It is so much nicer being a wedding guest.
Auntie E hosted us and we ate some more. As usual, Auntie E produced top quality food in copious amounts.
The sermon at church today delivered a message of great relief to me - God handles all details; ALL.
So it's a great relief to me. Coz after having to handle details for a recent special occasion, I am stressed by the thought of having to handle ALL details of my life.
Today, Sydney buses went on strike.
I've come back to the office today and folks have been asking me if marriage has changed me.
Given that I've only been married a little more than a week, I've this to say - YES! I'm much fatter now than I was a week ago.
Both families agree - We have been eating too, too much... But will that stop us? Nope.
I have to acknowledge a number of identities.
- My parents who have raised me and given me everything I needed and then some; including my two brothers.
- My brothers, with whom I have a love-hate relationship. More love than hate. And the hate is more like the usual sibling peskiness.
- My sisters-in-law, one usher and the other a last-minute matron of honour... Thanks, gals!
- My friends, especially those who came specially across continents, to attend my wedding.
- My church friends, who had unselfishly given up their time to help make my wedding in church really classy.
- And my in-laws, who have lovingly accepted me into their family.
