Weddings! My husband and I have been 5 years legally married since the 23
rd of November 2003 and 3 years officially wedded with a religious ceremony and living together since 31
st August 2005…
I have 5 weddings to attend this month, and every year around this time I normally have weddings to attend. It is an auspicious time for Malaysians, whether you are Malay, Chinese or Indian.
This got me reminiscing about my own marriage, where hubby and I were before and now. It was never easy, tough in fact; getting together, going through with the wedding, settling our differences especially our religious beliefs and living together to top it off. It’s a lot of work and the 2 of us who got ourselves committed need to stay committed to working it out. It’s amazing when I come to think of it now, how we got through what we did, and we’re still here together despite it all.
On my 1st wedding anniversary, I was heavily pregnant, a few days later our son was born.
On my 2nd wedding anniversary, I attended 2 weddings; 1. Of a good old friend V to a guy who used to be in the same tuition with me. I used to tease them together, and they did end up getting married at the end, 2. My uncle who remained a bachelor until 50 and then decided to tie the knot on the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia’s Independence Day. His wedding did come out in the papers as he was 50 when the whole country was celebrating the 50th Independence Day.
This year on my 3rd wedding anniversary, I will be a maid of honor. My good old friend K’s wedding is on the 31st and she has invited a bunch of us friends who have managed to remain in touch and known each other since we were 13 to be bridesmaids. Now what better way to celebrate my anniversary! I’m looking forward to it.
There will be many more things that my husband and I will need to work out. We have just started off. Looking back, I can see how much we’ve changed and adjusted with each other while we are trying to grow up and figure things out on our own as well. Life is a journey, and we change everyday. Making it work between 2 individuals takes a lot of giving and having the best interest of the person you love at heart.
But I must say this now; I have no regrets being married. It’s a risk worth taking whatever the outcome may be in the end.

Congratulations Natasha! Every relationship requires work. In fact, I just watched a Bollywood movie - Aaja Nachle, and there's a part where the lead actress says "If you take it as work, it will be difficult. So, do it with love. Then, it will not be so difficult." (this is my rough interpretation).
I wish you all the happiness, joy, and blessings for you and your family. God bless.
