Hello Ever -Welcomed Stalkers,
I have actually lost track of time, so I can't remember when exactly my last post was. if it was a long time ago and you have come on more than 3 times in search of an update, I am sorry. If you got on here by accident and really didn't want to read a new post from me, I am sorry too. :D Well Well Well. Where to start. WHERE TO START.
Well, I have been having more-random-than-usual thoughts of late, So I'll just address everyone of them in order of no order at all.
Well my aunt, a friend of hers and I were talking about invites in this country and how people actually send F.Y.I invites. yeah I didn't know what they were till I think last week (again my inability to track time). Well F.Y.I invites are invitations to say "oh I am getting married oh I just had a baby(you know announcements for stuff you have parties for), but you are not invited for the party, we are just telling you so that you can send presents". IMAGINE!!!
How come here on a normal day, in this part of the world they are willing to spend all their savings on shoes and shopping and electronics, but on what they refer to the most important day of their lives they are worried about spending their life savings. Back home it is entirely different, because on a normal day, they complain about how expensive pure water is, and on their wedding day they spend even what they don't have. Did you know that here, some people make their bridal party buy their dresses and stuff.
p.s I am not criticizing anyone, I am just wondering if it is possible to do both- spend lavishly and save for the rest of your life? I don't know why I am discussing this- told you it is more random than usual. I am just practicing for when I become a columnist for a bridal magazine- amongst other things
I think it is possible. I propose having a savings account for your wedding. People you best be making notes for future purpose.
Yeah... For a year, whatever you earn that you'd usually put in savings for your future house and kids and whatever else,just put it in your bridal account, even if you are not sure about getting married. Or you could do it for the first two years you get a steady income, because that is when parents are most understanding and want to help you get somethings. Why not let them get you that house or car they are offering to get you. So when the time comes you can spend everything in your account -the BRIDAL account.
Guys who are reading this, - I doubt many guys will read my bridal column when I do get one- you probably wouldn't want to get weird looks from the banking staff when you are opening this account. There's a solution, simply open an account for the future Mrs. Lagbaja. Trust me you will probably need it. Because the future Mrs. is a career woman doesn't mean she doesn't like being spent on...
Thank you Stalkers for letting me practice on you, though I doubt any of you finished reading it. :D
I love you still
