Post-nuptial events

Shopping then, and shopping after you're married is different. The perks are definitely more. And the satisfaction of the purchases together; priceless.

I am excited by the slightest new event that accompanies married life. First and foremost, this will be my first Eid as a wife, insyaAllah. The Eid shopping is done with Husband, no longer by one's self, looking for the perfect item of clothing to garment the self. Husband got a pair of baju melayu (beautiful material and colour), songket tenun and butang baju melayu for a very affordable price. Bargaining is a wonderful thing.

Second of all, duit raya. We are officially expected to hand out duit raya this year, what with being married and employed and all. I am very excited about this little event. The specified amount for Husband's younger siblings and our little niece have been put aside, tucked neatly in festive packets. I feel proud. Of Husband. Of the me that I am now.

Husband's Transformers Animated collection

Then there's shopping for Husband's treats. His love. His passion. His child-within.
Transformers®. (Transformers Animated™, Star Wars® Transformers Crossovers™, etc.)
The look he gets after every successful purchase is ecstasy to me. The items that is bought is defined by what it means to Husband; where is was bought, when, why, with whom. Every item is a passion, and a memory. To glance up at the shelf that houses most of Husband's collection is very comforting and soothing to me.

Shopping and spending has a new meaning now.
Looking forward to more that comes with being married. And the coming Eid.
