Wedding 2: what is my dream wedding
Sunday, July 29, 2012 || 10:50 PM
When I was 10, I directed a make believe wedding with my cousins.. Me as the beautiful bride, only male cousin; song as my groom... And rest of the younger cousins as smaller parts a wedding calls for... It was fun; I always look forward to the "cocktail" ( mixing fruits with different soft drinks) after the "ceremony"...
When I turned 16, I had a taste on puppy love and thought I could start to plan my dream wedding.. There was this feeling, it is going to last and we better start saving... It was day dream after day dream on gowns, flora, rings, me looking beautiful... All the dreams was about me on my big day... Groom was a blur... So I thought... Maybe it's not really gonna last.... I will just dream about my part.
When I am 24, I started attending more weddings and I began to be all soaked up with that fuzzy warm feeling at the wedding ceremony. I start to see beyond the gowns and decor; I'm seeing marriage..... The union, made great by two different individuals, coming together wanting to share the their life, make good their life promises to each other... Now wedding has meaning. I like that.
Now I'm at 27, 50 days shy of my own wedding... I think I start to truly see what a marriage holds... ( though I believe it will still change as time goes...)
Elopement wedding was never in our plans and dreams... There was no seed to this crazy act. It just stung me one day and when I kiss him, he got that idea too! ( ha ha joking)... it is just that I wanted something intimate... He wants something hassle free (wedding shouldn't be a chore) so we thought lets go elsewhere and get married! Just him and me:)
It's a selfish thing... I deprived those who love us the chance to witness this lovely milestone in our lives. But they love us enough to respect or accept ( with complains and nags we can't hear)... So yes, this two blessed selfish lovers are setting off to create a memory only they two share... No one else.
There are loads of emotions, all happy ones and it really feels that it is too good to be true. This is not a make believe party, not only about me and myself.... The only thing that stays is in still looking forward to that cocktail party!!! I like celebration:)
It's a personal celebration of our love; one that only matters if he is my groom.
Wedding 1: we are 2 months away!

i remember i posted something about bridezilla sometime back... ...
"SINGLE BRIDEZILLA?!
thursday, february 23, 2012 || 8:56 pm
Read on daily mail some time ago that there is a new species, named 'single bridezilla'.
According to the report, 'Single bridezilla' is the new breed of bride-to-be who are organizing their wedding before they have even got engaged. Before this report comes about, I thought most women would admit that they have been dreaming of their fairytale perfect wedding since they were little girls.... Now suddenly there is this collective term and it sounds really horrible!
Well I for one am not getting married real soon but when I come across a gown that is simply lovely or a wedding photo that is stunning, I sometime make it a point to bookmark it( for the record, I bookmarked alot of stuff so...). ... Okay, my point is, if we are not obsessed and scare our husband to be or bf off, it's alright to day dream a little when you are feeling romantic :)"
and i am glad to announce that i haven yet experience this real bridezilla moment... as of now... 2 months away from our solemnization =)
Our big day is gonna be at ...... New Zealand, Tasman Glacier
It will be on.... 8th Oct 2012, on my 27th Birthday
There will be no guests invited, just Mr Soon and Mrs Soon -to- be
We have a wonderful wedding planner and she has made every arrangement we need to have the wedding of our dreams......
With the above, there is really no reason why i need to freak out or get anal about.... i do think i have the perfect location* on a perfect day* with the perfect person while i look pretty =)
To be honest, to decide on having a elopement wedding takes courage and tonnes of understanding from people we love and love us...
" i wish to be there"......" why elope when we can be around to give you both blessings"....."it is a big day, should celebrate"......"how can?!"......."just the two of you?!" ............"why need to go so far?".........."are we invited?".............."the cert recognize in Singapore or not"............
there is really a thousand reason why we should have it in Singapore....BUT there is one very important reason why we did not; we wanna create and safeguard a complete piece of this most important experience and memory for just the two of us, not one else.
i know many are disappointed with our decision; mainly my mum and my buddies.... but i also thank them for the fact that there are no pressure on me to have my wedding their way... giving me away the way they envisioned...
All in all, i really have no reason to go crazy......
i am so looking forward... every preparation to the BIG DAY creates this blissful feeling in me (i hope in him too).... i just cant wait.
* location might change if weather is bad...... day might change if we insist on this great location.....
nonetheless, it really doesnt matter where it is gonna be... New Zealand is a beautiful place and i'm with the guy i so wanna marry...

Woman needs to feel attractive, i have moments like this too..
A date with the flowers
|| 12:15 PM
Engagement is a special stage in a relationship.. it is probably the sweetest period as there are so much assurance and happy planning for our upcoming solemnization.
In between dreaming and planning, we took a break and he brought us to the latest attraction in Singapore - Gardens By The Bay =)
I wasnt expecting myself to go all excited seeing the floral stuff, but i think i went a little overboard... snapping almost every flower i see.....they are pretty...and as i'm in a beautiful mood, they seem prettier!
Here's what i love and i cant wait to visit again.. this time in the night:
