Journey to Misis Part 1

I’ve been engaged for more two months now. I haven’t really started seriously planning about my wedding. Don’t get me wrong. I am very excited to get married. What I’m not so excited about are the expenses that come along with it. Haha! I am a very practical person and if only I can skip the wedding ceremony and jump to the married life instead, I would. See? We went on a US honeymoon after we got engaged so I guess we’d keep it at that. Loljk. It’s not our honeymoon yet.

Anyway, fiancé and I have decided to attend a wedding fair last month because we realized that we haven’t started planning yet *insert panic face here* and we need to scout for suppliers. I don’t want to turn into a bridezilla but I don’t want to be a super bridechilla as well. I wanted to be someone in between this only once in a lifetime event (unless of course for others who opted to get married again which I definitely don’t plan to! I’m sticking with my forever).

When we went to a wedding fair, we got so overwhelmed with the information. Heck! I cannot even enjoy looking around the booths without someone giving me flyers (and worse, someone will start talking about the company’s services nonstop!). This may be exaggerated but every time I take a step, somebody will give me a flyer. Gaaah! So we ended up not enjoying the fair. Can’t we just look around without being bugged around??

In the end, we already have ideas for our invitations. Lol. At least, we got something from the fair. Honestly, being a girl is hard – I cannot chose from purple, violet, mauve, lavender! To a guy, it’s just violet. Okay, I’m not really sure if that’s the motif that I want. Ack! We still haven’t decided on the date yet. Hay. So we left the fair without progress.

If I’m stressed during the wedding fair, fiancé is more stressed than I am. Haha! He was actually the one who told me (after roaming around the different booths for an hour) “Tara baby, pahinga muna tayo. Hindi ba sumasakit ulo mo sa dami nila?” Wahaha!

So we went to Krispy Kreme (apparently that’s the only establishment that is not crowded) and ate donuts. We need sugar or else we will both faint. After that, he asked me if we can go to an appliance store! After getting loaded with all the information about weddings, fiancé have decided to buy a refrigerator for our future home. Hahaha! I really think we got our priorities right.




Some tips (I made for myself lol)
1.  First, decide on the date of your wedding and how you wanted your wedding to look like so you’ll not be overwhelmed when you attend a wedding fair. Once you already know what you want, everything would be a lot easier (or not?).
2. Don’t be pressured. Enjoy the process of planning the whole affair. Weddings should be fun and you don’t want to remember it as something that you are so stressed about.
3. Budget. Budget. Budget
      4. Pray. Pray that God will give you wisdom as you narrow down your choices.
