How Do You Feel When Your Son Or Daughter Gets Married?

Jesse Savage and Anjie

As a father, I realized very early that it is not only getting the best job, house, car etc; makes one happy or successful in life, but to get married and settle.

Many acknowledge marriage as a form of trap, unity without comfort or freedom. I don’t see it that way.

I see marriage as a bond of life-long commitment and sharing responsibilities, which enhances the success of both partners.

I know perfectly well what my wife has done for me in times of difficulty, uncertainty and when sick. Like Florence Nightingale, she takes care of me and does what I haven't even requested her to do.

I have really enjoyed a happy successful marriage over two decades, because of both respect and the trust we have for ourselves.

Thus; when my elder son said to me “Daddy I will be getting married soon, I was engulfed with joy, knowing that he has made a good decision, a decision which will keep him sincere, upright and responsible.

He has already visited me a couple of times with his girlfriend. It was hard to communicate with her immediately on her first visit, but after some few visits, I had a nice conversation with her.

My son at first thought I don't like his girlfriend, the fact that she is white. “White, Black or Chinese doesn't matter to me but his happiness.”

He travelled with his girlfriend to her country in Hungary, to see her parents and on November 22, 2014, they tied the knot.

I witnessed the happy marriage with my wife and Jesse's junior brothers. I am very glad and wish them a happy successful marriage.

Within a short time, I will be a grandpa with ‘Cappuccino’ children around me. Oh! no, hmmmm, old age is catching me very fast, therefore, I have forgotten that I am already a grandpa.
