Marriage

Novermber-December

This is the time of the year when everybody plans to get married. And, me being the most eligible bridesmaid will be busy nonetheless. 

Speaking about weddings, it made me think of marriage life. I had a friend who got married quite early and she told me that marriage isn't just about planning for a grand reception or anything, it is about a phase of being ready, where you are required to qualify yourself while entering a bigger realm of life full of responsibilities. 

This has made me realized that we need to strengthen our aqidah, straighten our akhlak, and be true to our niat before stepping into the married life. Because it is not just about loving someone for the rest of your lives, but it is also about carrying responsibilities on your shoulders, and by responsibilities, i meant; Family(s). 

I know i need a lot to learn, prepare and nurture before i get into a relationship. Therefore, i take this thankfully generous given time, to get myself ready mentally and spiritually because, someday, i will be married for a lifetime, not just a day. 

To those out there planning your wedding in the near future, i wish you all the best in entering a new phase of life. May Allah bless you always. 

Here are some pictures of my role model:
