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

narrow down your choices.
