Exactly 1 month......

........ to our 1st Wedding Anniversary!

Have tentatively planned for a 3-day celebration... yepyep!! On the actual day... hope to have 1 day off work to enjoy ourselves. Then in the evening will go for a 9-course dinner . Extravagant? Not @ all...... just that we'll be celebrating our anniv together with hubby's cousin's Big Day. Such a coincidence right! The cousin's mum, who's hubby's eldest aunt (FIL's eldest sis) warmly invited (reads: wanted/insisted) us to the wedding dinner.

The moment I heard about it, I was boiling inside... we're so looking forward to our 1st anniversary & now gotta be shared with so many others. Why of all the 365 days that cousin has to choose exactly the same day as ours!? Hubby said we could by all means go ahead with our own plans & nobody could demand us to do anything that's against our will. I know he just wants me to be happy but neither do I want him to become a sandwich - my parents in-law will be disappointed if we're not gonna show up & secondly, this aunt has been very good to us. So I forced myself to be rational... the cousin wouldn't have remembered it's our wedding date... just like, will we remember our cousins' wedding dates? Also, it'll only affect us once throughout our many many more anniversaries to come as we're not gonna celebrate our annivs together. So for the 1st year we'll just take it as a special way of celebrating lor. Anyway we still have day 2 & 3 which we're originally planned. Once I've managed to straighten out my thoughts, I feel real ok. Hee..

OK day 2 which's a Sat, we're gonna check in to Ritz Carlton for a night's stay in the Premier Suite & out on day 3. Yeah.
