So, you want to get married, That’s nice. But I hope you realise marriage is not a bed of roses. It takes determination and hard work from both parties consistently. I was inspired to prepare today’s blog post because I somehow fell into the “wedding clips” deep hole on Instagram yesterday. Don’t ask me how I got there, because I couldn't even tell you even if I wanted to. All I know is that one minute I was watching successful entrepreneurs make speeches on how they built their businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of dollars, the next minute I started seeing bridal trains and wedding services.

Anyway, as I scrolled through the comments section of the wedding posts, I kept seeing people's comments on how they couldn’t wait to get married and how their marriages would only be filled with sunshine and rainbows because their love would see them through. And I kept thinking to myself.

People kept going on about how marriage is not hard and how their respective marriages would never feel boring…
