Crazy and in love

I’m not working because I am busy admiring myself.

I mean, come on, the pictures taken by Ead are like, how gorgeous! And he makes me look super gorgeous glamorous too. My colleagues couldn’t believe that it’s me, since I’m always in my specs, shorts/jeans and teeshirts (with no makeup) at work. Granted, I do look like a vampire in some shots (I had a makeup trial right before the shoot) but overall, I have to say that the makeup looks pretty good.

And we did have so much fun! I was remarking to the boyf that it was a good thing we did the engagement shoot because it’s helped us articulate how much we love each other. We know we love each other but sometimes, we don’t show it openly and this shoot has made us realise just how crazy in love we are.

I’m going to stop talking and continue admiring myself. Thank you Ead for making us look so pretty (I feel pretty, and witty and light!)!

100 more days to being more than just friends

(photo by her)

In about 100 days and 17 hours (as of writing), she will be walking down the aisle filled with flowers thrown by our flower boys to my arms as we take our vows to be husband and wife. In 100 days time, we will no longer be just friends. We will take a path not gone before but one, we are definitely looking forward to.

I can’t wait for the next 100 days to zoom past.

Veil unveiling

I am a happy bride-to-be!

Thanks to my personal FedEx man Joker, my “decorations” have arrived! They look really cute in their packaging and hopefully, they are 1000000000x cuter when unfolded and enhanced by the erm “things”. Don’t ask. I’m trying to cultivate a sense of mystery here.

And best of all, my veil is here! Now, I am a control freak. I want to make sure that every element of this fun wedding is done up according to my wishes. I mean, our wishes. Right. Anyway, I saw that the veil given by my bridal boutique isn’t that nice and decided to get an alternative. The problem is, these tiny pieces of tulle cost a hell lot of money. Some boutiques were hawking theirs for $200. Like, seriously?!

So I started surfing online and came across a few gorgeous pieces. But these intricate veils with delicate beading were out of my budget at almost US$80 per pop. In the end, simplicity and timelessness ruled over my vanity. Afterall, nobody (unless you are crazy brides-to-be) would be gushing over the veil at the wedding.

And who knew there is so much to learn about veils. One-tiered, two-tiered, drop, mantilla, edging, beading, crystals, pearls, colours, length, fullness…..it made me tired just thinking about it. Initially, I wanted to get a two-tiered veil because I wanted to have a blusher (the tier that hangs over your face, nothing to do with your cheek colour) but because my dress is a meringue nightmare with big poufy layers of tulle, I decided that a poufy veil would make me look like a poodle.

Then I saw this. I love how the drop veil hangs delicately, and how simple and elegant it is. It doesn’t distract and yet serves its purpose cleanly. Ah, drop veil it is then.

Since I am tiny, a cathedral veil is out of the question. Sigh. In the end, I opted for Occansey Designs because it is highly rated and has a 50-inch drop veil that is wallet-friendly.

I tried it on with my wedding dress just now and had a picture taken (hooray for tripods), and I am thrilled with the effect. It’s now uploaded on a semi-secret location because I don’t want the boyf to see it.

Yay! Now, I’m super looking forward to our Friday engagement photo shoot with Eadwine!
