We got married last November but we went a long way of getting prepared to this "big day". When you plan your own wedding you do not scrimp, at least i did not =) because it was my wedding. I believe that this is the only wedding in my life and there would not be any second or third try or chance to improve or to change anything. We have put all our energy, efforts and heart there. I will tell you more details later.

As this blog belongs to me i should probably start writing about my family. I thought it would be very easy but when i began to think about it i got confused where to begin and where my family starts. Is it only me and my husband or my parents and grandparents and my husband's relatives as well?

The first thing to start with is to define the family and wikipedia gives us this definition "

Family denotes a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, and co-residence. Although the concept of consanguinity originally referred to relations by "blood," many anthropologists have argued that one must understand the notion of "blood" metaphorically, and that many societies understand 'family' through other concepts rather than through genetic distance.

According to many sociologists and anthropologists, the primary function of the family is to reproduce society, either biologically, socially, or both. Thus, one's experience of one's family shifts over time. From the perspective of children, the family is a family of orientation: the family serves to locate children socially, and plays a major role in their enculturation and socialization. From the point of view of the parent(s), the family is a family of procreation the goal of which is to produce and enculturate and socialize children. However, producing children is not the only function of the family; in societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household."

And can you define family. What is family for you?
