January 2nd, 2007

My anticipation and excitement toward the wedding had built up as the big day was getting closer.  I didn’t feel anything until maybe about 5 days before the wedding, that morning I woke up on Christmas day and thought to myself  “OMG, I’m getting married in 5 days!”. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good feeling though…

My family rented a 2 bedroom serviced apartment and Megan (one of my bridesmaids) and I stayed there the night before the wedding. It was really nice to have some time alone with my best friend and just chilled out.

 

The next morning by 9.30 everyone was there, all of my family, the bridesmaids and soon followed by the hairdresser, photographer, videographer, and the bouquets.

As I and my 2 best friends are beauty therapists, we have the advantage of doing our own make-up. We even had the time to do another 2 of my family members 😛

We were doing very well and were right on time. As I put on my dress, the jewelleries, the tiara, the shoes, I truly felt like a princess from a fairy tale.

 

Our priest mentioned that brides are usually always late and he asked that if we could be at the church at 2.05PM the latest. What do you know? We got there 5 minutes early at exactly 2PM. I became really nervous when I was in the car, I started to get butterflies in my stomach, worried that I might trip over or wouldn’t remember what I was suppose to say. As I was walking down the aisle with my arm linked to my dad’s, behind my veil I saw Saj looking at me slowly walking towards him; all of the sudden my anxiety started to disappear and I felt content. My dad then put my hand in Sajith’s and that’s when I knew everything is going to be alright…  I was happy that everything went so well and no, I did not trip over and I said the vows clearly and correctly!

To me, that was the hardest part of the day, having hundreds of people standing and staring at you for a good 5 minutes. After that was the fun part, photo shooting, toasting, hanging out with our amazing bridal party and the reception.

  

Approximately an hour before midnight, I changed from my dress into this beautiful Sari that Sajith’s mom bought for me. It was a very emotional moment when we had to say farewell to everyone. For those of you who are getting married soon, my advise to you is to enjoy every minute of your day as everything will happen so fast, and before you know it, it was time to say goodbye.

 

I can truly say that it was the happiest day of my life; I am extremely blessed to have so many family and friends who love and support us unconditionally. The memories of that day will always be with me for the rest of my life.  It was a beautiful day…
