342 Days

342 days before “the big day”. It still seems so far away, which means I still have plenty of time to worry and stress all I want. Hehe. Actually planning has been smooth and stress free so far. I’m still very much a Bridechilla. *cross fingers*. I hope the Bridezilla horror stories I always hear won't be applicable to me. I realized recently that I have to stop buying wedding magazines already. It’s getting to be addictive already because the more I read, the more ideas I have; the more ideas I have, the more confused I get. I’ve always wanted a simple, intimate, and elegant wedding. But there’s so much to consider. For one, I have a big family. Yes emphasize on the BIG please. Second, there are certain “protocols” that I have to follow, but certainly would want to do away with if given the choice. And lastly, aside from considering just about everything and everyone else, I also have to consider about us ensuring that both of us do not get lost in the process. Planning is ultimately not forgetting about us as a couple, which is the very reason why we are here in the first place. And here I thought, planning a wedding is just going to be a breeze. I guess with our culture, it’s nearly impossible. I’m not complaining though. Maybe people are probably just as excited as I am. So I’m taking everything in and making sure everyone’s a part of it, at the same time without sacrificing what we want. Hmnn..paano kaya yun? Hehe. I’ve psyched myself over and over again that no matter what happens, I will not sweat the small stuff. Stress, fret, and panic are absolutely no-no’s. After all this is just a one way ticket and I just want to be able to enjoy the ride before it’s over.
