AFTER THE WEDDING, WHAT YOU HAVE AHEAD OF YOU IS MARRIED LIFE.

It’s another week. Last Saturday was stressful and full of so much pressure. From when the cock crowed to 10:00 am when the wedding would have started, your mind raced with a million thoughts about what might go wrong.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong. The marriage register has been signed. You have kissed the bride and the bride has kissed you. Your family and friends who came to celebrate and joli with you have danced and eaten to their bellyful.

It’s Monday. The wedding has come and gone. What you have as newlyweds is a marriage ahead of you. Would you count a wedding page as one of the assets you possess?

WEDDINGS WERE DESIGNED TO BE HONORABLE IN GOD’S EYES

Weddings were always approved by God and the State. You and your mate have done the right thing. You have earned the right to be called Man and Woman, Mr. and Mrs. You can beat your chest to the whole wide world about this. She is your woman, the only one God has given to you.

Marriage is such a sacred institution that whoever made the wedding day its birthday knew what honor and sacredness meant.

Wise couples though do not celebrate only in the eyes of the public. To make your married life a success, you must make sure you can celebrate and share your beautiful moments in the private.

HOW ABOUT THOSE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS SHOT ON THE WEDDING DAY?

Ask any couple: “How many of your guests came back to see the wedding photos and videos after the wedding Saturday?” I bet you, only a meager few, and those who did, must be living at close quarters.

Why should you take so much pain to pay for the production of something which enjoyment no one gives you a feedback on?

Now engagement Ink thought that money should be put to wise use. So I created this idea of a wedding page on facebook, complete with the complete story of how the wedding went, with the intention that after the wedding Saturday, the wedding page would become a marriage page.

So on the timeline, for which pages I term “public figures”, the start of the page is your wedding page. Check out the timeline at the bottom of the wedding page for my first client,Henry and Emmanuela Nze, or the prospective clients I am working on, Emeka and Dorathy Chukwu. The wedding pages were created with the idea that the wedding day is the birthday of a marriage life.

ENJOY THE LIFE YOU HAVE AHEAD OF YOU

You and your mate have so much life ahead of you. There will be the wedding anniversaries, maybe the first year, fifth year or tenth year anniversaries. The babies will be coming. Six years after, Junior would be celebrating his entrance into secondary school. You’d have much celebrations ahead of you during your marriage. Why not celebrate them with fond memories, with photos and videos online that would never grow old, not even when sepia toned?

Share all this on the page you have created for yourself and your mate. Social networking and the Internet has given mankind another media where we can form a close knit society of shared values, shared joys and hopes.

Engagement Ink asks you to go through the pages which links you can see above and understand what I mean by asking you to come “…taste weddings that are interactive.” Maybe I can also add, “…marriages that are interactive.”
