Extended families

I have just returned from Melaka after attending my wife's cousin's wedding yesterday. They had a 13 years courtship and had finally tied the knot.

For the newly-weds, here's my 2cents worth: Just because you are compatible with your spouse, it doesn't mean your entire family will be as well. Not only do you have to like your in-laws; they have to like you. And don't forget about the 2 sets of in-laws getting along with one another. Siblings may also play a part in your family drama. With so many different personalities, it's a wonder how some families ever manage to sit down to the dinner table together at all.
