Prior Progression

Its less than a year till the big day. I have got almost 60% of the things in my checklist done. I am not sure how to feel at the moment and hope everything will go smoothly until THE day. K & I have known each other for almost a decade and we made a promise to each other that we will get married in 2018. He even scribbled it on his wardrobe but too bad its already thrown away. Oh my dear child, this is what stupid promises made you do. 

That.....was almost a decade ago. We were teenage sweethearts but we don't really know where this whole thing is going. Whatever it is - it takes a lot for us to get where we are especially when mixed feelings, ambitions and goals are awfully involved during our young adult years. We make mistakes, we cry, we laugh - its all part and parcel of life. It feels like we got this sorted through it all and eventually like people say,"Kalau jodoh, tak kemana." A large amount of time has been invested and my conscience is at peace now, likewise his.  Ok lah, this one backstory only. You need to know a bit more about the couple in question right? You know, a bit of chemistry for the readers and the bride to be. 

Let's go through some of the things in motion prior to the birth of this blog. 
  • Nov 2016: Magic statement popped. On a Supermoon night.
  • Jan 2017: Started researching for venues (only went to 1 venue - because i feel like it) 
  • April 2017: Break the big news to my mom - I needed time to absorb all this and be sure of what i want. Another few venue hunting and managed to secure one. 
Venues were the most head spinning problem to think about. Thankfully, my mum did not force me to take up any particular venue of her interest. Phew. Told her that since i'm paying for it, i will get to choose where i want my wedding held. She did hint some venues which i had strike off my list. I'll get to that in a bit. Since K & me agreed to do a combined wedding, i felt that it is much easier for us to split our bills, save our energy + time + money from transporting our-self from one venue to the other. There were other reasons that i wanted to do a combined wedding as well; i have a lesser amount of guest to invite & i highly doubt K would do a good job in planning for our wedding right? Sorry but that's how i feel. I can't put my trust 101% on a guy whom can't tell the difference between a soft pink & coral drapes. (I trust you 100% except i can't give your the extra 1% to do this) They are guys, what do you expect?! Clueless as ever. 
Let's take a look at some of the venues i have scoured, rejected and dream:

•Gurame 
•Ballroom at East Coast
•Desa Kartika
•Mamanda 
•Lagun Sari
•Concorde Hotel
•Hotel Re!
•Charisma D Avenue
•D'Pelangi
•One Marina
•Landmark
•Royal Palm

I will elaborate more on this soon.

If you realized, no void decks/mph/cc weddings because i'm lazy to find vendors individually. Yup. I don't care what people say....that i can get better this/that offers etc if i look out and choose carefully. I find it a hassle too. Period. To each his own yeah.

My reasons (or people say: excuses)
A) I don't have the time with school and all. 
B) K & i won't have the time to discuss, go over, ask for quotations, email back & forth, set appointments & take leave etc 
C) I just want to sleep and not think about stuff individually. 
D) I prefer it 90% all in one. 
E) Its too late since my wedding is less than a year now & i only started to plan at the quarter of the year. 
F) Let me rilek and shake my leg can or not? Tak nak stress tau.

But whatever it is, i want my wedding to be perfect, prim & proper.

Prologue

Is this really happening? Well, yup. I actually created a blog for the sole purpose of sharing my experiences as a BTB. I think this is one of the best ways to remain anonymous (if vaguely possible?). Actually, more to progression purposes because people will get annoyed if you keep talking about your wedding and i just need an outlet to rant to. They say, enjoy the journey while you can? Right? I'm pretty curious of the outcome.  So let's sit back, grab your teh tarik & rilek. 

T-301 Days: Feeling Whatever....

I am not usually a very organised person but i seem to be able to do things well if i have a list of things i should look out for. Being someone that can even mistook her flight dates wrongly, i learnt my lesson well. I have started marking dates on my Iphone calendar, filing up receipts and contracts, records of payment dates and miscellaneous finances on my excel (thanks to my excel course in school - i get to use my skills lol) and of course keeping my common sense in check via this blog. Looks like i am on the road to be the most organised BTB in the world. Nah. In turn, there's so many things that has been pissing me off on my side lately. Yeah, yeah...wedding woes. Still, my money - my way. Whatever it is - fortunately i have got a few thing settled. I have a few beautiful friends paying some of my little things - which i am so very thankful, Alhamdullilah. I still have to think about some of the things that i might need to consider and get also get done such as: sandi...
