Today, I’m really delighted to receive thank-you emails from brides as well as grooms thanking me how much they have benefitted from my blog.

Initially, I started off this blog just to benefit my other friends who are planning their weddings. It is a common site to share resources.

Then, it became my very own personal blog to share my ups and downs; my inner thoughts; my inner voices. This blog became my avenue to express my feelings, some of them were expressed when I was really down and felt trapped.

Nonetheless, this blog has given me hope and reassurance that we (myself and my wife) were going to plan our wedding smoothly. Minor glitches will happen. We just take things as they came.

Then, many people asked me what is going to happen to my wedding blog after marriage. Some suggested that I post about my life after marriage so wedding couples can have some peeps into where they wil be going after their weddings.

I’m not a guru. We are still considered newly-wed. There are many more years for us to go…maybe another 50 – 60 years…

Even after my wedding, I’m delighted to find my blog really useful to readers who are planning their weddings. They sent me words of thanks, telling me that they spent as much as 1 to 2 hours reading most of the entries.

They also find my blog as a form of inspiration and encouragement for them when they themselves are going through their low period. They even mentioned when they are depressed, they felt better after reading about the turmoils I have gone through in my blog.

I will continue to post as long as I can type.

Without my readers, there won’t be any motivation for me to post. As long as 1 reader is reading, I will continue to update my wedding blog. >.< If you have things to share on your mind and there is no one to share with, you can always share with me and I will be your listening ear.

Hmmmm..interestingly…I have received quite a number of thank-you emails from readers…thanking me on how much help my blog had given them….and how much time and inconvenience they are sparred…

one consoling thing was that after reading my blog, they feel that the mood swings and frustration tumbles they are experiencing are considered normal because they realise many other wedding couples like me and the rest go through it too.

Wedding couples, while planning their wedding, may experience happiness, joy, bliss, delight…and also feelings from the other end of specturms of feelings such as frustration, confusion, anger…even hatred…or even hoplessness…

We always want someone to hear us out and desperately wanting to share our feelings with our close ones…but sometimes, our close ones may not even understand…or don’t even have time to hear us out…

As much as this blog has helped you, I also want my Wedding Blog to benefit new readers and more couples who will be planning their wedding in the future.

I want to provide them an avenue to release their pent-up emotions…or by reading postings of feelings that you will be sharing later…

Answer to Mel:

You are a wonderful sister….Your sister is very lucky to have you to help.

Depend on your budget.

Go to Tanjong pagar road to go in and ask…

Tell them “the wedding is in 2 years’ time”. Cos the sales staff are very persuasive and pushy.

Window shop around and have a feel what the packages cover.

I’m sure there will be more wedding shows coming. Keep a look out from newspapers, websites and bridal magazines.
