Cowboy Caleb the liberal arts, grown-up stuff & random mischief

Ugggghhhhh….

4 more days till my wedding.

My cousin informs me that the final week is the worst. Tensions run high. Couples fight due to last minute jitters brought on by the immense logisctics and the impending sense of a huge change in life.

I am having nightmares while I sleep. This recurring dream where I stand in my bride’s house with all my friends and family, but we’re totally clueluess about what to do next while my bride remains locked up in her room.

My head hurts. I am having a nervous breakdown.

No worries, as long as you have a good best man and good planning, he screw ups will straighten themselves out as the day progresses. :) Congratulations and all the best.

Hi caleb, I just got married in Nov 05. Rem to delegate ALL tasks to your helpers. You will enjoy the day which will be the most memorable day of your life. :)

Just remember the marriage is much more important than the wedding…many new couples forget that.

ENJOY!

You’re getting married the same day as my very good friend!!!

Gambate! I’m sure things will turn out very fine cos… it always does… Just make sure your brothers are up for the ‘torture’ sessions them sistas are gonna inflict.

One tip though: Have an early night before the wedding. Drink lotsa water before you sleep. And remember to rehydrate whenever you have the chance during the day (get your best man or whoever’s following you to remind you). Else you’ll fatigue easily and may not last the day… or… night :-)

!!! Drink too much water the night before will end up with puffy eyes! Or does that only happen to women? :P But he’ll need water to prevent bad hangover, expect lotsa boozing hor!

Things will always turn out fine… Just make provisions for the worst things that can happen (in no particular order) like a wardrobe malfunction, not enough food for the guests, bride/groom decide to chicken out, or total wrong address and time provided!!!

If all of these are secured, you basically have nothing to worry about. :P

Most impt… ANG BAOs.. you must standby lots of ang baos… Got open door AB, the sisters AB, Brothers AB, Driver AB, lots n lots…

It’s a day of celebration and joy for another new chapter in life. Don’t fret too much, yea?

Well, in the week leading up to my wedding, I dreamt that I was standing at the altar in various states of undress wondering why I hadn’t bought the suit when Ondine had told me to. The last dream, I was almost fully dressed except that I had forgotten my dress shoes and had sneakers on. :P

Don’t fret it man…It’s always like that.

hey there. congratulations!! don’t break down!!! it’s the most fun part of the wedding!! savor this week!

Honestly, You shdlnt worry so much about the wedding/marriage. you shld see it separately. Wedding is just a process.. an event.. Just do it.. make parents happy make relatives happy and get drunk after. there will be minor mistakes here and there during the weddint, thats fine.. you will have a whole life time together to make it up to each other..

CHILL!

er… not too drunk please….
i forgot it’s you HAHAHAHAAH

And yes, marriage is starting life anew.. but its gonna be all good. Why worry about the bad stuff before it happens?! all the changes will be good changes.. have u ever thought of it that way?

dude, have faith in your brothers, on the actual day, if anything doesnt go the way it’s planned, tell them and let them settle for you. That’s what having brothers(for groom) and sisters(for bride) is for. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Take it easy.. Easy does it… Dont be too nervous.. just go with the flow…. Dont drink too much water the night before cos you will look puffy the next day. Try to get some sleep. Prepare lots of Ang Bao for the bride side of the family especially the kids…

You wil be fine…just remember that it is your day too! HOLLA!

No lah. The last few days was not that bad… at least for me. But try to delegate all the tasks to your “兄弟” so that you can try to relax as much as you can. Trust me, that day itself will be tensed enough and will be over in a blink. Leave all the coordination to your trusted buddies.

All the best wishes!

i remembered my wedding.

told my mum i wanna a simple marriage at Fort Canning. She promptly got herself admitted to NUH ICU prompting my father to comment her end is near, recovered in a few days time and commenting what i had done to her.

oh! so she got her way planning a grand wedding for me. I just need to turn up and pay for it, planning all done by the wife and mine parents.

he he, why dont you elope to Las Vegas?

One piece of advice: Get a friend who’s a locksmith. Or hire one. Then you don’t need to do all those stuff that her friends want you to do. Just ask the locksmith to open the door/gate for you.
