Commercials about weddings make them look so magical and care-free.

Weddings lead to a life of eternal happiness and romance.

Is it true for you?

For me, it is not true.

I am not saying I don’t like wedding. I love wedding and especially mine.

I love my wife too and everyday I told myself, “I can lose everything that I have but not her. I only have one her.”

Before my marriage, I was a carefree guy, in the sense that I can plan for my life and my finance.

But what happen after my wedding?

You know of any wedding that never went smooth?

None?

I know of many. In fact, all the wedding have their own stories to tell you, so do yours if you are planning one right now.

I have always asked myself what is the purpose of my wedding blog.

I have realised that during your wedding preparation, the last thing on your mind is most probably the wedding gifts.

Why do you need a wedding gift?

Wedding gifts are for thanking your fiance and your helpers.

You need to thank your fiance for trusting you and commiting himself to take care of you forever.

You also need to thank your helpers for willing to help you in your wedding planning. Without them, your wedding day won’t be possible.

“Oh no! Tomorrow is my wedding day and I haven’t got the wedding gift for my fiance!”

So, will this happen to you?

I hope not.

In fact, this post shares with you on how you can, at your convenience, get or make the wedding gift. And at the same time, give you some ideas on what to get. Though we thought that we truly understand our partner, we will be quite clueless on what to get.

Funny isn’t it? We have yet to really know the person we are getting married to.
