The process of preparing for a wedding, the first thought that came to mind, its too much of a hassle. Subsequently, it got a little intriguing when it comes to the detailing, and especially so when I know Birdy is more excited than I was.. While it's not exactly what I'd pictured myself doing with my closest, I'm grateful for there are people, who weren't closed to begin with, being unusually enthusiastic bout it.
Came along the news bout our home which is due to be ready within the next few months, hasten our pace in the preparation. The latter is no doubt more thrilling but worrying at the same time due to budget constraints.
We fought the thoughts and fixed the date on 13.06.2013 even knowing it wasn't the perfect date for Xiang to be part of our 兄弟团。 Mamargaret started protesting and we had to convince ourselves to settle with the earlier date which we weren't mentally prepared for. Then, I understand the saying, "A wedding is not just bout US".. So anyway, 07.03.2013 is the DAY.
My closest colleague, felt like the only one I could talk to. She's been thru these processes and was the one who introduced Champions Court to me. Without her Birdog will probably still be living day by day with no plans to move into the next phase of life. Ya, we're just too laid back.
Animals, one after another have their own shares of woes. As I was counting my blessing, I felt like my joy came at the wrong time. Typically of me, all I wanted is to share my happiness but it turned out to be a solace of nobody's business.
Emotions aside, I rationalized that Animals are just as passive as always and when the real thing comes, you'll know it right. But me being me, still can't help being afflicted with.
MS Ladies on the other hand are as elated as I am but somehow or rather, the more I share the more I didn't want to bore them with the fine details. How ironic. Met up with baby after a hectic day at work. Talked bout the wedding and she seems more ecstatic that she can finally be an "event coordinator" for once than being happy because it's my wedding! =/
For the past weeks, I discovered a few of my own characteristics. So long I have fixed my eye on something, it's really not easy to have my mind changed. Seeking a second option or opinion is basically for comparison sake which is quite redundant sometimes. Alot of times, I already knew what I wanted and wouldn't mind sacrificing some other things to achieve my wants. Bad habit, I must say. 先甜后苦。Perhaps this is the reason why I seldom find myself feeling regret over certain things. First of all, I satisfied myself, so no regrets. Second of all, I know very well that since I've decided to satisfy myself over some sacrifices, so I've no rights to feel regret cos I asked for it.
Also realized that, thou physically you may see me multi-tasking, in actual fact my brain cells died alot during the process and my mind can never rest well until it has been put to an end. I wants things to be thrown to the back of mind at the shortest time possible but on the contrary, I'm always procrastinating. Sigh!
Having said all, I'm glad we have more or less settled with the bigger items. Bridal package, checked. Decided on the hotel for banquet and our wedding band, checked. Next up is to sign the contract with the hotel, place the order for my size 46 ring, finalize which contractor to renovate our home, do some furniture shopping, work out the actual budget and stick firmly to it! Then, we'll sit and wait for the letter from HDB, choose the gowns, go for our pre-wedding shoot before counting down to the DAY! (minus the nitty gritty details and hiccups!)
