to be featured or not to be

The whole while we were having our preps, along with dreaming for a beautiful outcome of our wedding, I dreamt as well on being featured on a Martha Stewarts Philippines magazine or on bridal wedsites like Bridalbook.

Now that our wedding is all done however, and that I had the beautiful wedding I dreamt of, somehow, the dream on being featured on bridal magazines and websites doesn’t appeal as much to me anymore. I have great photos, and I can just easily submit them and then I’d only be a few steps away.

But then what was previously a dream isn’t one anymore. At least for now.

Probably, after a few months, or years(?), I’d change my mindset and want to get featured again. But for now, posting our pictures on our wedsite is more than enough for me.

Thankful for Atsushi

Planning a wedding can be really exciting. It’s lots of fun and it’s a good venue for growth – both emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, socially – anyway, growth in almost all facets of your life.

But yes, it can be emotionally intense. And if you are really in the thick of the action in your wedding preps, you’d need an emotional anchor.

Hence, I am really thankful for Atsushi who understands my thoughts and what I feel and who can balance my emotional side with his sensible side. He is sense and I’m sensibility. Although there are times we do switch sides.

And I am thankful to God, for sending Atsushi my way. Truly, His plans and what He wants for me are way better than what I thought I wanted.

I am far from perfect. So one thing I wish. That in the course of preparing for our wedding no feelings would be hurt. If there are friction and tension among different parties, I hope that it’s just temporal. And most of all, I hope (okay that’s two wishes hehe) that Atsushi and I would be spending our wedding day with the people we most care about and who care most about us.
