Bride Blah: There and Back Again

I can't believe that it has already passed.  That one day event we have been planning for almost a year happened like just a snap.  Until now I am collecting every thought and memory during that day because the things are still blurry.  Maybe I am still overwhelmed.

I remember my excitement that day when I left Saudi Arabia.  I told myself at last, I can finally be home.  And the thought of home goes straight to the remaining days that I myself can prepare for the wedding.  What I did not expect was the stress as the day itself fastly approached.  There was not a day that we (I, my mother-in-law and Grace) did not travel from the house down South to different parts of the metro to haggle and rush for things like gown fittings and shoe fittings, supplier meetings, invitation giving among other things plus the fact that mama was also on vacation so some extra trips to the spa or a dinner was an inevitable part of the itinerary.

Noel's arrival ten days later was the time when we finally succumbed to total stress + anxiety.  It was unbelievable how we can't seem to fit everything that we need to do in 24 hours that we need some hours more! The things that I thought were already okay became oh-kayyy and a lot of "to-dos" sprang out of nowhere.  We had no choice but to accomplish everything otherwise all will be messed up.  As expected, between all these are disagreements and yelling here and there. Oh well, that's the crap that stress brings.  Thankfully, there were a lot of hands who extended their help in one way or another.

Like what I have said, the days passed by so quickly like seconds, one morning I woke up and it's already the 22nd!  And from there I don't know how to continue this word salad.  Haha!  What I know is I am happy that I get to experience how it feels to be a bridechilla turned bridezilla (then to bridechilla again few days before the wedding) and through the course of everything I have discovered a lot of reasons to fall in love with my husband even more.

The more coherent and sensible posts will be to follow.
