..... which means, don't be too superstitious in life, you not only make your life difficult but others around you as well.
Based on most of the chinese believe, they will look at your zodiac and the year that you are born then make some judgement that what would happen to both if they were to get married. I am born in the year of Tiger and my hubby is born in the year of Rabbit. So with some so called 'logical' thinking, I shall eat up my Rabbit husband and he will obey to me for the rest of our lives together. And the calculation said that we are both born in the year of 'fire', so we will end up arguing most of the time and not have a happily ever after live. Also, with lots of other horrible things that you would not want to know.
Now, look at my poker face. Do you ever think myself and hubby going to give a damn about all these nonsense? I am straight forward and I hate bull shits. And he love me for being honest most of the time when I am mad, I just poured out everything and next I would forget what I've just said and fell asleep. Most of the time, he would also forget what I said and carrying on with his work.
So we decided that our lives are not determine by all these superstition but is our own choice to make things possible. Which is how we choose to communicate and give in to each other having to commit ourselves to this very decision to spend the rest of our lives together.
This is such a potong steam to start the post.
We are half way through our wedding preparations and the date is drawing close. There's much anticipation that the day would come soon, but at the same time, I also wish that the day would end as fast as possible so that we could get over and head to our long awaited road trip honeymoon.
I managed to finished the close to 30-40 pages of run down of event, or I don't know what to call the prep sheet that was given by my bestie. I've purchased most of the things that we need for the wedding from gowns, ji mui and heng dai's attires, decorations for the car and photobooth, accessories when the exchange rate was still fairly ok *phewww*. Sure feels good to see the checklist being ticked off one by one.
What's left is just things to do closer to the date which is like printing of invitation cards and distribution and the tradition 'gor tai lei'. I am so glad that my parents are really open minded and easy going that we need not follow every single traditional things that's like kinda memafankan.
Many said that there were many arguments and the process is tough for a wedding.
I would agree so. But at the same time, I am glad that both of us share the same view in life and therefore we do know each other pretty well. Taking prewedding photos was rather easy for us as well with that kind of chemistry that we shared since we got together and hopefully last for good.
Picking of a place was decided within a week. Whereby we just shortlisted only 2 restaurants and we agreed that we want chinese food and our main priorities are location and the food must be good. So, we went and surveyed two places and just made a call the next day and booked the place. Picking of wedding band was done in 1 Utama within 2 hours, we only saw 3-4 shops and we decided immediately after we saw that pair of ring in Wah Chan. PreWedding photographer was decided after I tabulated quiet a bit of comparisons and based on our budget, we got a good feeling about them. Gowns and theme was my decision since he trusted my taste. Most of the things we decided easily without much arguments, sorry what 'superstition' I heard from the background? In all, there's no need to make life so difficult.
Honestly, I worked really hard to make this wedding possible. And us who manage to make things worked out within a very short period of time. 1 year to get a place and 1 year to save up for wedding. Those things that you see on Facebook? They were just as good as they are, but the things that we have been through behind the scene was not a smooth sailing journey. Nevertheless, this whole life long journey is a learning path for both of us. Also, each obstacle that we went through is a stepping stone to another one that keeps our relationship strong.
Till then. I've written a whole budget wedding tutorial in a forum.
