Holaaaa, I miss this blog. So, to start off, let me tell the world that Michael and I… we’re now married! We’re husband and wife now. It still feels weird (and a bit of magical) to call him my husband but I’m going to get used to it. Haha. We did the Holy Matrimony on 6^th January and the Batak ceremony followed after on the same day. Two days after, 8^th January, we held the reception. All those events were much blast to us and I can’t quite explain how happy and thankful we are about how everything turned out. Thank God for the most, thank our parents from both side (still crying as I remember everything they have done to us. My prayer never changes, God give them happiness, please. And teach us as children to respect and love them. They are just the greatest!) and thank everybody (our big family, wedding organiser team, vendors, and everyone who had come to be part of our big day) for the helping hands. The party would be nothing without them.

We just got back from 3 day sweet escape, I mean honeymoon, in Bali (a post about our honeymoon will arrive later on!). I didn’t feel like leaving that place of tranquillity to be honest. Haha. Hell yeah, the reality of married life starts now. Bring it on! Haha. We have a temporary place to live just the two of us, at least for 1 year ahead because our real home is estimated to finish in 1 year time. And as happy as I am to live only the two of us, I’m also a bit worry about staying alone at home when Michael isn’t home, haha (such a spoiled brat). Mum is the one who keeps encouraging me that the adjustment will take place only one or two months and I’ll get the hang of it very soon. Then she said about being tough. Ok mum, thank you, I love you.

We got a lot of valuable messages on our wedding day. Wedding is only a day (or two days in our case) but marriage is a lifetime. All of our elders told us to put God first in our new family. We must be aware from the first place that marriage isn’t always about sweet things and romance. There are times that things are allowed to just go wrong and sometimes we just keep questioning why this or that happened. However, if we put Him and set aside our ego, we will get strength to go through the marriage storm, they say. I must not say it’s going to be easy. There is a teensy bit of worry, honestly. However, worry not. Trust in and lean on Him as the source of our love so that when rocky periods kick in and love seems to fade away, He the source of love himself will restore the love between us. It’s no easy if not impossible. On the bottom line, we are looking forward to seeing things unfolding in our little family. Hopefully and faithfully, good things will unfold. Amen.

Anyway, Happy New Year people (better late than never, haha)! Good wishes to everyone!
