Most couples plan their wedding carefully for like, a year or more. Of course weddings take very meticulous planning-- from bookings of a good wedding planner, venue, food, entourage, flowers, cakes, etc, and not to mention bookings for the church where you are planning to wed and the papers you have to process, so it will really take very long just to make your most special day happen successfully. Especially when you are born Catholic, everything should be in proper order and you will always follow the rules/traditions of the Sacrament of Matrimony.
But in my case, everything is rushed. Would you believe my wedding only takes 2 months to prepare? Because of a constant change of plans, what happens to be a civil wedding turned out to be a church wedding.
Yes, it sounds unbelievable and terrifying. Especially when you don't like rushed things for so many reasons, like you're not ready yet because you're still physically and emotionally stressed from motherhood, and you're not really sure what will happen next because we know rushed things sometimes end up to failure. It's even more scary because me and my partner haven't think about marriage yet at that time, we're still on the process of "saving" for the future first, marriage only takes place on the later part when we're ready and stable. But for the sake of strict religious beliefs from the majority of my family, we are being "encouraged" to wed because it is the right thing to do in God's law, and to make our child legitimate.
Of course there's nothing me and my partner can do anything about it. It's still for the sake of our only child.
So the photos below are some of the outcome for the 2-month-preparation wedding. It's just a simple wedding with a very limited budget, so I chose carefully some of the most important details from the wedding because I also care about it too, like choosing an affordable but good photographer and a dessert table so that it looks decent in pictures, at least. Although I fairly believe in quality over quantity, I can still say it's a look-for-less-kind of wedding. At least all our guests left the event in full stomach, and I also receive good feedbacks after the event. :-)
And I'm thankful to everyone who cooperated to make this event possible. :) Credits at the bottom of the page (Read more), including the links of their Facebook.
