All of us wants to have that "Dream Wedding" but with the current economic situation and time constraints, its difficult to make your dream come true.
As I excitedly narate the progress of my research on all things wedding to H2B, I was wondering why he's half-happy and half-worried (?). I still continue with my story about all these wedding details because usually, it cheers him up. He gave me all the creative-freedom to make our wedding the kind that we and our loved ones would pleasantly remember. After a few minutes of talking about all these little knicks and knacks that I want for our wedding, he was still a little zoned-out. I thought he was just tired from the day's work but later on he said "I'm happy and excited. I like all your ideas. Keep doing that so I'll only need to worry about the expenses." So there.
I'm guilty. I never thought about the expenses. I just give him the numbers and entertain him with all these beautiful wedding ideas while he silently worries about our budget. I feel so bad but I still put on my mega-watt smile and offered to compute and figure it out. We don't need a lot of calculations, we know, our funds are not enough. I guess, this was the convincing that H2B neeeds, to consider civil wedding first. I've been telling him about this because I couldn't wait for two long years. We've been bf/gf for 9 years already. I don't want to wait for 2 to 3 years more to finally be with him so I was insisting on a civil wedding first due to insufficient funds. But, he don't want to settle so we compromised to 2 years, a nice church wedding.
I was telling him yesterday that I will go to the church today and ask for the availability of the date we want, terms of payment and what have you. I told him, if my cash is enough, I'll reserve the church pronto. I guess that was the reality check we needed. It'll be less than two years from now and as we compute for our future earnings and savings versus expenses, there's a big disconnect - it's scary.
So now, we are back to square 1. Church or Civil? Date?
take it easy,
W2B
