This note is inspired by a status update by James Onen aka Fat Boy -My wedding, if there is ever one, WILL NOT COST MORE THAN 5 MILLION SHILLINGS. If my bride is not okay with that then maybe she’s marrying the wrong guy.

It started out as my comment “maybe u are marrying the wrong gal” then I decided to expound and share with all my friends including those contemplating matrimony - guys and gals alike.

Please allow me to educate you on the psychology of a wedding. You (the man) has no control over it. What you are doing is fulfilling a fantasy (read fairy tale) too that this girl (bride) has had since she was 3 years old (when she first became a flower girl, through bridesmaid, later maid of honor now its her turn).

While the can be rational, throughout the preparations and proceedings, the morning she wears that white dress (also called gown), then the primal instinct (called bridal tremors) kick in. These are not controlled by adrenaline or any other known chemical hormonal or not.

From that time on shez stark raving mad, and ur budget can shot from 5m, to 1bn, given how crazy she is.

The advice from a married man, 6 years and counting, is what you do for a junkie, find out what she wants (fantasy), then tone it down to what u can handle (politically correct for afford) and give it to her and u will receive eternal gratitude for the rest of your life.
