on weddings…
I am now almost two months married. There are still days I cannot believe it. Don’t get me wrong, I am really happy about it, except for the fact that I am here in the City of Manila and my husband is in Naga finishing up his contract with his employers. He will join me here for good in October, but he does visit every two weeks.
The wedding, MY wedding, was one of the happiest days of my life. My friends say that my smile reached my eyes that day. It is a wonderful thing to marry because of love. I also got to learn a few things about weddings in the Philippines nowadays. Gossips tend to think that the bride is pregnant, if not trying "to catch the last trip". I wonder what this says about us? Our society? Anyway, I have nothing against those who are pregnant before their wedding. At least, they have decided to keep the baby. I have heard from my cousin stories about young girls who go through abortion. It is a sad thought. I myself love children. I would play with kids in our neighborhood, sometimes offering to watch them when their parents are at work…for free. They make you forget your aches and pains and relieve your stress. Right now, I am still waiting to get pregnant though I feel it will still be months from the present…
On the whole, I try to live up to my new status as a married woman.
