Wedding Anxiety

THE DAY is looming around...another 4 months and I shall be wed. The question I get the most from my colleagues and friends is "How's the wedding planning going?" I had to answer this question 3 times just today. A year ago, I would've answered this in excitement as I go into a bit of detail about venues and dresses...but now...all you will hear is "it's going."

Of course I'm excited about the whole event but you simply wouldn't understand the stress involved in planning every detail and the burden of delegating tasks kindly to your friends and relatives and hoping with all your mighty power that they would help out and that everything would turn out just fine.....unless you've planned your own before.

I think wedding planning is like a virus in your brain and soul. It consumes your leisure time, shower time, eating time, and every other ounce of time that it manages to creep upon you. Upon discussion with my colleagues at lunch today re: my wedding planning, we...or I...drew to the following conclusion: what's with all the games involved in Chinese weddings? So we, the main characters, as well as the food are not enough entertainment for one night that we have to plan how to make a fool of ourselves so others feel joy?!? And in the end, we are suppose to be the happiest ones. Ironic.

Anyway, all in all, it is an exciting event but my suggestion to other engaged couples? Destination wedding.
