Denis & Emma MerkasThis is a blog about the sweeter things in life - namely, marriage, relationships and date ideas. Written by newlyweds Denis & Emma Merkas, it offers some small insight into married life and offers relationship advice, cheeky points of debate between couples and stories from married life, all interlaced between their weekly date nights, where all their date ideas are taken from their website, $30 Date Night.
Emma and Denis are definitely opposites in many ways… life is about playful banter which often comes out in their blog posts in a public point of difference. On the odd occasion they see eye to eye.
Here’s is what they have to say about each other:
Denis’ View
About Emma’s personality?
Emma is easily distracted by shiny objects (…and shoes) – which often sees her walking into walls and doorways, it’s very funny to watch.
The girl is super intelligent which is annoying, cause I’m not.
She happily dumbs down our conversations to keep me amused – yet goes out of her way to re-write my posts and media comments so “my words” are grammatically correct. But me no care about things like this… and such as.
Em’s is definitely a free spirit who loves to sleep in… the girl works damn hard and has recently fallen into the realm of geekness – thanks a lot twitter (damn I hate the sound of that chirpy bird!) Funny it ironic that the inner geek has come out after we marry.
What Den loves about Emma
Her laugh… it’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard! Seriously… I’ll have to work out a way to get some audio for you guys to hear it. This laugh once terrified me… so embarrassing in public, but these days I love it – it cracks me up every time!
Most annoying habit
She is FREAKIN’ messy! It drives me nuts!!! As an example… in a mammoth effort to clean up our bedroom - I spent over 30 minutes picking up and sorting out her clothes from the floor. Folding and neatly placing them close her side of the wardrobe - it’s not possible to put her clothes away - its like playing Tetris on maximum difficulty.
Only to find that 2 days later her pile of clothes had returned with a vengeance! Bigger and higher than ever before… like how many damn outfit changes does one need? Babe… you work from home too! It’s not like you went out to impress anyone…
Emma’s View
What Em says about Den’s Personality:
Denis is your classic Type A personality – workaholic, highly competitive, fiercely ambitious and working against self-imposed deadlines all the while… and he’s a conundrum! He’s a healer (acupuncturist, masseur, all-round nice guy) but one of the most blokey you’ll ever meet. No tree-hugging-hippy sentimentalities here! Much prefers smoking, fast cars and his blingy wedding ring to hummus and yoga.
What Em’s loves about Denis:
Denis is one of the most loyal people you’ll ever meet – the kind of person that will drop whatever he’s doing if his family or friends need him. He won’t admit readily that he’s a big softie, but I gotta say, it’s the mushball in him that I love.
Most annoying habit?
Ugh, the bloke in him. The farting, the burping… he does it unashamedly and constantly. And he’s proud of it.
