We Got Married!

April 2, 2015

Our Dream Wedding

Three months ago, I married my sweetheart/boyfriend of 11 years.  What a relief to have finally achieved something we have dream for years… and planned for a year!  The journey was pretty much exhausting but when that day finally came over, we know that all that we have done (and spent) was worth it. Sure it wasn’t at all perfect, but I married the man I love and who loves me and that’s perfect enough.  Ohh! Can I just say my make up was perfect too! hehe

I would have blogged every little detail about the planning not to mention the headaches we got from some suppliers, but I just couldn’t find the heart (and time) to do so. It still hasn’t sunk in that now I am someone’s wife. Because even after the wedding up until now, I still refer to my husband as boyfriend. I know. Lol.
