Is this too late?
I don't know if this is too late. I don't know if this will serve its purpose. I don't even know if this blog can keep up with everything I've done for the wedding so far. All I know is that when my daughter or son grow up, I would want to show them how I planned our wedding and to chronicle what little planning I have left to do. I actually thought about documenting everything some time ago but just the thought of it was exhausting enough. Anyway, I will try to post pictures, emails, notes, thought bubbles and whatever I can scavenge in my little wedding file.
I have never imagined my wedding when I was a kid. And when I say "never", I really mean NEVER. The first time I thought of my wedding was when I had already started hanging out with Tisha of WeddingsbyBliss. After all, my wedding to me was something I never really expected to happen before I had reached 30 or 35. Anyway, my surprising lovelife flourished and we had a civil wedding June 25th last year. I had really just wanted to stand in front of a judge, sign a paper and feed the witnesses. But when I told Hoen in passing that some people were suggesting that we make it a more special one like say, a beach ceremony, he readily said "Sure. I would want that too." I believe my reaction was the exact opposite. I went, "What??? You want to do all that and for what, 10 minutes?" We talked about it some more and I did some initial planning and it turned out to be doable. Very doable indeed, I did it single-handedly. It was a happy wedding despite 12 booboos c/o the account manager. After spending 2 hours arguing with management, I told myself how I would want our church wedding to be the exact opposite. Hence, my friendly hiring of Bliss. This time, though I will still be on top of things, and for geographical reasons especially, I will be letting go of the execution part. For the first time in my two weddings, I will be the blooming bride. The bride without a care in the world. And I sure love the thought of marrying my loving and yummy husband all over again.
And truth be told, I really REALLY can't wait to get this wedding over and bandwidth!! (Next year, we can finally breathe our financial woes away! Haha)
