Love is a friendship set to music. – E. Joseph Cossman
The frenzy of the last two weeks is finally over. Of course, there are still so many things to do but at least we could relax now without worrying about undelivered invites, seating arrangement at the wedding venue and such small details that would make Nissa’s big day a success. Apart from a few texts and a phone call, I haven’t heard from the newly wed for the last two days. They went to Cebu and are now in Bohol, a place she’s raving about. We always say that a woman is loveliest on her wedding day and she is happiest on her honeymoon. I am happy for both of them. 
I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures but it will probably take a little longer for the official photographers to deliver them. We are just copying some tagged posts by friends who attended the wedding. A lot of my friends who now have their own grand kids are telling me that it’s a great feeling to have your own “apos” to pamper and to play with. Of course, hubby and I are looking forward to that but we can wait until they are ready to have kids. It takes lots of adjustments and learning when you are a newly married couple. But learning together and loving it is always a part of the thrill of adjusting to married life. Along the way, one learns more of each other’s quirks and idiosyncrasies, and the lovable traits that you have admired before but are magnified because you will always try to show how much you love and value each other. It’s the guy who loves to spend the night with you admiring the beauty of the moon and counting the stars instead of watching the late night news who is I think more romantic and worthy of spending precious time with. And it’s the beauty of staying in love and growing old together that is worth admirable in a couple. Not all of us experience the kind of “kilig” moments that they describe in romance books but we can build our own as each day passes and as the years go by. The beautiful memories linger long after your kids have families of their own.
We must admit of course that in some cases, when problems set in, love comes flying out of the window. The verbal attacks are more frequent than the hugs and smiles. Nothing is perfect, we all know that and the success of one’s married life really depends on so many factors that sometimes we overlook because we are of the thought that we are secure in each other’s love. We should not be complacent and should always make an effort to let our spouses feel that they are important to us. Love may diminish over the years and we ask ourselves, “where has the love gone?”
I’ve told Nissa and Obet to put God in the center of their married life. The journey may not be as smooth as one expects but the uphill climb becomes a joy when you scale the mountains together.
