The Surprise
Wow it's our two months wedding anniversary, although someone might ask how long is two that they are celebrating an anniversary. It worth celebrating because the road to our marriage was full of hundle. Did I just say hundle, it was at some point worse than an hundle. I could say it was an experie

My Experience during our wedding preparation
For those that understood African culture when it relates to marriage ceremonies, you would know that you must meet your would be wife's family who are sometimes very difficult. I mean very difficult. They could even cancel your wedding process just because you could not meet up with their financial demand. Financial demand doesn't mean $1000, which is estimated at #500 per dollar in today's estimation. It goes beyond that financial demand. On the other hand, they will want to know your ethnic background if you're not from the same ethnic group. At this point you might lose your wife to be for the sake of ethnic background. They would also want to know whether you from a christian or from a polygamous home. The most annoying thing about some African in-laws, they will give you a six page list that contains the following:

  • Kindred list
  • Family list
  • Mother's adornment (clothes, shoes and bags of different nature)
  • Father's adornment
  • First son financial portion
  • Grandma and grandpas portion and others.

Although, some considerable families would reduce the list of items they give to you. After these phase had been settled, you will now proceed to the traditional marriage process. The traditional marriage involves celebration of all manner involving; beers of kinds, soft drinks, most interesting the unveiling of the African dishes well prepared.

The Joy worth Celebrating
The most exciting part is after overcoming the traditional aspects of marriage and tire the knots with the one you love so much. Love is truly a beautiful thing. Immediately we were pronounced husband and wife, it was a dream come true. We have lived this two months in joy and harmony. Once again join us to celebrate a union that is built on love.

This is it. A typical experience of what marriage entails and I'm glad to be hearing this from someone that has already experienced it first hand.

One thing is for sure, you can now call her your wife and it shows that both of you overcame the hurdle. Now, go ahead and celebrate every possible anniversary as they come.

Be it monthly or yearly. You deserve it.
