We'only just begun

"we've only just begun"........... the song by the Carpenters. A perfect choice for couples who choose to share their lives despite the ever changing, fast moving and "everything-for-myself" world today. This was the song me and hubby sang during our Catholic Marriage Preparation Course too............

13 year together and 2 kids later, I dare say this journey of partner hood has no destination or endpoint. It involves the continuous, undying tolerance and faith and giving-in from both parties to enable the picture of marriage to blossom into something worth admiring. And yes, humour and fun are indispensable.......

We happened to be among our friends who tied the knot earlier, so we can truly conclude that wedding and marriage preparations are really "not small matters". If there is no solid planning and is a last minute thingy, then there is no doubt that frustrations and unavoidable outbreaks of arguments and disagreement will take place (did not happen to us, though). So our advice is, PLAN EARLY. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN. Do a lot of research on the different aspects of wedding - dinner venue, wedding gown provider, studio hunting and booking, makeup and photograhy specialists..... the list goes on.

We've hereby compiled a series of useful information for young (and not just young) lovebirds out there in order to share our experience and knowledge. Hopefully the information helps all in the resources hunting and decision making.
