I am getting engaged! It’s nuptial fever for me. I know that sounds not so amazing to you, yes it does to me! I hit the jittery mode since October and not sure how to put it other than I am geared up for this big moment of my life. The clock’s ticking and I only have about 2 weeks from now. All the groundwork almost ready to roll but with last touch-up being done progressively. As I flicked my calendar last week, I was having cold feet the moment I saw November flashed in front of my eyes. My God! Time flies indeed. I couldn’t believe my eyes that I am bound to join my friends who got hitched in the recent years.
I am ready to roll; I guess more or less.
I can’t wait for my sweetheart to be back from his business trip. I have been waiting to have him back here with me and work our way through the first memorable event of our life. Both of us never engaged a wedding planner despite our busy schedule. He is a dedicated E & E engineer whom loves his job and goes beyond his means to get his project accomplished. His heart and soul lies in what he does (Of course I will be his princess priority wise!) As for me, being a molecular biologist, I have never ceased on the learning curve on board and my career is just as demanding as Raj’s one. Even then, we both never fall short to inspire ourselves and come out with a defined plan to make our big day a memorable and outstanding as we always dreamt off. Once when my bestie asked me, “So who is your wedding planner”? I just gave a smile and quirk, “It’s me and my Raj!” I was his priority in his life and when it comes to planning our big day, he prefers to give me the exclusive rights to make selections since he says, it is a woman's greatest dream of her life to have a fairytale wedding come true..In that sense I am lucky! So I get my way most of the time..He,he,he and he says my taste is always the best! So be it!
Out of blue, he received a call from his boss in US to embark on his product development in his HQ in Virginia and Arizona (Intel) on 3 weeks trip to the 2 places. He was alarmed since our engagement was around the corner and lots of preparation work to be done. I assured him things will be fine since it is only engagement and most of it will be taken care by my side and his family will make ends meet with their part during his absence. I encouraged him to go for his business trip which is what he loves doing the most! Sure enough, the mere thought of not seeing him for 3 weeks was difficult for me but now it has stretched to almost a month. I get to hear his voice every week once when he calls me and us text each other via FB, and hotmail which keeps us connected. And finally, Paul (his boss) understands Raj’s effort and dedication in his work during his moment of his life. Paul is a wonderful boss for Raj who understands him well and promised not to hold him back till the eleventh hour! I appreciate it Paul! And we hope to have Paul celebrate both our happiness on our big day.
Which means, my other-half will be home in a weeks’ time, so do my aunt from abroad! My aunt and uncle is heading back home on the 15th of this month from Swiss just to be with me and the rest of my family for the most biggest and fun moment of the family. It has been sometime since my family witness a wedding in the family circle and this is coming after a long time and the excitement for a celebration is elevated. There is so much of ideas for celebration before and after the event: BBQ, wine toasting (drinking splurge!), and gathering! It looks the much anticipated event will turn up well. I am looking forward for it even though I started feeling edgy.
November already
Ohh la la!
Venture out in the crisp air
Excitement soars high from a big celebration coming up
Many things to be thankful for
Best buds at the top of the list!
Everybody starts to be anxious
Remember to slow down and breathe
May November be a month filled with happiness, good health and wealth?
Two weeks until D-day!
