What it means to have a wedding and be married

I am not expert in marriage or weddings, but I do know something;
You will be surprised who is left standing on your big day or the days after.

It was about this time last year, we started putting our first deposit with our respective vendors. And believe it or not, planning a wedding with only less than a year to your wedding day IS possible. So BTBs who still have 1.5 years and more to go, CHILL YOUR TITS. They will be like "In my defence, all the good vendors will be taken up very quickly." IMO, tak mati ok? The saying that goes "If it meant to be yours, never in a million years it would be for someone else." TBH, I don't read a lot of BTBs' blogs because some over giler, and uols know I very menyampah about these kind of things. Sorry nyah, no time for that.

Up til now, some people (I don't want to say who but I think you know the person really well hahaha) still don't get why I am "kutuk-ing" about other people's lavish wedding. I am happy for people who can AFFORD lavish wedding. Bless these people who have that kind of money and want to spend on one day. For me, I'd rather spend it on something else that benefits me and my husband because, well you know, it is our hard earned money. I diss at those who menyusahkan orang/diri sendiri/ tunang-who-is-your-future-husband and berhutang. Spend money you don't have to save face? Alahai sayang, people will talk about it for just one day. But 10 years down the road, people won't say "Eh ingat decor kau yang 5 ribu tu, lawa sey" The thing about people is they have the audacity to judge but they don't come out a single cent yet you spend thousands of dollars to please these people? Please. See, you spend so much yet people talk about it which will cause you to sakit hati. You spend just enough, people still talk which will cause you to sakit hati. Moral of the story? Spend just enough, let people talk but you are debt-free. And wait, why the hell are you inviting these kind of people anyway? Well for us, some "family" are unavoidable.

And a tip: Never, ever tell the bride you know how she feels.
Guess what my friend? You don't. Until you have planned your very own wedding and trying very hard to keep everything together, you don't understand what the bride feels. And oh, same goes with money. Unless every single thing is paid with your own money, don't ever say you understand how it feels like to pay for your own wedding. For us, we finally understand the value of our wedding that we have saved over the year for it and we earned bragging rights, well for the rest of our lives.

Anyway here's a wrap to #Rsyhrl3115Rnny. No more entries about hantaran, BTBs, bridals, food, venue, etc. This chapter is over and I am so happy for every single thing that had happened along the way/to me/us. I am truly blessed to have a husband who is super kind and loving. Now I know what's the fuss about getting married quickly. Apart from sex, you will be surprised how amazing marriage is. So cepat cepat kahwin okay? All the best to future BTBs and those who have not found the one, keep the chin up high ok. We are made in pairs.

Goodbye Kahwin Series, you have been amazing.

Percaya pada satu hari nanti -RR
(and yes, that is MY mantra, MY saying. Don't use it and wanna be friends with me. Pls.)
