Then you become anxious. Nervous. And it sinks in, you will be married in ___ months' or years' time. OMG. Do we have the money? Do we have enough time?
And then, you suddenly put together a rough draft of the wedding in your mind; you watch SDEs endlessly; research takes up most if not your entire day; you start hoarding and booking all the things you THINK you NEED right then and there. Because your impulse and adrenaline hit you and tell you, YOU NEED THIS.
After, the dust settles. You enter a state of calm, when everything is already digested, accepted. When you've had time to think and think hard.
Suddenly, you second guess yourself. Did I make the right choices? Did I make the right decisions? Should I have gotten this instead of that? Was I too hasty? Were my priorities in place?
And then comes the bargaining. Your mind becomes the more practical (or sometimes the more extravagant) side of you. What could I do without? Should I have not scrimped on this? What can maximize the money we're spending on this wedding?
I am not yet done with the phases, I'm sad to say. I am still in between all of them--sometimes anxious, a lot of the times, excited; sometimes questioning myself, and then a lot more times assuring myself, it will be okay. Yet all of it, were the happiest I've ever been.
And so with that, I present my latest pegs, again, an evolution from my previous likes! (Photos from brideandbreakfast.ph ; setup by Pat Pastelero of Spruce Florals)
