Stressed out?

And it’s been months since I last blogged. Oh well, lazy girl is a lazy girl after all. New Year only means that I have exactly a year to prepare. A FREAKING ONE YEAR TO MY WEDDING! How exciting is that? Not. But seriously, a year? Well, now it’s already less than a year coz January is ending soon.

So far most of the major vendors are secured. But I’m still stressing out on the berkats. My initial idea was Honey but it was over our budget and changed to Jams instead. Then again, the Jams might be too small and you know how guests normally are. “eh, keciknye berkat die” seriously if I ever hear that kind of comment, nak kena mintak sepak aje. Like hello, it is suppose to be a berkat and just take it lah. Kan? My parents thought it was too small *smacks forehead* and if I were to increase the qty to 2 it will definitely out of our budget. And so I stuck till then. My uncle suggested a pocket sejadah, good idea but can’t find it through the all-amazing google, which means gotta travel down to JB. Also, we both decided to give out the same berkats so that when purchased in bigger quantities, the price will be slightly cheaper. Even a hundred mean ALOT now.

 

The next thing up on my stress list is Videography. This has got us arguing all the time whenever I bring it up. The main reason for having a video taken on our wedding day is to capture the moment. Yes true, photos are able to capture moments but not like the videos. I wanna see how we both look on that day, how I reacted or how nervous or calm during akad nikah. So what about chucking it one side after watching it once. There will be times when you feel down and you just wanna watch it again or when you’re fighting with each other and it could be a reminder how we both got together. Right? He is still against it coz of budget (as usual) but I will not give up. I even enquired my cousin (who does photography and videography full time I think). Hopefully he gets back to me asap so I could book him. Heh heh. I don’t mind forking out my own cash (not the wedding savings) to have a video. I am that determined.

 

And the last thing (for now) on my stress list is Bridal. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before but the bridal I booked is not the well known bridal as we all know. It was a risk but I did it. It is not that I’m saing they’re cheating out of our money (hopefully not). It’s just that I don’t see any updated on their social media – Facebook, Instagram and Website. It just got me worried but I wanna hope for the best and I really hope they’re not like the other vendors who leave their client behind. Insyaallah it will be fine.
