Many people say that a wedding is a celebration of love between two individuals, so it’s just fitting that the wedding details represent the couple.

I was chatting with a friend earlier and we got to talk about some of the foundations of marriage.

See, she’s getting married early next year and she’s encountering some, err, challenges with her fiance.

www.gmtristan.comFirst, I’d like to thank Meng for letting me guest post here at mommyontop.com. I’ve always been monitoring this blog and I sincerely believe that mommyontop.com will ‘go places’ since it serves a good niche and Meng has a passion for writing (and enjoys being a wife and a mother).This piece is a welcome respite from the tech and geeky stuff of gmtristan.com, my own blog. Ready?

Being a married man (and proud of it), I’ve always wondered what it’s like to share to wives everywhere our own ‘point-of-view’. Of course, WE KNOW what annoys us the most. Apparently, very few wives (or even girlfriends) know about these nuances.
