Yes, I do
Today we begin the rest of our life
Together forever as husband and wife.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is at no time taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end with the honeymoon,
it should continue through all the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude
of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating
gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is finding room for the things of the spirit.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.
I was suppose to post this up last months, but I was busy with the wedding preparation.
Sorry for the late announcement about my wedding which held last month. Shock and surprise are the feedback from my friends when they knew I have got married. The marriage is simple but ended with holy and the wedding dinner only held in my hometown - Miri, Sarawak.
