Oops it'a a lack of updates again!
Have been so busy with everything! Work, tuition, house hunting... ROM preparations! It's a rare chance to have some time for myself! Work is okay so far, I have completed my training! The rom preparation proves to be a killer. With me, myself and I doing all the work. And I am not the one who wanted the rom. I will prefer customary together with solemnisation. At least, it makes it a special day for me. The day I signed the papers together with ceremonies to traditionally "officialised" the marriage. Well, that dream is never gonna come true. And I have already accepted that.
Ok back to the preparation, venue has been booked, after urging the stupid boy a million times to settle everything with the restaurant manager. JP has also been settled. After I printed the full list of licenced JPs for him and pushed him to do the calling. He complained that he called alot of them who were unavailable before finding our current JP. But from the list I gave him, he found her on the first page, with 6 or 7 crosses of unavailable JP in front. The rest of the pages were blank. You get what I mean.
Both of us had several disagreements with regards to the rom. He thinks there is no need for:
- wedding invites
- wedding favours
- guest book
- march in
If you are the bride will you get annoyed? He don't even care to put it in black and white to let people know that we are getting married. When asked to accompany me to source out for the inivation cards, he gave a black face. Sometimes it makes me wonder if he is really interested in marrying me and making this a happy memorable occasion. At least for me. He don't even care about how I feel.
He wants the rom, yet I have to do all the shit work.
I have to:
- find paper and envelopes for the invitation card
- think of wordings on the invitation card
- find the printing
- find ring pillow
- find a reputable and experienced and affordable florist to do up the venue
- discuss with the florist the details. Eg. concept, flowers to be used etc
- find wedding songs to be played on the day
- look out for suitable march in songs
- download these songs
- find nice and affordable favours (I totally got no idea on this one)
- find guestbook
- find a simple and nice angpow cash box
- prepare the guest list
- find nice cute wedding plush toys
and the list goes on for more adhoc stuff.
I asked him to call up the restaurant manager to confirm the timing and asked if we can go there an hour earlier to do up the place. I reminded him on at least 3 occasions before he finally called. He said that he will get his buddy to design our invitation card. It's been 2 weeks since there was any news. Our rom is in exactly 2 months. The cards have to be given out at least 3 weeks prior to the rom. so that leaves us only a month. And its only after the design is out I can do the printing. I dunno how long my patience can last before I have to do the work again. The only nice thing he has done for the rom is to get his friend to contact a freelance photographer.
I have a feeling that we are really running out of time. There are so much things to be done and he don't even care about the progression, let alone being a part of it. I am getting so stressed up. I dunno why, but he is always a person who really plans ahead. To do things and be prepared in advance. I dunno why for this biggest day of our lives he chose be behaved otherwise. He can say that he dunno what needs to be done. Well, do I? This is also the first time I am handling all these. I go to forum, I asked around my friends, in order to find out more and how to go about to get things prepared. Why can't he even offer to help? Don't say help, he still wants to oppose me by saying no need for this no need for that. I am going mad soon. I should be enjoying the process of preparation and getting excited as the day draws near. On the contary, I think all the preparations are a hassle and fearing for the day to come as I have not done a single thing.
I think I am down with the pre-marriage syndrome.
Okay I better stop whining. Coz he is bound to see this and get upset with me again. I don even have a space to let out my frustrations...
2 more months before I have to give up my single status forever to a boy who doesn't even get engaged in the wedding preparation. Haiz... It is so sad to think about that. And it is irreversible. I better try to fill up more forms these 2 months. So that I can tick single in the marital status section. Haha. So much complains and frustruations, but I still love my tintin.
