12 Days before the big one

Time to walk down the memory lane again. This is me musing over the last year's biggest event of my life. I guess this is just something that I really need to commemorate every year as this is one of those dream-all-you-want-but-definitely-won't-have-it kind of realization before but actually happened in my life. So this is a big deal for me. Maybe not just to me but to everyone else who've experienced a childhood dream like this. It's not just the wedding I'm talking about actually. It's just so sweet to taste that amount of happiness when something in your life transpires when you least expect it or when you've worked hard enough to get it or when you always thought that dream will never materialize but still continue to dream about it.

This same day last year, my emotions were rocketing high. Mixed emotions that is. My heart was filled with too much anxiety but totally loving every beat of it. I couldn't feel the excitement yet at that time as there were too many on my list that was too impossible to happen in 12 days. I guess keeping list keeps you on track but it can turn your planning into a total chaos when out of every 100 on your list to do only 25% is happening. Well, looking back now, I know I didn't regret any single decision we've made on our wedding plans. All goes well according to what we've expected. We didn't expect much grandiose thing to happen, anyway. Ours is not a fairytale story or extraordinary or overstated kind of wedding. But it is the best thing that ever happened to me. And after all that time and money spent and year of preparation, the year just passed by and up to this very moment I know that our wedding was still the best thing that happened in my life as I am now looking at that person and I still feel the bliss of getting married to him. It is what's important. That person may not be the perfect person in the world but it all falls into place when that person makes a perfect fit of who you are and what you are in this world. Anniversaries are not clichéd or were they invented by women just to have a reason to get something from their partners. It is imperative as this will remind you of how you've started your life together as one, of how you've surmount the storms in your life and how you've established that strong bond you both shared now. It is a roller coaster ride you will truly enjoy - no matter how many obstacles there are, it's the ride that's so worth all those trouble.

Advance Happy Anniversary, Habiga!!!
