We've been legally Mr and Mrs for almost 3 months now. But that is only on paper, we have not gone through customary chinese wedding yet. Another 4 months to go till the big day. So we're now somewhere in between legally Mr & Mrs and officially Mr & Mrs.
It is quite a confusing state where:
- Do we call each other hubby and wife? Yes, we do. The wedding registrar already pronounced us as husband and wife during registration of marriage right?
- We are not staying together yet. Our new house is not ready for move in, yet. Therefore after the ROM we're still staying with parents. It did make us feel not-so-married as we were still on phone to say "hello, how's the day?" after work.
- Refer to each other as hubby and wife in front of family, friends and colleagues. Some friends & colleague already started mentioning him as "your husband". I felt it's alright. What about me? Me too, started to mention "my husband" in conversations. Is it actually okay or do I sound desperate?
Despite those confusion, we still enjoyed this period very much. Hand-in-hand, preparing for a new chapter of life together, organizing our wedding events and setting up the new home sweet home. At times there were disagreements but of course those were process of adapting each other into our lives.
Many friends told us to enjoy these moments, as it will remained one of the sweetest moments in our lives. Yes we do, and it does feel uber excited to finally settle down with each other. This feeling, is really, surreal.
