The Simple Joy in Life: Countdown - 16 days to go

Even though we have registered our marriage last Saturday on our 5th anniversary together, it still don't feel like we are married.

Maybe because the whole ceremony ended in 15 minutes and we spent the next 45minutes snapping photos.


Anyway, 16 days to go to the very day we have been preparing for. Because there are so many parties involved and so many different segment to prepare for, I still cannot visualise how the whole day will turn out. There are still a number of things to do such as:

• Finalising the tables
• Writing our speech
• Trying on the gowns that I have chosen
• Fixing my nails
• Finalising the plan for the day (morning and night)
• Briefing our helpers
• Going for my hen's night
• Clearing up the new place to bring over my clothes
• Buying bedsheet for the new place
• Finishing up our guestbook
• Finalising the decoration
• Finalising the hall decoration for dinner
• Packing the ang pows etc
  
  

Still. It is good to know that we have done a lot more of other stuff and what we have left to do are just finalising the whole thing. 16 days more and we will officially be husband and wife! Crazy isn't it? The whole I-have-a-crush-on-this-guy to I-am-with-the-guy-I-had-a-crush-on to I-am-marrying-the-guy-I-had-a-crush on to many more new things.

I'll probably not repeat the whole story of how we got together but maybe some advice that may or may not work:

It's okay if your girlfriends** or close friends** know who you have a crush on 
**as long as they are good people and not out there to ruin your life - this will be another lesson for another day.

And sometimes, it's okay to have a friend who cannot keep secret. Mine couldn't and now I am marrying this man because she told him I liked him.

Then again, may not be applicable to all situations. Follow my advice at your own risk.

Have a great weekend.

The Simple Joy in Life : Wedding Planning 2

Q: What is worse than a bridezilla?
A: An indecisive bridezilla?

Q: What is worse than an indecisive bridezilla?
A: Being the sister of the indecisive bridezilla.


Woe be to my sister. I, on the other hand, am super blessed to have her as my sister cause she makes everything good! Like I am on a tight budget so I said no to everything but she still does it for me and subsidised or even pay for everything!


Advice? Go get yourself your own awesome sister. Mine is MINE!

3 more days to signing myself off to be Mrs. Chong!

All the excitement is there because I am doing it with my best friend, best girlfriends and my awesome awesome family. If only Ah Ma is still here. I love my Ah Ma.

Why am I a stressed out bride?

1. I am a little bridezilla (I want to be in control).

2. I tend to micromanage (I cannot help it!)

3. I always doubt my choices. ( I just don't want to regret my decisions and do something about it while I still can.)

When I say I doubt my choices I mean my choices in flowers, food, decorations etc. Not my choice in my husband-to-be ok?

So my advice is......no advice. I think if given a choice, I will still choose to do all of the above and be a stressed out bride. =)
