| [slm] Inshallah on December 26th 2003, I will be getting married to a wonderful guy. Mashallah! Alhamdulilah both of our families get along with each other rather well. There are a lot of married folk on here and well I guess I'm looking for tips, advice, stories, comments etc...anything really, just so that I am able to get a better understanding/outlook on it all. Honestly..it still feels like one big dream that I cannot wake up from! |

| W'salaam :) You know, I'm sort of afraid, but happy as well. Does that make any sense?? I guess I don't know what I should be doing in those first few weeks/months once I am married...especially if I will be living with my in-laws (not sure where I'll be living as yet). I'm also starting to feel a bit sad--leaving my family...not living with them I mean. My grandmother has already cried a few times and has even told me that there are tears ready to fall. :( |

| as'salaamualaikum ;D :-X :-* MABROOK!! :-* :-X i too got married recently, alhamdulillah. :-X it's the best feeling in the world. :) i don't know if i've mentioned this before, but the best advice i got was as follows: take everything in. don't worry about anything. there will be brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends to worry for you. :) enjoy each and every moment. :) that is how you will inshAllah remember everything that went on at the wedding. :) the week of my wedding - i was totally chill, alhamdulillah. :) i spent a lot of my time with my sister (who came from saudi :)) and some cousins that came the weekend before. :) as you said you are already missing your family, but turn that into something positive. :) spend more time with them doing random things - like having islamic trivia after dinner. :) that way, you gain knowledge, and share good times with the family. ;D i moved after i got married - from houston to detroit. my husband has family here, but they don't live ever so close. my in laws, unfortunately, live in toronto. :( anyhow, i could go on forever . . . enjoy enjoy enjoy. :) may the Lord, guide you two on the straight path, make you the strength for each other, and give you both a lot of sabr to understand one another. :) ameen! ;D |
