As a wife, as a partner, as a friend

To be honest, I haven't gotten used to being a wife to someone, and I wonder if it's because I've been assuming that role ever since I met the man whom I now call my husband. Some would draw a clear demarcation for the different roles they assume when they cross those invisible boundaries - from courtship to engagement and then to marriage - but I guess I like to put a lot on my plate in our relationship.

The past year has been nothing short of being magical - our solemnization, kick starting our preps for the wedding banquet, heading to new travel spots, watching our love abode stacking up steadily... At the same time, we would always take out time to reminisce on the past experiences, laughing over the silly things we did in school, collecting common childhood moments and preserving priceless milestones.

The next 9 months will be nothing short of surprises, painful planning and decision making as we anticipate our abode and our wedding celebrations. But one thing's for sure - we'll always have each other's back.

As one, forever and always.
