I feel like I haven't written a proper blog post for some time... and sadly haven't written about anything else much besides home and wedding stuff. Even over this long CNY weekend, half of it has been kinda spent on wedding-related stuff... I dunno if this is a 'normal' ritual every couple goes through, but am starting to feel wasted having spent a disproportionate amt of time and effort online looking at wedding favors/ cake designs/ flower decor and such. I suspect it's just ME. And the growing bridezilla in me has repeatedly chosen these tasks over those that prob matter to me over the longer term... such as the acquisition of general knowledge through... reading of newspapers and keeping up-to-date with current affairs stuff, which my current job requires me to be.

Was also thinking about the wedding speech portion of dinner; and wondering why anyone wld want to say anything about me; and what can anyone possibly say...? Choosing WHO to give the one wedding speech for you is also a headachey decision to make. Perhaps the best solution is to have no other wedding speech aside from the one that D & I will give and save my dear friends from any trouble/ sleepless nights?

Need to remind myself not to get so carried away with making everything 'right' that I neglect to appreciate all the selfless things that my friends and family have and will be doing for me... I suppose weddings are still weddings and it's odd for a wedding to NOT revolve around the couple getting married. But just need to be mindful that it should also be a time to have fun, enjoy and appreciate the company of friends and family, so it wun end up being an overly self-glorifying, self-centred affair?
