“My Wedding Blog” has come far. It is still a relatively young blog.

I started it in August 2006 as a medium for self-expression of inner thoughts and feelings and at the same time, I wanted to blog every wedding-planning details, no matter sad or happy.

I have done 6 revamps to my site for the past 9 months and for those of you who have been with me all these whiles knew how much pain I had gone through to get this wedding blog up.

My Wedding Blog almost died in March 07 when I wanted to give up as I found myself not having enough time spent with my family.

Many readers like you emailed me to hang on there and retain “My Wedding Blog” because they were still planning their weddings half-way. Others felt that the blog must stay so future brides can benefit.

I think the main motivation for me to continue blogging is so that brides as well as grooms can benefit.

My Wedding Blog is different and unqiue in the sense that it tells about the “ugly” side of wedding.

Unlike commercial wedding websites which only show-case the luxurious and lavish wedding lifetyle, My Wedding Blog also shares about the emotional turmoils any wedding couple can and will most likely go through from before marriage to after.

Marriage life is never always a bed of roses. There are thorns underneath too.

Now, My Wedding Blog has about 300 to 400 unique readers each day, about 200 subscribers and 41 Community Members. The numbers are still growing as you are reading.

I will continue to do my best to add value to my readers. I promise.

If your hubby is earning enough to support both of you even if you are not working, I want to send you my congratulation.

Normally after a wedding, the savings of the newly-wed depletes (or even in deificit) so much that it may take a few years for them to recover.

Traditionally, the role of a husband has always been the bread winner of the family. However, the role of a wife has evolved over the years as families nowadays can have two sources of income. One is from the the man, the other is from the woman.

The earning power of women have increased dramatically such that some women are earning as much as their husbands, if not more.

However, deep down inside, most women have the natural instinct of mothering a child still lie deeply in their subconscious.

Many women, if given a choice, will still choose taking care of their children full-time over keeping a job even if it is a highly-paid one.

Many times, such decision is not easy to make as there are other factors to be taken into consideration such as the earning power of the other significant half.

I remembered my mother wanted to quit her job soon after I was born so as to take care of me. She doesn’t believe in entrusting her own child into some domestic helper.

She rather trust herself.

I want to delegate this post to “My Wedding Blog” readers.

I want to thank all of you for your support and I hope “My Wedding Blog” has benefitted not just in your wedding planning, but also in relationship and marriage.

Here is a summary of my traffic.

Just received a news that the doctor says “got to be prepared for the worst”.

A lot of thoughts and feelings rush through me now.

I apologise for that. A wedding blog is supposed to be fun and loving.

Just like what we think marriage is.

Unfortunately, it is never true.

For those who are preparing your wedding or could be in the final lap know what I mean.

Planning wedding is full of hurdles. Lots of ups and downs.

Family conflicts. Different practices. Lots of expectations, visible or unseen.

I’m sure this wedding preparation journey had made you understand your partner better…

Knowing how he thinks, he works, his fears, his yearnings and so on.

Not to worry..there is an eternal time to learn about him.

(When I say him, I am referring to both genders. >.<)

At this point in time, behind my mind, I am thinking, dying is just like queuing up.

Friends queued up to get married.

Did you realise that alot of such times is also the times our grandparents grow really old and start to go too?

Lately, I had a friend whose mom is not well. In fact, she was semi-conscious.

I visited her a moment ago and she was asleep…asleep for the past one week or so.

In my heart, how I wish she would wake up now and be on her recovering journey.

But we know it is a slim chance that it may happen.

Any time soon, she will go to the Lord as what my friend had said.
