My Family's role during my marriage: family is everything ❣️

Love the say is a beautiful thing ❤️ yeah I totally agree with that, because I found one🤗💃 and we got married. In the midst of love , one needs the love of his family and friends too.

I come from a place were the consent of the family before getting married matters a lot. To me family is everything and please never doubt the love your family has for you. Though sometimes they might not express it the way we think is most appropriate.

My mum and dad have always been supportive right from my childhood, and me bringing home a man for marriage wasn't an exception. They did everything within their power to see to it that everything was a success. At some point during the preparation for my wedding, I experienced a little financial challenge which got me thinking and worried. But my family came through for me and eased a lot of burdens.

The most shocking part was that it was not even about the finances, but the moral support they gave to to me.

My mum's advice was very helpful and it's still helpful to me till date. I remember this particular advice that changed my view about marriage. She said to me "Marriage is not about the ceremony but how you manage the affairs of your home after the whole wedding ceremony. The real work begins after the party". This particular words was timely and it has really helped me.

During the preparation for my traditional marriage as a young lady I didn't really know how it's been done. My parents were of great help to me. They took me to meet our family head and the necessary rite were done. I remember mum telling me the important items that is needed during the traditional marriage. At some point I was amazed that the little things I had overlooked were the most important. The guidance of my parents was very important and it helped me to have a successful marriage ceremony.

My Dad turned to my personal driver, he made sure I got to where I wanted to go and assisted me in transporting some of the items that were used during the ceremony.

My friends were not left out always calling to check up on me, and how everything was going ❤️, I felt loved, and secure. you know one day I sat and thought of if there was no family and friends, what if this people wasn't here to back me up? but you know some questions are better left unanswered.

So the planning was successful and we got married (I and hubby) and today we're expecting 🤦🤦☺️.

I love being around my family and friends, how about you? you can share your experience in the comments box
