I bet the next week is gonna be the longest seven days of my life. Looking back, though, it's a bit creepy how one full year went by so quick. At the beginning, some people might be asking why did it have to take a year for us to prepare a wedding? Why not hurry, because some of the elders believe that it's bad luck to be engaged for too long a time.
Well, I'm glad we had that full year. We had all the time in the world to research, compare prices and quality for each vendor, and most importantly of course we had more time to fill the piggy bank.
And now the final week's here. Let's revisit some check list, shall we.
1. Invitation - Done. Again, do not go to Atmaraya for invitation. I'm just glad we're done with them.
2. Wedding favors - Done. All we gotta do now is to put the thank-you cards to the souvenir pouches.
3. Rings - Done, of course.
4. Kebaya for midodareni - Went for the final fitting session last night. Man, it's pretty.
5. Decorative photos - We've picked which ones, now Hilman is taking care of it.
6. Honeymoon - All set and ready to go.
7. Seserahan for Bangun - Done. I'm giving him a set of black suit including the formal shirt, pants, shoes and ties; batik shirt; toilettries; a set of towels; a bottle of perfume; baju koko, sarong and peci Aceh; and a basket of fruits. They're currently at the House of Seserahan. Do your best, Tante Mira.
8. A home for the wedding - still :|, but my mom has turned my room at home into a room for two.
Last night I had dinner with my sister, mom, and Bangun's sister, mom and sister-in-law in Kemang, after our kebaya fitting session. We chatted for ours and it hit me right there and then; I'm gonna have a very extended family in a week! And I'm glad that despite everything, they're fun to be with.
