We have been busy planning for our BIG day ;) Overall, there were a few challenges here & there that leads to some conflicts which i would like to share as its part of our journey.

1) Parental expectations

Many held on to the romantic idea that a wedding event belongs to the couple. Sadly, thats untrue. The event is really about bringing two persons with their families together. Jon and myself had some ideas on how we wanted the wedding event to be like..but we realised that we have to honor our parents in seeking for their opinion and meeting their expectations. Though i knew it theoretically, but i struggled to let go some of my ideas & expectations...I prayed over it. Well, God just revealed to me its "all about Him, not about me." When its about Jesus, I knew I we have to do what we can to honor our parents.

Well, couples out there..even for the future. Once you become husband & wife, the couple must stand together in making decisions together & be united. In the bible, it is stated clearly that we shall leave our parents and become one flesh with our spouse.

2) Compromising

This is so important. Sometimes, he/she may even feel taken for granted or being treated unfairly. But, seriously, there is no real fairness in this world. What i only know of in compromising is about the greater good of the person, of the relationship. Jon & myself went through many discussions on our invitation list, budget etc etc...well, all i say is we have to esteem each other than other selves.

3) We just want to be together...

"We just want to be together "is a statement that we have been summarising all our planning days, discussions etc. That keeps our committment strong & afresh :)

Well, i would say both of us look forward to being together :)))) We pray that we will abide in God no matter what happen, & we will not give up on ourselves & each other.
