Wedding musings

I have been organizing the wedding preparations, and contrary to what movies tell you , no, its not that hard. Initially, I did get a bit weepy because no one is actually around for me to ask , 'Do I look fat in this' , get my bouquet or book the restaurant, but its all just fabricated pressure. Incredible pressure to have a 'perfect wedding', no expense spared.

I know its supposed to be the most special day of your life.... but I don't think its worth it exchanging material harmony for emotional bliss; Why should I be upset on my wedding day if my dress isn't Vera Wang ? Its is confusing when everything else tells you to want glamor, when love is simple .

I am content, wings or caviar, when I am with Matt. Amongst all the oversized bouquets and dresses, fancy restaurants and limos, I keep coming back to the fact that all those things just distract everyone from the emotional union of him and me.

In the end , the most important thing is the question itself.

Of course, this doesn't mean I want a small party when I get back to Singapore. :) The more food the better.
