I&#8217;m planning for a wedding in less than 6 months and looking forward to the biggest party of my life!<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>everything<\/em>! I&#8217;m glad we\u00a0managed to\u00a0finalise the date and venue before we entered the 7th lunar month, as well as decided on Yvonne Creative as our bridal studio! Given that\u00a0our wedding date is a pretty hot date of the year, I&#8217;m surprised that my top pick venue Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa is available for\u00a0solemnisation and lunch reception, which is what we intended it to be all along! So wheeeee lucky us! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Time check as of today,\u00a0our big day is slightly less than 4 months away&#8230; and it definitely feels like we are only about 10% done&#8230; Time for the wedding planners to work abit harder! And the wedding planners are none other than <em>Mister &amp; Missus Pte Ltd <\/em>lols.\u00a0Since 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u00a0shy to admit, we did\u00a0quarrel\u00a0<em>countless<\/em> times for certain decisions that we need to make, like the wedding date, the videographer, customary practices, etc.<\/p>\n<p>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\u00a0face-to-face\u00a0conversation\u00a0and compromise are important\u00a0for peaceful discussions and getting things done.<\/p>\n<p>With slightly less than 4 months to go, we are definitely in our <em>speedy bom bee bee<\/em> 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\u00a0sites\u00a0and\u00a0buying matching shoes for our outfits for our\u00a0pre-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!<\/p>\n<p>More posts to follow\u00a0on our experiences during\u00a0our wedding preparation journey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re right, the title says it all.
