Evolution

It’s amazing how things evolved… Before his proposal, no plans in our mind & we thought we would just go as simple as having a small get-together of about 50 persons at our new place the most… perhaps by the pool… white bridal gown might not be even needed in that case…

But when we started to get down to it after he put that ring on my finger, we realised we have missed out a very important point : the guest list. How can we possibly accommodate both sides’ relatives & close friends into a neat 50-pax gathering??? So as we thought further, it seemed like I would be having my dream wedding! Yeeaah!!!
My dream wedding is not a grand affair with costly branded designer gowns & a big dinner. It’s more like having it at a venue that is in my wish list & doing things we like on that day. It would be wonderful wonderful + wonderful to be able to do it in our style, at the same time celebrate & share our joy on this special day with our family, close relatives & friends.
So, ta-da…! We started our brain storming & calculations…

I would say it’s a very interesting challenge to put every individual yet significant piece of our idea & want together. Having a tight budget, we have to prioritise what are the must-haves, could-haves & luxuries to us. It’s definitely not easy as initially everything looked like a necessity. But we do not want to go into a debt because of a wedding. So we took out those things in the list that could be compromised. It’s a very subjective process as different people/couples have different priorities and we are glad we have no problems at all in making these decisions together. The support from our parents contributes substantially to our decision making too which is why we really appreciate their understanding. We know it is usually not easy for the older generation to accept the younger ones’ way of doing when it comes to this kinda ‘big event in life’.

And now… all the major issues are more or less settled. And I'm still having my dream wedding !!!
