That’s a funny tradition indeed. So, what if the groom is stingy and won’t give money in exchange for giving back his shoes?

I have read and saw on TV Indian weddings and they are really lenghty cermonies and rituals, though very enjoyable to attend actually.

And it seems it involves a lot of money, like the dowry? I think if one is poor, then can’t he marry a girl in a simple ceremony?

Here if the couple would want to economize, they just get married civilly. At least they will only have the parents and godparents and closest family to feed after that for a celebration.

Here too, getting married is also expensive now, if the bride wants a big wedding. So impractical.

My hubby and I got married in a simple church rites. Only about 50 people including the entourage were present at the church and at the reception. But at least, after the wedding, we already have a refrigerator, sala set, cooking utensils and gadgets and TV.

Hubby and I are both practical persons. 🙂

I am good with cashless money , like using the debit card. At least with the debit card you are still cautious in using it, because if it doesn’t have a balance in there, you cannot use it.

But not with a credit card, wherein you are given a purchasing power so big, that if you keep using it, you will be in deep water. It will have a big interest and would keep getting interest when you pay in installment or the lite scheme.

Nowadays, here in the Philippines, people are already so much into debt because of the credit cards. Sad, that these people are now being harassed by the credit collectors of being sued for not paying the entire amount including the big interest, once they skip paying the monthly lite payment.

Debit card , yes to me .

Living in denial is the greatest injustice you will ever do to yourself. Many times we make mistakes but we will always look for someone to put the blame on. We do not want to accept that we have made a mistake and that we should seek for forgiveness, learn from the mistake and move on and do what is right. Instead we get into the blame game. It’s easier to blame others than accept our mistakes. In fact if anything when we accept our mistakes we are more at peace and we don’t feel like we are stuck or stagnant. It doesn’t mean that when you accept your mistake people will hate you or you will loose your friends forever. You may loose a few friends here and there but those are just the ones who are not close enough to you to accept your mistakes and forgive you, do not hold onto them, instead let them free and let them leave they would be doing you a favor, and one thing i I know is that they will not add any value to your life for that matter.

That’s a really good snapshot photo of President Donald J.Trump. I read your post. Honestly, it’s a very poor use of analogy of a proverbial expression. His winning is the American voters’ win, as well, of a good leader, and winning back America, fairly and squarely.

Americans are not your worst enemies in this day and age. It’s ISIS caliphate. It’s terrorism. It’s the illegal aliens entering USA. It’s the dark side of totalitarian liberal Master Plan in the “production of unaware and compliant citizenry” which the Democrat were exposed to be doing as Podesta and Hillary agreed with Bill Ivey’s Master Plan. Thanks to the Internet. These leaks do have their good serve.

If only the barking mad rabid dogs, whose wild howls and yaps betray their own deseased state–would just stop the raving insanity and anarchy delegitimizing the President. And stop calling the good women Trump-voters “stupid”. So gross imagination you’ve got there.

Nevertheless, watch out your own worst enemy that’s within you. Let it not become your own devastating stronghold. It’s not good for your health and well-being.

Cheers, Kaylar.

i have to say that all people love quite life, living in peace with not thinking about worries if you go out or visit countries, it is the best world nut not real world, unfortionately this is our world today and I guess its all about money and power, oh my God, just wish people accept their life

Our lives are surrounded with troubles all through. There is no day that someone will say that they have never encountered troubles in their lives, or they can go through the week without facing any kind of trouble. It could be in school, at your work place, at home or wherever you are. Troubles are part and parcel of life, as much as we may try to assume them, they always seem to appear, and we cannot run away from them. So the best thing we can do for ourselves is to be brave and bold enough to face them instead of running away from them. That way even God knows that you need his help to overcome them and he usually comes through for us whenever we call on him. Like for me when i go through some troubles I don’t even think of sweeping them under the carpet, instead I gather up the little courage that i have and do what is expected of me. Many times I may be afraid to face the trouble for fear of failing or not getting the results that i am looking for, but i I always give myself that hope of doing right. So it’s good to always just trust in what your doing and God will definitely guide you through it.
