A New Beginning

“I do take Nuraishah Bte Abdullah as my lawfully wedded wife with the dowry as stated.”

In one breath saying those words, I was bonded, by God and state, with my girlfriend of nine years in holy matrimony.

Phew! That wasn’t so bad, now was it? :)

I have at last fulfilled one of my life’s goals. It’s been a long nine years of courtship. We’ve been ready to tie the knot for a long time now, probably since I was still in university. Somehow I think the letter to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett asking for sponsorship for our wedding must have got lost in the mail somehow, forcing us to fend for ourselves. Nevertheless, we (somehow) persevered and with a lot (and I do mean freaking a lot) of fiscal help from our respective parents, managed to pull off the greatest stunt of our young lives. So what’s next? A family, of course! And no, I’m not going to pull that off my playing Sims 3 together.

We’ve already decided on two kids; of course, a boy and a girl would be extremely nice. The probability is 1/2 that I will have two children of a different gender. Puzzle: if I already have 2 children, and one of them is a boy, what the probability of the other being a girl? Bonus points for anyone who can supply me with the correct answer! Their names will be considered once I knock my wife up. I would love a nice simple names with a good meaning behind it, which is one of the main responsibilities that I will have to bear as a father.

Like I’ve said, I’m absolutely positively looking forward to married life. I couldn’t think of anyone better to spend my life with. Some things will change. Some things won’t. As an example of things that won’t change, she got me a PS3 as a wedding gift! That has got to be the single coolest gift any girl could give her man at their wedding. I’m looking forward to doing write-ups of PS3 games here!

Ah, the perfect girl for the imperfect guy.

“Honey, I’m very happy to have you as my wife. I cannot promise you that I will be the best husband, but I can promise you that I will never stop trying to be. I love you with very much with all my heart and wish nothing more than for us to be together until we step through Heaven’s door.”
