Some couples only remember to celebrate during their birthdays, wedding anniversaries and other important occasions.

What if they treat everyday just like a wedding day?

from clarkflower.com

I would love to and I’m doing my best to follow this routine. There is no need any special occasion, and that is why I buy my wife a bouquet of flowers once a month to surprise her.

Even if she wanted a reason, I would say it is a prize for her for working so hard everyday.

Everyday, we ask about how each other’s day went. We are interested to hear what has happened throughout the whole day.

No filtering. No screening. We wanted to hear both the good and bad.

We make an effort to show interest in each other’s likings.

Would you want to get a like-any-other wedding invitation cards or a customised one?

Hotels normally have the common designs for their in-house guests and if you will be one when you signed up their wedding package.

Some wedding couples may not like their designs as they are too common for their grand affairs.

They want something that people talk about. They want something that project their personality. They want something that is like them.

Depending on the design, technique to make the card, the expertise of the professional printing it and the number of invitation cards you are printing, cost may differ.

It may start around $10.

Do stay within your budget even if the wedding card you want costs more and you want it badly.

Although wedding invitation cards set the tone of your wedding, making it even more perfect, the value of keeping your wedding expenses within limit is priceless.

Many wedding couples ran into credit card debts because they wanted to give their wedding the best of everything and this is an excellent excuse to splurge on whatever they can get their hands on.

There are 3 types of customised wedding invitations:

After blogging about men’s ideal wedding gown, I want to show you something that threw me off my chair.

You know that wedding gowns come with different lengths of the trains, some some, some long, others very long.

I was surfing net and I saw this.

“In northwest China’s Urumqi city, a unique wedding ceremony attracted a lot of attention. The train of the bride’s wedding gown stretched 99 meters, making it the longest one measured in China to date.

50 flower girls were needed to hold the train for the bride so that she could move. Prior to this one, the longest wedding gown in the country was 67 meters long.”

According to Chinese Wedding custom, a pair of Chinese candles have to be placed by the newly-wed bed.

The candles symbolise a long, enlightened life for the couple.

The candles can be replaced with bedside lamps. As time changes, such lamps have been replaced with battery-operated lamps with modernised motifs, scented candles and even votive lamps.

Personally, I feel such Chinese beliefs of having physical items to bring blessings to the marriage life can only means as much what it meant.

Meaning that, if newly-wed couples want a long, enlightened life for themselves, they have to work hard, no less than how much work they had placed into planning their wedding.

So how can newly-wed couples have a long, enlightened marriage life?

There are a few things you can do:
1. Both of you could take turns to join courses of their interests.

Let’s say the wife likes bakery class but the husband doesn’t. They may want to take part in the first year of their marriage. Then, they can join wushu class that the husband has interest. The cycle repeats again in the following year.

2. Weekly dating must carry on.

Set aside a day completely just the two of you. Go out to catch a movie or have a meal at your favourite restaurant. It doesn’t matter what both of you do. What matter most is do it together.

3. Take some time out of eac day to hear about each other’s day.

There is so much happening each day of our lives and we want to share with our love ones. The stories may not always end with happy endings. That is not realistic.
