Married this Saturday.....

Well people, I'm now in KL, preparing for my coming wedding this Saturday.

What do I think about getting married?

Well, I look forward to get married. It's high time i settle down, be more responsible, and again, i do this in His name.

But what do i think about the process OF getting married?

TIRING. TAAAAI EEEEEE RRRRIIIIIINNNGGGG.

At one point, you just tell yourself... come oooon let's just get married already!!!

What advice do i have for you guys? here you go.

1. Never think money is THE biggest problem in the process of getting married. a wise man once told me that those who say that, they definitely have never gotten married. biggest problem would comme from the families. muehehe.

2. Patience... a whole shit load of it. at one point you would just want to run to a corner and brush your teeth, cook an egg, watch tv, eat cookies, and then cry yourself to sleep. but trust me, you need it.

3. start saving. unless you're a trust fund baby, then you can ignore this rule. simultaneously, there will always be last minute need of extra cash, both marriage related and non. example, car insurance, tax, last minute addition of wedding attire, house loan, etc.

4. Pray and pray. pray a lot, understand your responsibility as a husband and father, son, son in law. sometimes it may be overwhelming, but trust me, with a lot of thought, prayers, you'll see things clearer, you'll be more confident. cheesy as this may sound, its as true as it is.

5. your family and close friends matter. no matter how the situation goes, your family and your friends will always be there for you to make things better and take you through the thick and thin.

6. lastly, savor every moment of it. it'll be the experience of your life, and definitely an experience you'll be sharing with the people around you, your kids, friends, random people eating a roti canai stumped with you suddenly approaching them randomly, hoping to inspire them and maybe even scare them shitless and having fun doing it too. but really, do savor the best.

but well, let's just face it, without all the intensity, the pressure, the always changing guest list, the unconfirmed photographers, the confusing wedding programs, the sudden ADDING to more programs... you wont be able to look back and tell yourself 'I went through a LOT of shit to get married... but for all i know, it's damn worth it'.

i've been through dinners, presents, hugs, speeches both received and given. some are sad knowing that i'll leave my bachelor life, some are inspiring, some are borderline annoying, some are just... annoying. eheh. but all in good times. of course i have all the pictures but i'll post it later soon.

lastly, i love my wife, so much, and Dayana, thank you... for loving me and accepting me the way i am. i will try my best to improve myself to be a better muslim, husband, father for our family everyday.

thank you.
