Weekend like no Other

Woo.. it was definitely a weekend like no other.

I mean, I could really felt it, that I really once used to think that all this would happen at least forever from now, or..are all these just a very long continuous dream? Whatever it be, certainly not a ‘today’ thing as per what have I imagined long ago.. and it’s happening.

Sometimes, even me can get head spinning listening to myself.

Let’s get this straight. Okay, here goes..

The recent weekend, we went ring shopping (shit now I’m an official ‘we’ gal), looking around for the right wedding venue, right attire; would it be long white modern gown or long flowy kebaya. Also we (duh) bought like 5 bridal magazines for references. Shall I just conclude that myself and Bigfish have no idea where to start, mm, to be frank, firm on what we actually want, you see.. To make it more dramatic and traumatic, we actually don’t err, know where to go for the invitation cards, which boutique and stylist who understand our needs, which caterer serves good food within our financial capacity that won’t burn a volcanic hole in our pockets..We do visualize how’s it gonna be, but after a few rounds at some gardens and hotels, we tend to mix up our wants and needs, and potentially overtaken by the whole event despite the restricted budget. So we ended up..pening. Bigtime.

But I’d have to say, altogether it’s a fantastic experience. I mean, how many times you get to go ring shopping in your life even you don’t really fancy rings? You are practically forced to get yourself a nice ring and there’s someone who happily and willingly paying for it? See what I mean. The whole affair is just a once-a-lifetime matter. Mm..I’m sure everyone does hope so. :)

Also interestingly, I discovered that I don’t really take joy in wedding shopping. I thought I’m gonna love it just like many of my girlfriends do..but no. All the shopping around and bargaining made me feel like staying home and having a long nap. But I love shopping! How come yea..

Hmm..just my theory, prenuptial syndrome. You become overly fussy and sensitive and lethargic. Must be all the high expectations that you want the Day to be simply perfect. So it’s shopping with a bag of pressure on your shoulders. Yup, that’s why.

Well I’m very tired today due to the exhausting weekend. Bigfish is simply fully occupied during weekdays and we are counting the weekends we gonna have for the whole planning and preparations. And so, we have this thought to just hire a planner. A relatively good, economical one, not the bashing kind ( we met one yesterday, he opens his mouth to talk about nothing less than 100K budget.. crazy).
Suggestions are highly welcomed and appreciated.

To my good friend, Intan.. Happy Belated Birthday.
Have a blessed and wonderful year ahead.
