Initially, we planned to visit Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos after Malaysia. We changed our entire direction while we were in Malaysia and decided to visit Korea instead.
Here we came in Korea. flOra reunited with her friend from university during exchange, she bought us to a special Korean BBQ restaurant and three of us hanged out. This was Dan’s first time to Korea. It turned out that he also loves Korea, the food, the environment, the wood and weather. It was a really fun time for flOra to reconnect with people she met before and refreshed the friendship as well as having a new memory with Dan in this country.
The barbeque was one of our favorites; Dan wants to build his own Korean style barbecue grill one day!
When Daniel was young, he had a dream: to have an extended honeymoon with the woman he loves.
He did not know how she looks or where is she from, but he wanted to spend the first year of his marriage with his wife.
Inspired by the Bible verse, Deuteronomy 24:5 : When a man get married. The first year he shall not call to war or business, but stay at home and please his wife.
He thought what if people actually do it?
Life is short and full of hustles. Soon we will have kids, pursuing career, earning money and the list goes on and on. If we are to be married for 50 years of our lives, 1 year out of 50 is only 2%. Why don't we devote one year to just focus on marriage, enjoy and learn about each other, build a strong foundation for marriage, and create the memories that we would never forget?
We would never have the first year of marriage back. If we rush back to work the next day after our wedding and be occupied with other priorities in life, will we get to know each other’s needs or spend quality time together? So me (flOra) and my husband Daniel decided to give our best time and attention to each other in our first year of marriage.
