Ten reasons to get married.
Sep 04, 2008 in General, Wedding-planner
- You suddenly seem to have more money to spend (with joint incomes and all…)
- Now that you're going to be Mr and Mrs… you get to also file Joint income tax submissions!
- Diamonds and platinum rings. (I'm a material woman, cannot meh?).
- The elevation to aunty-hood, especially if you're a woman…
- For some reason, the moment you tell your colleagues you're getting married, they seem to 'respect' you more, as if married people share some kind of 'elevated' status. That must have something to do with the very Asian stereotypical thinking of 'your life is not 'complete" until you get yourself married.
- The sex that you can have with the approval of conservative parents.
- Conversations with your religious mentor now includes the topic of sex, how important it is in keeping your relationship alive and how you can communicate to your spouse regarding your needs in the bedroom. It felt weird when we first started discussing the topic, I'll write about that a bit later…
- You can now go on holidays with your partner ALONE with the approval of conservative relatives and friends.
- It is kind of okay to be married and fat, it is okay to have a well endowed bottom - apparently bigger butts give more opportunities for pregnancies, and that's supposed to be a good thing.
- Parents understand why you can't give them so much additional money anymore, in fact, they'll contribute willingly to the 'save the wedding / marriage' fund.
