i must say, life without wedding planning has been lovely. no deadlines, no vendors to follow up with (except those at work), no urgent to-dos, no opening taobao app/websites on the way to work to look at wedding gowns, no coming up with a long list of logistics to buy for the deco/favours.
in the weeks leading up to the wedding, i was extremely stressed and perpetually cranky as i was trying to finish a huge pile at work and juggling the planning. it didn't help that i had decided to do things from scratch (favours, decor, invites), and that added a lot of last minute stress to me and my sis, who was coordinating all the aesthetics related stuff.
but looking back, i would still have made the choice to DIY stuff, because i really loved how everything turned out in the end! at least i was rather chill on that day. not to mention, han yang and i really enjoyed ourselves, seeing all our loved ones congregate together on this special day to share the joy with us. i keep running through the day's events in my head, reminiscing and giving thanks for everything that God provided for the both of us.
a big kudos to my lifegroup, who stayed up so late the night before at the church to ensure that the truckload of flowers that my sister and i picked out were cleaned and arranged, and to the many friends who helped out with the wedding favours.
i'm totally gonna document this crazy process in the next few weeks when i've some time, the list of crazy things i did myself/ with the help of others/ engaged help but worth blogging about:
invites
wedding bands
programme/ day's flow
if there was anything i should have done more, it was to get more sleep so i wouldn't have had to look like a zombie that day. and also, to engage a hair stylist for the morning (the hair stylist i engaged bailed out on us the last minute, and i decided to do my own hair and makeup. did it in an hour, but really wish it had been professional).
i still have yet to receive the crazy malacca wedding photos! that was an epic experience of a true-blue malaysian wedding.
