One Hundred Days!

100 days. One HUNDRED DAYS. Wow.

From the day of our modest little proposal on the 20th of December, 2012, our chosen day for our wedding seemed like a lifetime away. Two whole years! That's plenty of time to plan and get everything ready right? Not a problem whatsoever!

One year later, we thought to ourselves, "Hmmm, maybe it's time we got something done for our wedding". Word to the wise here boys and girls, having a long engagement can be both a blessing and a curse! The word procrastinate has never been more applicable, I swear.

So the first thing on our list (a very short, short list at that), was to get our hotel/restaurant shopping done. Hey, one whole year away, no problem right? I mean, one entire year away, what could possibly go wrong? Apparently, plenty. From the sheer magnitude of the tables (at last count we were up to 80 tables), to the age old question that many couples experience ("So where do you wanna go?" "Don't know? Where do you wanna go?" "Don't know, up to you lah"...), to going to restaurant and hotels and finding out that there were bookings made and confirmed already (What the flying potato!?!?!) to say it was a challenge is probably a massive understatement. But somehow, we managed to get that sorted, confirmed a place and boy were we glad!

So obviously after that little stunt, we learned our lesson and did everything quickly and efficiently right? We got everything ready and available, so that we wouldn't need to rush and everything could be done at own leisure. That would be the logical way to do it right?

Wrong.

What followed was even more procrastination, with the both of us going "Meh, we've still got loads of time lah, no worry! I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"

But if you think about it, in a away we do have loads of time. Because at the end of the day, when you strip away the fanfare, the glitz and the glamour of it all, a marriage is our way of telling the world loud and proud that we're taken, hands off! To me, i've been married to my soulmate since that faithful day at the HELP carpark when she said she would be my girlfriend. We've had all this time together, and the rest of our lives from here on out, so yes, we've got loads of time ahead of us :)

Here's to our final 100 days of officially being Mr Low and Ms Cheong, the final ton before we lose ourselves in one another and legally become JoelAndMichelle. And to chart our final days of our individual lives, we'll blog about something every 10 days or so. To help us remember the fantastic, sometimes scary, but always fun journey to the day we become man and wife. And also to give us all a good laugh here and there along the way :)

Here's to us! I love you!
