Chinese New Year just passed, and it was both a boon and bane to wedding couples.
Remember the times when you were unattached, and people kept asking you when you were getting married? Then when you got attached, and more people asked when you were getting married?
Well, when you've made your wedding announcement, things are very much different during Chinese New year. For one, the aunties are more excitable and chatty with a hundred and one things to get excited about. It's like a barrier has been broken and now they can go full scale into the process!
For me, I made use of this time to spread the news to some of the relations that we see less of. Also, this would be a good time to ask your recently-married relatives about the problems they faced, and what you should have to plan for, and stuff that you absolutely must not forget. Of course, your wedding is still your own, and whether you want this custom, or that jewellery, etc, is for you (and to some extent, your parents) to decide.
During this period, even your wedding set at the end of the year would suddenly seem to be taking place next month. Good in a way. Stress is good cos it makes one panic, and panic hopefully gets things done.
In my case, I needed that kick in the bum.
