It is officially 2 months away from Bail and 3.5 months away from our banquet. The reason why this space has been so awfully quiet and empty recently is because we have been frantically busy putting our wedding together!
From getting our wedding coordinatorfired replaced, to choosing furniture for Bali, to project Save-Hsing's-tea-dress. Weekend after weekend, we spend our time meeing various stakeholders, staring into our endless guestlist, shopping for the perfect dress for me, brainstorming for the most efficient way to plan and execute!
If you ask my honest opinion? It was a tad crazy but managable. And did i freak out at any point of time? You bet it did! I freaked out at the way my tea dress turned out! I freaked out at the thought of our wedding planner not being able to get the right furniture for Bali, I freaked out when i realised i havent formed my EXCO!
Nonetheless, I am glad to say that we are still very much in one piece, moving along steadily and surely, and when shit doesnt hit the fan, we are enjoying every part of the process. Besides the fun, the excitement, the anxiety and of course the occasional frustrations, this is very much a learning process for both of us.
Through the past 8-10 months of wedding preps, valuable lessons i have learnt:
- when i first said (in a calm, sure and confident tone) "i wana keep it simple.", it definitely wasnt words from my heart. And I doubt it would be from any normal gal's heart. Simple evolved into 2 weddings. Simple evolved into 4-5 wedding outfits. Simple evolved into over 400 guests for the banquet....
- I am not as rational as I thought. Well i am afterall still a girl right? ;)
- Compromise. Not just between the couple. It is also used when we need to deal with the planner, the photographer, videographer etc. I guess one can never always have her way.
- When i freak out or just about to freak out, he is there to take over and the show goes on.
- We bring out the best in each other when we work together as a team. U are indeed my best partner!
I may grumble sometimes, but i know deep down inside me, i will surely miss all these once 26 May 2012 is over...
