Marriage is a life-changing experience to both man and woman. And I reckon, the wedding preparation is the perfect initiation to this new role.

My life was literally put to a hold for a year as I undertook the challenge of preparing for my wedding. My husband and I have been married for 2 blissful years but have decided a year ago to renew our vows with God, our family and friends as our witness. We thought it would be easy, it's our second wedding anyway, but to this day, it amazes me how this one-day event can cause so much trauma and stress to our once peaceful and loving life.
