You’re right, the title says it all. I’m planning for a wedding in less than 6 months and looking forward to the biggest party of my life!
To be exact, it should only be 5 months from that very moment we decided on the date. Minus the 7th lunar month in August, theoretically we only have 4 working months to do everything! I’m glad we managed to finalise the date and venue before we entered the 7th lunar month, as well as decided on Yvonne Creative as our bridal studio! Given that our wedding date is a pretty hot date of the year, I’m surprised that my top pick venue Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is available for solemnisation and lunch reception, which is what we intended it to be all along! So wheeeee lucky us! 🙂
Time check as of today, our big day is slightly less than 4 months away… and it definitely feels like we are only about 10% done… Time for the wedding planners to work abit harder! And the wedding planners are none other than Mister & Missus Pte Ltd lols. Since we trust ourselves more than anyone else, we decided to be really hands-on for this event and at the same time, channel our limited pool of funds for a better use.
Having said that, I think planning for a wedding is a strong test of the relationship that you share with your partner haha. As much as I am shy to admit, we did quarrel countless times for certain decisions that we need to make, like the wedding date, the videographer, customary practices, etc.
While a wedding is the celebration of the union of the couple, it also signifies the union of 2 families with their own needs and wants. 1 month since wedding preparations have started, I have learnt that face-to-face conversation and compromise are important for peaceful discussions and getting things done.
With slightly less than 4 months to go, we are definitely in our speedy bom bee bee stage, buzzing around to get things done over the weekends and whenever we can. We do things by order of priority like, recee-ing potential photoshoot sites and buying matching shoes for our outfits for our pre-wedding shoot next Saturday. That was really high on our priority list last weekend! Other things like site recee part 2, wedding band, wedding cake, wedding decorations and so on are lined up weekends after weekends. I realise the amount of hard work that we need to dedicate just to pull off this party of our lives! Tough work, but yet very exciting!
