Wedding Vs Marriage

I recently heard this piece of advice from a friend of mine to another friend who was getting married soon, and I thought it was very well-put.

He said something like: “While it is good to spend time preparing for your wedding (婚礼), ultimately the most important thing is to spend time preparing for your marriage (婚姻).”

How true.

I think people are sometimes too preoccupied with preparing for their wedding (i.e. the ceremony), that sometimes they may neglect preparing for their marriage (i.e. the state of being in union).

yup, a good reminder.

sometimes, preparing for the wedding actually brings out some issues. But then again, it should be a happy occasion that help you look forward to the shared life ahead. In fact, the preparation should be a time of bonding.
