LIFE EXPERIENCES

                                                                              

So we went to school, did our best and passed our exams; coming out with flying colors and then we got a job. We both got a middle class houses on mortgage while we were pretty sure our jobs was secured. A good one for that matter and then we started taking our girlfriends serious. We started discussing marriage and then we got really serious and did the unthinkable; we met the parents.

After a month or two, one of us took the lead and went for the engagement list and he realized he doesn't have enough savings so he started buying them in bits and when he realized that he had bought two third of the items of the list he set a date for the engagement and the wedding date too.

Two weeks to the day his wife and him started buying the rest of the items but then their savings begun showing in the red, the next natural thing to do was to start contemplating whether to postpone the wedding or borrow money to pay for the rather lavish celebration they have planned. Postponing was taken off the list because their parents have invited all their people from the village and they have embarked on the three day journey already. So, the only option left was to borrow. He did not ask us for the money but a business associate instead.

Well, the wedding was great; there was plenty of food and drinks. The music was superb; he hired the best live band in town and got the most sorts after venue for the reception. The marriage ceremony was everything he had read about from the fairy tales books during his childhood and now, it is his reality.

The honeymoon was unimaginable, a four star service, but when they got back, his friend business associate from whom he borrowed the money to pay for the rest of the wedding had left him a voice message on the answering machine. His lender was in a serious financial mess and could do with the money he borrowed him, preferred deadline for payment; three weeks. What a start to a marriage life, gasped.
