It's unofficially official!
We're getting married!
Imagine my surprise as I found myself staring at the love of my life kneeling before me, asking me to marry him, with hundreds of ooh-aahing Disneyland-goers as witnesses of our public display of love.
To no one's surprise, I said yes.
I mean, come on, I love this man. Alot.
To quote the hundreds of Bachelors and Bachelorettes, "I can totally see myself marrying this guy!"
Sure, you'd be able to read about The Proposal in another blog entry sometime soon.
But here's the real deal:
For weeks, I've been so blinded by the shiny dazzling sparkle that is currently nestling on my ring finger.
Then it hit me :
This isn't the end!!
WE HAVE A WEDDING TO PLAN!
I was never that girl who dreamed and imagined her wedding day. And now, I have exactly 354 days to plan one.
What do I do?
Where do I start?
When?
Who is there to help me?
How am I going to come up with the guest list?
How much do wedding planners cost?
Where am I going to have the wedding?
Am I going to go broke planning this wedding?
...
Can we just elope in Vegas?
Can you hear the slight panic in my voice?
Of course, first thing I did was to google "How to Plan a Wedding".
And of course, out popped a million websites, each boasting wondrous, foolproof ways of throwing together the most perfect wedding every bride could ever dream of.
It gets quite overwhelming really, reading these websites.
Little info - I'm a young Malaysian doctor in my late 20s. My boyfriend fiance is an engineer who's busier than I am, building our nation while I'm busy saving the nation (eleh). I have to say, we are pretty good when it comes to maintaining our relationship over long distance. Till now, our work is keeping us apart in different states (and soon, different countries again). How on earth are we going to plan this wedding together? Plus, we're not filthy rich. With our new house loan to pay off, one fat rabbit and 2 greedy dogs to feed, as well as my incurable shopaholic disease, hosting a wedding can be quite tricky for us. We need to come up with a one that will not blow our budget and leave us scraping pennies together.
I know I'm a stubborn, impatient, OCD and stress-driven one who wants everything going according to her way. I pray that this will not turn me into a bridezilla during this period of time.
This new blog will serve as a wedding journal for me, perhaps also as a sourcing tool for all those brides-to-be who are in the same boat as I am right now.
I'm excited. I really am :)
Are you?
