Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
As Wedding Essence launches its new website (masha'Allahu wa alhamdulillah!), I'm reminded of the beauty of families. More specifically, I'm reminded of families who support each other, bring out the best in each other, and work together to facilitate each other's legit ambitions. It goes without saying that such blessings are from none other than Allah, the Most High, to whom belongs all praises, submission, and servitude. It is by His grace and facilitation that beauty manifests itself in our lives. In families, this beauty most often stems from husbands and wives, those of them who work towards beautifying the world with their joint efforts.
So, uhm, do I speaketh of ideals? Is reality much different? Perhaps it is! As my mother taught me, "Every bed of roses has its thorns." So the next time someone asks me "When are you getting married?" I think I might send them here to stew on the insights that Sherman and his buddies in the lagoon so nicely offer.
Enjoy!

The agonizing question of when you're getting married finally pushes you to make an effort toward finding a suitable spouse. But if you decide to join the game, then make sure you at least have some game.
There must be a handbook for this process. Some people say "too honest" is a bad thing, but surely there should be a bright side to it.
You soon learn that the process is indeed challenging, but it's also very insightful. Perhaps a bit too insightful?
Those, however, who bravely persist after a failed venture might want to consider a new strategy.
But bravery and hopes only invite surprises. Be prepared.
Some of us though aren't that brave and instead the pressure only surmounts. God helps us all.
For those who make it past the meeting stage, it doesn't take much time before confidence takes the lead. Good thing friends are there to light the way.
Alas, you decide to marry...
And if you were wise enough to write the reasons down, you might want to make multiple copies. Maybe even hang one copy on the fridge too.
Okay, okay... a few peculiar preferences can be indulged, especially when your partner tries so hard to impress you.
Some surprises are better shared before the moment of truth. Otherwise, it's important that couples have effective methods for resolving conflicts.
Marriages do reach some strange plateaus. Love? What's that? Does it come with dip?
But through all the drama, selfless consideration shines through in its own uniquely beautiful way.
Marriage and fatherhood is sometimes a bit overwhelming for men, so let's take a peek at Hagar's scene for a reflective moment.
You see, wives are dependable. You can always count on them to set the record straight. Be prepared.
Men eventually learn to embrace the role of a father...
...ensuring that they impart their wisdom.
From singlehood to marriage to parenthood, we surpass those familial challenges. We then find ourselves being weighed down by the other demands of life.
But through it all, there are always friends who we can count on.
Alternatively, professional help will have to do.
