Soon after your wedding, the natural stage to go into is family planning. If you are pregnant, there is another 9 months to prepare yourself and your home for the new addition to your family.
There are a number of things that you should buy in advance which are either necessary or could just make your life easier when you return home after birth.
Just like in a wedidng, you will be spending another big boom preparing for the new arrival of your baby.
I have been looking around for different baby prams.
Some are light and convenient to be brought around while others are heavy and bulky, though sturdy.
If you think that wedding planning is tough and have many things to be done, you have yet to see your to-do lists for your new born.

“I’m with someone else…it is not your fault…it is mine…”
How many times have you heard these statements in tv shows exhibting infidelity?
The man and woman move on in their own separate lives, as if nothing happens. Some may attend some marriage counseling and they still move on their lives after a few sessions.
Is everything fine then?
Or is something happening deep inside them and they don’t want anyone to know the emotional turmoil they are feeling inside?

Time flies and it is soon the wedding of a very good female friend of mine.
She first announced her wedding in November last year and now, it is already April. And her wedidng is in June.
It is just 2 months from her big day. I was asking her how is her wedding and seemed like there is not much requests from her.
My sense is that possibly she may have her army of conusltants and wedding helpers to assist her.
But then…it may be because of this.

I remember a friend told me that getting married is easy. But making your marriage works is even harder.
He is a proud father of 3 daughters, age 10, 12 and 16 and he has a lovely wife.
Many times, I am wondering how many children do we have in our new family.
Having planned our wedding and our nice honeymoon, we are now in debt. I think in Singapore, many couples are. Maybe 8 out of 10.
There are different types of debts, be it you loan your money from the bank or from your parents or from friends.
There are the lucky few who got their weddings fully sponsored by their parents.
Are they really lucky?

“Hi JR,
We just had our meeting of our parents on 8th November. I’m not very happy with my mother and my fiance’s mother as both of them kept repeating that we, the youngsters seem not to have our own point of view and are not specific enough in the wedding arrangement we want to make for ourselves. Thus his mother kept saying that I, as the bride, seem not to know what to prepare for our own wedding. This makes me feel very upset. I also feel that it seem that they are not interested in our wedding. It made me regret agreeing to get married in the first place.
The other problem I am facing right now is that my wedding will be on 23 November 2008 and I have not prepared anything yet, and I do not know where to start preparing.
I’m going crazy soon!!
From Susan”
