Daisypath berkata 3 minggu dan 3 hari lagi menjelang hari saya diperistri. What is that word? Diperistri? Dijadikan istri? As if menjadi istri adalah cita-cita. Kenapa nggak ada dipersuami? Ah gender bias, how I dislike thee.

This is the very first comment I put in any blogs I’ve read for years. It’s simply because I feel too same with you at the moment. Been experiencing all those things you mentioned above, and sometimes I just feel really sick. Can’t wait to finish this soon.

Good luck for your wedding preparation. Hope everything run well. Amin.
Btw, nice blog you have and I’m Dewi;)
Amin Amin Amin, thank you so much dear Dewi for the prayers. I wish you the very best of luck as well for your wedding preparation, and I sincerely hope you will have a beautiful marriage that will keep you strong, happy and content for the rest of your life. After all, that’s what truly matters 😉
