How do I even start
this?
It started with a
YES. And then paper lanterns were in the air. AND THEN TIME JUST FLEW. We were
getting married!
I'd have to admit
that I was one clueless bride. Hehe! I haven't been to a lot of weddings and
when I do I really just eat and look at the couple and chat and enjoy the
moment. I don't look at the details. I have never imagined what my dream
wedding would be like, I've never thought of myself on a wedding gown. I really
had to start from zero!
To cut the story
short, Ray had a better vision of how he wanted the wedding more than I did.
Haha! We actually started talking about it since 2013. By 2014 we spent months
discussing the motif and going around bridal fairs. In fact I think it took us
3-4 months to finally agree on watercolor pastels! Man we were bridal fair
warriors!!
For clueless brides
like me, the bridal fairs really helped. I needed to be exposed to a lot of
wedding pegs for me to visualize how I wanted ours to be. And that meant
several weekends of booking a whole day just to walk around on fairs. For Ray,
the purpose was to canvas. I'd call him a canvas-monster HAHA. I don't know
where he gets all this energy to talk to every single person in every single
booth, and do it all over again on the next fair. I tend to get
overwhelmed by all the people and the noise. But this is very helpful in making
sure that you get the best choice in terms of value for money and quality.
For those who
haven't been to bridal fairs, you can imagine that it's like your wedding
market. So many people, so many couples walking from one space to another, and
booth attendants trying to outdo each other and compete for attention. But
because this is a wedding fair, you can expect an overflow of creativity,
music, and pretty things in every turn.
