My husband and I are still in our honeymoon period--- we're going 2 years in marriage (plus an almost 2-year bf-gf relationship). So far, we are not experiencing a major concern in our family, but of course, I wouldn't say that we're having an easy life either. In the last CC meme, I already discussed that money becomes a sensitive issue in our marriage, but I still thank God because even though we whine about it, He still provides us.
The days that I consider the hardest for us way back just before our wedding, the days when we learned that I was pregnant. We were planning for a perfect wedding that time, but all of the sudden, I became pregnant. It felt like all the dreams and plans that we wanted for a perfect wedding and family shattered, and reality of a life with bigger responsibilities suddenly unfolds us. We even asked ourselves if we were really ready for it, emotionally and financially. But we had no choice but to be ready for it. We cried for the loss of our future dreams, as well as the expectations of our parents. Those were the hard days.
But hard days make us better and stronger persons. With our baby, we became more motivated and inspired to give the best that we can be in life. With our baby, we plan for new future dreams. With our baby, we our marriage became stronger. With our baby, the world becomes a fun place to live in.
I am aware that harder days will come in the future. But my family's faith in God is stronger than them.
I don't understand how your being pregnant shattered your dream wedding. You can still have the perfect wedding even if you had bump on your belly, hehehe. Oh well, I bet you still had the perfect wedding with the perfect kid after couple of months. I am so happy that God provides for you all the time. Sometimes, money cannot be the reason for misunderstanding, otherwise, everything will fall apart.
ReplyDeleteHehe. Our dream wedding was worth half a million. pero since minadali kami ipakasal, kasi gusto nila wed na kami ng asawa ko before ako manganak, naging low budget ang wedding (and most of the time, hindi ako ang nasunod sa mga gusto ko sa wedding and hindi ako maka-angal kasi hindi naman ako ang gagastos. Hindi man lang ako nakapag-spa man lang or makapagpa-facial nun kasi preggy ako. Kahit foot spa hindi ko magawa-- and I was unemployed din that time). Minsan nga iniisip ko gusto ko ulit ikasal with my husband, haha! But good thing we got a good photographer who captured our memories in a very beautiful way. :)
