THERE are several words of wisdom that you just cannot argue with.
One that is right up there on my list is: 'A woman looks her best on her wedding day'.
That certainly cannot be truer.
On the most important day of her life, a woman is clad in a bridal dress that flaunts her figure and shows off a waistline no bigger than your wrist.
Guys, if you are getting married this weekend, enjoy the moment. Remember it and take lots of photos. Because it all goes downhill the moment she says 'I do'.
Sure, the plunging neckline may still be there. But it is more likely to be matched by a ballooning waistline and legs that have now grown into tree trunks.
The proof is everywhere.
Take a look at your friends, relatives or when you have the time, your better half when she is tucking into her second plate of nasi lemak for breakfast.
Let's see. Their excuses will be that after doing household chores such as cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids, there is just no more time left for exercise.
But, in this day and age, we all know most households rely on maids or in-laws to handle housework and the kids.
A recently-married female friend explained: 'Well, it is because they have spent their last few years of dating maintaining their looks and figure, hoping that their men will not stray.
'So after marriage, it is a big sigh of relief and they just let go.'
Another female friend said: 'What is the point of looking good? Most women think that since they are no longer single anyway, they become less self conscious. They start putting on weight and maybe less makeup when they go out.'
Well, before my legion of female admirers decide to sever all ties with me, I have to admit that my once-lean male friends are also slowly turning into real-life versions of Teletubbies after their wedding vows.
Truth be told, I can't even recognise some of them as their cheeks are even chubbier than the Marshmallow Man's.
But I digress. Back to women. Do you know that there is a way to tell if your better half will be twice her weight 10 years down the line?
Let me let you in on a secret. If you are really curious about what your girlfriend may look like 20 years from now, pay her household a visit to get a good idea.
