When We Said "I Do"

On the 6th August 2010, my fiance and I signed a life-time love contract. He took me as his wife. I took him as my husband. We promised to love each other. To be faithful. In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for better, for worse. No turning back.

Singapore was the land we chose for exchanging vows. Our modest marriage ceremony was witnessed by our Mothers and attended by our direct family, close relatives and a few of my best friends.

I am now Mrs. SYK.

That was the legal part. Done deal. Moving forward, we both now need a serious planning for the real cross-country weddings.  A lot of work and preparations for our 'big day' ahead.

In the interim, we still can't help the distance between us, especially me. I can't agree more with a line that I read in a random love article this morning: When you miss your partner, days seem to creep and time seems to pass like sand in an hour glass. And I still find it hard to cope with the days when he is not around. Ouch!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, that's what they say. Tell me about it! Especially if your new husband is the one who is absent most of the time.
