Furthermore, they cared more about impressing their extended family than arranging a wedding in line with our preferences.<br /><br />Fortunately, we moved 2000 miles away from the in-laws, and they can't meddle in our affairs anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-89462268911922238722009-10-10T11:51:24.983+08:002009-10-10T11:51:24.983+08:00Elopping or Tanan is a Filipino Tradition that my ...Elopping or Tanan is a Filipino Tradition that my Uncle Virgilio Enriquez Caled "Ang Sikolohiya ng Buhay ng Ating Lahi" Where the everyday life becames a Psychology of our Tradition as in my blog Virgilio Enriquez is the Father of Filipino Psychology " ama ng Sikolohiyang Pilipino. visit www.virgilioenriquez.nosidex.comoic_edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041944724914128185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-43810261975909511652009-04-23T14:50:00.000+08:002009-04-23T14:50:00.000+08:00aside from the obvious expenses a wedding has, in ...aside from the obvious expenses a wedding has, in a way, it's also a training ground for starting to make decision after decision together. what used to be deciding for yourself as a single person, is now one that has to be taken up with your partner and come to a consensus that both of you agree on.<br /><br /><br /><br />The wedding preparations as training ground may be an expensive way to train for it, but it comes with the preparations the communication and the experience of functioning as a unit.JayDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885561994032320274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-88652900335876430382009-04-20T20:29:00.000+08:002009-04-20T20:29:00.000+08:00Guilty.
