i'm always peeping into this thread too.
*hug hug all*
for us, we both were totally stressed out at work for months of august & september. some crisis happened at work which caused me to cry alot in office. it was so bad that hb offered FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, that perhaps i should quit without a job and just focus on the wedding first.
on the day (16 sept) when both families were supposed to go shopping for GDL items together, i was stranded in office for the whole weekend: saturday worked from 9am to 2am!!! then sunday from 9am to 7pm!!! hubby went with both mothers, my sister and godbrother tagged along and they had to MMS me the pictures of the items which i want.
then just 1 week before our wedding, both of us fell terribly sick, hb saw 3 doctors in all, MIL almost wanted to send him to a chinese sinseh. i was given MC but i came back to office even. 1 particular night, i was coughing and running a fever until my mum kept checking on me. i slept on the sofa and overheard parents discussing in worry - aiyo jialat, this weekend wedding liao then she fell so sick etc etc.
alot of things were not settled until the very last minute: eg, programme and emcee script only out 2 days before wedding whereas seating plans only out the night before! and on AD itself, we were both still coughing
but deep in my heart, i kept telling myself, no matter what we went through beforehand, no matter how it turns out on actual day, i'm just gonna sit back, relax, act bimbo, stay pretty and enjoy myself! and i kept reminding hubby the same thing....that things will just unfold by itself on that day.
so on eve of wedding day after sending my precious dogs to my friend's place, i really really totally relaxed. after all the customary rituals at home, I went to bed and fell into a deep sleep by 12midnight. Hahaha!
and i totally enjoyed my wedding day! no major hiccups (i think) and no matter what people said, i could only remember alot of - congratulations, hello, thank you etc etc etc
following that, we received many compliments from relatives & friends that they enjoyed the wedding as much as we did and that the whole event went very well
about 1 week later, MIL was telling us casually there was some unpleasant exchanges between her and her own MIL (aka hubby's grandma) over seating arrangements for some old relatives at the ballroom. i was shocked and i told her i only remembered whole night alot of HELLO and THANK YOU...she laughed out loud too.
i remember those days and posts when all of us were fretting over the details and timeline. and among us, some exchanged notes, some lent listening ears, some became friends, some gave words of encouragement. WE ALL SURVIVED!!!!
our weddings are O-V-E-R. dont brood about it anymore. the wedding is only a one-day affair but the marriage is a lifelong one!
ALWAYS STAY HAPPIE!
