The ABC guide to being a Bo-chap Bride
Written on 10:16 PM by Moobells
This post is written especially to many Bride-to-be out there who is having the same "problem" as Moi, to "assure" them that it's ok to be bo-chap and it's nothing particular being a bo-chap bride-to-be.
AND so even after finalising most of the things for my BIG day (with 3 months to go), I still received many comments and criticisms as to what I want for my BIG day. It doesn't really bother Moi since I do understand that family members, friends and relatives meant well and at the end of the day, since they aren't going to be the ONES going through the ceremony, exchanging the vows, foot the bill, and remember this occasion for life, I know they will still come in terms and respect my decision as it is, sooner or later.
Moi was sharing with JL and YS the other day over dinner that MooCow and myself went ahead to book a small venue and just exclude any other possible additional people that our parents wanted to include. We have kept it super exclusive basically because we wanted to spent real quality time receiving blessings from family and friends, spending quality time to talk to all our guests and smile and toast with them. Wearing pretty dresses and appear like Miss Singapore is not our priority at all. Just because everyone is doing that, doesn't mean I have to.
Dun ever feel pressurised that you have to invite everyone cause the closed friends that matters will understand and still support you if they knew you cannot invite them and for those who aint close (EG. colleagues and yonkers acquaintances), their moos and groans do not matter and most probably they should be happy that they do not need to give you angpows. =P
A wedding is only a moment but a marriage is for a lifetime. If you wish to have the wedding gala with the glitters and glam, why not? By all means. If you wish to be that bo-chap bride like Moi, why bother with other people's comments? The ones who will be tired out, stress-out and exhausted will be you and never the guests or other people.
Life is short, dun live it for others. And for me, I never believe in doing things for the sake of it.
Call me giam, stupid, bo-chap, siao!!! I dun care lah!! hohohohoho!
