlier that I expected.

I also wonder when it will be my turn to get married.
