A year from now

Okay the beginning should start on 7th November 2014 but we returned late but delirious after the ecstatic surprise we have gotten from Uncle's 60th birthday.  So, no biggie in starting to record the memories from now.

Now, 1 year before the biggest event so far in my life that propels me to the height of my imagined stardom and flaunting my divaness at my fullest as all spotlights are on me -- the bride, i have to start this tale by clarifying that i don't think i'll be a bridezilla (heard a choruses of imaginary 'yeah right' and sensing some invisible rolling eyes).

I've been hit left right centre with 2 perspectives -- some people think that weddings are overrated, and should be a small and intimate celebration with a small budget.

Some people, on the other hand, think that wedding is once a in a lifetime and if we can have a dream wedding, why hold back??

To me, a dream wedding means having an enormous budget, with everyone heeding my call, and me having the power to decide every detail without having to lay a finger to do the actual work or spend a single cent myself. I'm not a DIY or crafty bride, so creating the entire event by myself will not happen.

Nevertheless, i'm a researcher bride and will tirelessly do pinning, researching online and discussing with family and friends.

Therefore, when the reality is that i do not have a limitless budget and have to set priorities, i find this a fun challenge. This means it's a journey of maximizing the value of what i'm going to pay for.

I'm going to document the learnings along the journey and one year from now, my dream wedding project will come to fruition :))
