Let the countdown begin

People asks why do we go through all that effort to hold our wedding over 2 days, worry about how we want to decorate the venue, worry about which caterer to choose for our dinner, design our own cards, go all the way in to JB for our gowns and photoshoot etc. Of course to others this is very troublesome and I do agree that we created a lot of unnecessary trouble for ourselves compared to if we had chosen to go with the norm of having dinner at a hotel ballroom with 30+ to 40 tables and settle for some studio here.

In fact, we spent the whole of yesterday at home just to decide on what to print on the card and he spent a lot of time making the necessary adjustments on photoshop before we can send them in for printing. We had to source for our own materials, own printers and later have to hand cut the cards into size.

But if you ask me, I would say that it is the process that is more meaningful than the deed itself, come 12 April. Through all this we get to know how each other works on things, we come to a compromise on different views and two heads are definitely better than one. We know that each other will be there to help out should one party be not free at the moment. I know that he can sometimes procrastinate and needs a bit of reminder sometimes. He knows that I am easy on certain things but stubborn on others. And to know that we share the same ideas on most things, including having a separate day just for friends as we want to celebrate friendship and not just us, as we believe our friends help to shape who we are.

It's still a long way more to go in the marriage itself and this is just the tip of the beginning. With close to 3 more months to THE day, let the countdown begin!
