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.”

Wedding page for Henry and Emmanuela Nze, Emeka and Dorathy Chukwu, A sample wedding page, more samples are on the drawing board. Have a happy marriage Saturday.

This is the sequel to the introductory post on this blog. As you must have read, if you desire to reduce and eliminate the uncertainties and costs of communicating your wedding event to your family and friends while adding value to your weddings, then Engagement Ink is the right place to visit.

How do we go about doing this?

At Engagement Ink, the value of social networks is harnessed to their fullness. Through pages, groups and friendings, your wedding page builds a web of connections where your communications have a reach as never before imagined. Name it, be they connected through their mobile devices, emails or social networking profiles, building a web of connections to each and every one of your family and friends has never been easier.

Through posts and comments on your wedding page, along with relevant photos that tell visual messages, you have the opportunity to tell the story of your weddings. How you met your spouse, why you decided to tie the knot, what the arrangement for the wedding are, before the D-day. On the Saturday of the wedding, you as a couple have the opportunity to reach out to your invitees who will not be attending through social channels so that whether through their mobile devices or personal computers, they can a part of the wedding by creating the wedding as an event. After the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. now have an added opportunity to share and make their family and friends discover the secret of their love and what happened on the wedding day.

Truly, weddings have never been more fun and interactive than now.

Engagement Ink gives the couple a big opportunity to make their appreciation or a big “Thank you” to all those who made the wedding a possibility through the wedding page connected through a web of connections that amplifies the message they wanted to say from the very start: “What a beautiful thing, to be husband and wife.”

The facebook page

We all love weddings, especially myself, even if it seems I am cursed to bachelorhood. So, we think about them whenever Saturdays there is the opportunity to attend one.

On the other hand, unless you have been part of a team planning for a wedding, you will not realize the enormous resources and time that are put to make a wedding a success any Saturday. This is why I thought couples needed another helping hand in order to make their weddings a success.

The cost of organizing a wedding is enormous. There is the cost and uncertainty associated with sending out invitations to your family, friends and well-wishers and waiting for an RSVP that might never come. Cost of budgeting for outlays like venues, cooks, wedding gowns and suits, wedding rings and cakes and scheduling the event itself. There is also cost and uncertainty of how best to communicate the wishes of the couple to the invitees of the wedding. Furthermore, after the wedding, the added uncertainty of producing a photo album and Video CD that might never get to the hands of the intended – attendees and non-attendees who the couple desire to communicate with after the wedding.

These and many other uncertainties and costs which over the years have added to increase in the amount spent by couples in organizing weddings was why Engagement Ink was born. Engagement Ink makes your weddings interactive, discoverable and shareable while reducing the cost of reaching out to your family and friends before, during and after the wedding event.

Here are some ways Engagement Ink intends solving those problems.
