It's been exactly a month since we got engaged. Yes folks, engaged. I reckon the term (or status) upon the proposal is accepted; though some Chinese traditions do outlined the engagement as a ceremony prior to the wedding, which I do not think there's still lots of people practising it.
I constantly stare at the little sparkle on my left index finger and tell myself, you are getting married.
It doesn't come in a sudden, we have been discussing about marriage for the past one year. We talked about how we want the wedding to be, where it would be held, the marriage life, kids & etc etc. He sometimes popped the question over the late-night phone calls (esp after a few glasses of Heineken), sometimes in the car, sometimes when we just cuddled up and watch DVD at home. Most of the time I just teasingly shake my head and sometimes when he put it in a real sentimental way, I will give a nod.
I thought I was a lot prepared, not for the proposal but for the wedding preparation, but truthfully I wasn't. I was very much in a depressed mode a couple of days after we got engaged. I guess is the "are we?" "is it real" kind of emotions.
Right, I am going way too far. What I want to say here is we had not really kick off any of the preparation physically. I called for quotation for banquet and photography, will talk about this in separate post soon. We listed out our budget and he almost fainted. Date aren't chosen yet. I'll leave the date to the eldest, but ideally it will be in October.
I have been browsing a lot of wedding sites since don't know when due to my work scope. So though I have roughly an idea of how I want my wedding to look like, I will still put up some inspiration boards to share. (I am typing this so I sort of made a promise here and I need to stop procrastinating)
So hang on there people, and I now wonder if anyone read this. I am tied up with all the Chinese New Year bakings and hopefully I will post soon.
Next up, venue, most probably. Or the proposal story?
