2nd Year Anniversary

Happy 2nd Anniversary Hubby! (if u r reading this)

Time flies and it has been 2 years since the ‘Big Day’. Actually, I still can remember all the planning details of our wedding (28 Aug 2004). I remember not long after hubby proposed with a platinum diamond ring (my favourite, cost him a bomb!), we sat down one night in McDonald’s to discuss the wedding budget. We have very little then (still not much now, but better la) but we decided on the date boldly and trust that we will make it through.

The whole journey of the wedding preparation was the most enjoying time of my life. We were working together in the same department then, and we have all the time to discuss and share about our wedding preparations. Even our boss and colleagues was giving us ideas (my boss actually created his own wedding photos, 80’s type presentation and showed it to me as a sample). I guess it was like a wedding hype in our work place then. I felt so good and positive all the time that my complexion improved so much and really glow.

When our bridal photos was done, I brought it to the office cause my colleagues wanted to see it, and I realized later that it was circulated all the way to our big big boss to see. I felt uneasy but big big boss commented that he is pleased to see us getting married emoticon

Hubby and I went to so many restaurants to check out the dinner tables and we were glad to find a good one (good food and within budget), not too far from church where we will be having our wedding ceremony and solemnization.

I have always visualized my wedding to be in a fairytale garden setting since I am a kid. So, with not much budget for deco, I mainly did a lot of reseach online and made those deco myself (church pew ribbons, staircase deco, ribbons for doors, unity candles, backdrop and etc.). A cousin sister recommended a family florist that charged me a very reasonable price for the flowers and flower arch. I still remember that I took almost a month to hand made our wedding favours, it is Hershey’s chocolate wrapped into the shape of a rose. A lot of work, and sometimes I will do it until midnight and my mom helped me out. Enjoy every moment of it emoticon

Ahhh…remembering all this makes me feel good again and now I am mid-way growing our baby inside me. Wonder how I will feel when I see baby for the first time? Will it be as exciting and refreshing as the morning of our wedding day?! emoticon
