Wedding blues

I have been thinking of planning a wedding on a small budget and there are so many ideas that came into my mind. Now I know all of those will not be very practical but still a lot of them can be done pretty nicely.

First thing is that planning a wedding on a small budget needs some good planning, that to in advance. Don’t keep anything for the chance or for the last minute. The more things you fix up early you have a better chance of getting a good deal. For example one of the bigger expenses is the charges for the venue. We can book it in advance and may be choose a day time wedding on a holiday. So that we could get a good discount. This way some money can be saved in the decorations and lights in the night. I know I am smart but this is just the starting.

I also got this book on Planning a wedding on a small wedding and it has some good tips in here with the check list which I was actually looking for. Got it cheap but its good. Now everything is to be checked for the right deals. I forgot to mention that I am getting the wedding dress as a wedding gift from my cousin so that makes it good. Everyone who will read this must be thinking that this girl is really into saving. But what I really want at this time is not to burden up my dad with any extra expenses so I want him to spend as little as possible. Of course I grew up dreaming of a big lavish wedding but its ok, I am getting the man I love the most in the world and that is all that matters to me.

Now as a mature grown up girl I feel that a wedding is a ceremony where a family gets together to celebrate a new relationship and give their blessings. It does nt have to be a costly affair where you have to show others how lavishly you can spend, a wedding on a small budget can be as well. Spending really has no limits. There are millionaires and then there are billionaires, the question is how much you are happy with and what makes your happiness.

I have always been a girl who bonded very well with family and love family ties and as a child looked forward to all those occasions where we could get together for some good times. Those were happy moments for me. I don’t know but some people are brought up so differently, they live in isolation. A friend of mine is so quiet that even a talkative person like me has a tough time getting him to talk. He likes to be alone and live with himself. He has always been that way.

How can you live a life and not share it with anyone. That would be too boring for me. And thank god my fiancée is just the same as me. He is as lively as me and we have a blast most of the times sometimes it not for the good but every time you can not keep the good old sweet flavor.

I have started making plans for my marriage and the wedding day. Got a basic checklist made now I will go into making sub lists for each part so that nothing is kept to the last minute. I don’t really want to spend much on the wedding so have to plan accordingly. My dad has other expenses to take care of as well besides my wedding so I don’t want to spend to much form our savings. I ll have to see where can I get some savings out of our expenses. I think I should pen down some of the things I have in mind, some ideas which can be implemented to save some good bucks on the wedding or the budget wedding. Anyway you call it. I still have a good time in my hand and if I plan and book everything in advance some money can be saved. I need to take out the maths student in me to do some calculations and negotiations.

I am so exited, well anyone in my position would be happy as I am. You would be wondering why? I just got engaged with my boy. We have been around for 3 years now. What a time it has be. As I look in the past we have had our share of ups and downs. I think every relationship goes through phases. A relationship has to mature with time.

Anyways I will be writing about relationships forever but right now I am writing this just because I am feeling good and need to write. I love to write when I am happy or sad, though not very good with words as a writer but I still manage to do a fair job. I don’t really have to show my talent to anyone or something It is something that I enjoy doing and I love to read my diaries later when I have forgot about the event that caused me to write. That’s a nostalgic feeling sometimes, reading your old pages.

And I have this ADD which gets me going on every possible topic I think of, I start with something else and end up writing on an entirely different topic. So I have to look back and see what did I start with initially. I am looking forward to my wedding now, waiting for the wedding day which happens to be six months from now. There are so many things to be taken care of but I guess that is where the good part is. It is the journey and not the destination as they say but sometimes both are good. I am rally happy that I have known him for so long now and we are good together. Will keep posting as and when I feel like.
