one of my best buds, marlon (or cardz as lots of us usually call him), will be getting married on 18th october. i had the privilege of meeting his wife-to-be, janice, just a while ago. we (marv, sev, arvin, vida, and the others) met the couple at the mall. we were on a last-minute scamper mode to scout for wedding gifts on a sunday afternoon.
all i can say is marlon's wife is adorable and i really think my friend will be happy to spend the rest of his life with her.
congratulations guys and we wish you all the best. a piece of advice: marriage is a difficult thing. i shit you not. i've been married for four years now for crying out loud.
i have no intentions of scaring the living day lights out of you both but you have to understand the reality of two utterly different people about to make a commitment to be together for the rest of their lives. in fact, getting married is the easiest part of it all. you go get a judge / priest to ratify the act and have some witnesses to stand in as proof of your commitments. you exchange vows and say i do. then kiss each other and party the rest of the reception away. but what happens next will be the true measure of commitment and love.
you must remember to always, and i mean always, communicate with each other. love and money are a distant second compared to an open, sincere, and healthy communication process between the both of you. always iron things out. never leave anything, no matter how petty or juvinile it might seem, undiscussed. always converse and make each other laugh. you'll see, everything will fall into place.
another note: contrary to earlier reports, i will not sing at your wedding tomorrow. why? i've to much respect for the vows of matrimony thank you very much; plus i wouldn't want anyone to have an upset stomach during the party just because of my crooning.
i'm out.
