Being married for just 3 days, I don't feel any different. Maybe we do not stay together after we are married hence we don't feel that difference? Some of our friends stay together with their husband or wife after ROM. Some will bunk into their in laws place while others start to stay at their own place over the weekends.
Now I start to wonder if it is a mistake to ROM first before the actual day. It seems like a lot of people is asking me why aren't they invited for the ROM. Some even commented that I did it secretly. Oh my. I just did not announce it to everyone. I just told people who were close to me as well as those who ask. I will definitely invite the others on my actual day. If i were to invite everyone this time, then I will have to cater to a lot of people. This is meant to be a small private event to me.
Looking back at the event and hearing comments about it, I realised that I was too anxious that day. Did not walk slowly enough, I heard that I was rushing to the table. OMG. ahhaa. Things like this. I realised that I should had tried to enjoy the event and take my own sweet time. So what if the weather is a little hot? I should enjoy the moment. Hiaz. Now that its all over, I guess I will only have to look forward to the actual day itself

Today is 18 November 2007, one day after being MARRIED. Oh my. Feelings of being married? Erm but I am sorry to say, not much different. Just that when I wake up this morning, I turned my head and saw someone beside me. I just can't seems to believe that I am married!
On Friday, I just could not sleep. I wanted to as I was pretty tired, but when I laid one the bed, I just could not go and sleep. Got up and watched Ghost Whisperer. I tried to sleep again and I am not sure what time I fell asleep. Woke up at 6.30am! Oh my, I could not sleep anymore. Toss around in bed till around 8am and watch some tv and surf the net a bit more.
After breakfast, we headed off to collect the bouquet from the florist and reached the hotel for check in at 12pm. While waiting for the cab to head towards the bridal shop for my makeup, we saw Tiffany, our primary school classmate. She is working at the hotel as a sales coordinator! Oh my! haha she was a little angry with us for not telling her that we were getting married. ahhaa.
After the makeup, Huiping came and pick me up from the bridal. Thanks a lot gal! When I reached the hotel, both my parents and his parents were there! Haha.. Guest then started to stream in. We took some time off to take photos before the event started, while my cousins helped out with the reception.
The event was pretty funny! We kind of walked too fast! Haha My cousins were laughing at us. I guess I was also too nervous as when I read the vows! hehe. Finally all was over after the ceremony. Took photos with all my friends and all. We did not get to eat the fabulous food that was offered during the high tea. We packed some of the food into the room but we can't seems to eat at all. Then we drank some champage which I had bought when I was overseas. After a glass or so, we just fell asleep at around 8 pm hahaha. Very tired!
Guess what, we woke up at 12 midnight with a hangover. I guess it was because we drank on a empty stomache. Took some aspirin, we feel asleep till this morning. Haha what a way to spend a night. Luckily I am on leave tomorrow and will be able to rest more. Poor hubby, has to work tomorrow.Labels: wedding

In less than 48 hours, I will no longer be just Miss Tan. I will be Mrs Tan, Mdm Tan and Ms Tan. haha. Although after the soleminzation, we will still stay at our own homes, its really a reality check that we are no longer that young anymore. We are really adults that have to be responsible for our own actions as we are setting up a home call our own.
Although we have past the 21 year old mark a long time ago, but it just seems that on the day we sign on the dotted line, we are really ADULTS. haha. Sometimes I still forget the fact that I am already 27 years old, I am no longer 18 or 19 where I still can play around and just don't act my age. I still ask myself this question, am I really that old already?? When I was young, I wondered when will I get to wear that nice pretty wedding gown. My answer will always be not so fast, I am still so young. Hmmm, now.. haha am I really that young? Another 3 more years and I will hit the big 30 already! Hiaz, how fast time flies.

Today I took leave and went to collect the Marriage Certificate from ROM. The process was pretty fast. We just need to take a queue no and wait for our turn while we fill up a form.
While waiting, we saw couples waiting for their turn to enter the room where the soleminzation is being conducted. They were all waiting outside for their turns. When then its their turn next, they will be informed to standby outside the room as they will be next. Once their name is flashed across the screen, in they go.
Seeing things like that, I think I have made the right decision to have my soleminzation at the hotel instead of having it at the ROM. Everything there seems to be so rushed. With it at the hotel, at least I will not need to rush to the venue and wait around like everyone. After the event, I also do not need to worry about getting to another venue for high tea or lunch. We don't have vehicles hence getting from one place to another is not that convinient either. Hence we decided to have it at the hotel instead of the ROM.
Now its less than 3 days! Getting more and more nervous. Oh my headache now.

In less then 5 days at this particular time, I will have signed on the dotted lines and change my status forever! OMG. I am getting nervous and excited at the same time. I have having some difficulty sleeping now. Keep thinking about the things that has yet to be done or done. Whether I have forgotten anything. Now I am so tired that I can't think straight
I am also starting to wonder if I had done all these in a rush. Looking back I know I did not rush into things however as the date draws near, I start to be a little unsure about things. It does not help when I start to irritate him with repeating my questions about whether this is the right thing to do and so on.
Things are not that easy to me, its not just signing on the line. Your entire life will change. You will have to be more responsible then what you are right now as there is someone else apart from your mother, father and siblings. You also loose your "freedom" to do things the way you want to. You have to respect his feelings and consider how will he feel if you do certain things that might affect him. Hence your entire life will change.
I have gone for my final fitting at the bridal. The pink dress seems ok at that point in time. The people at the bridal was saying that I look ok in it as it suits me. They also mentioned that since I will be wearing white on the AD, why don't I wear pink for now. Something different from the actual day. I showed the photos to my friends, they were all saying that I should wear the white one which I bought it myself instead of the pink one. They felt that it looks nicer on me. Hiaz I really don't know.
