I guess it was since my wedding.
A wedding diner with over hundred unknown relatives from both sides and friends of friends of friends will make you go nuts. Actually it makes you FAT.
Don't get me wrong, I love food/fine dining and making delicious food for all my life. But stress makes you eat like an elephant.
I always wanted to have a simple wedding ceremony and go on honeymoon for halve year or so, play Jane and Tarzan in the tree house somewhere in Brazil?
Well, guess what!?!? when reality meets parents, things are not in your control anymore.
I am not, was not a psycho bride. At least I try not to be one of those bride-zilla. I try to keep one eye open and the other one closed, that will make life go easier. Until mother in law, family in law got involved, I've had it. I closed both eyes to prevent war.
Sometimes, once in the lifetime, you need to be a puppet. A moment like that. It makes your life much easier.
Note: If you close both eyes, they will think you love your other halve deeply and willing to do everything for him.
Don't ask me what I say that day? how many hands I hold? what I eat/drink? I hardly remember a thing.
I saw my beautiful wedding after the pictures come out. It was a beautifully crowded day.
So, good luck to all those just falling in love ones and the ones who decide to get married soon.
Most funny stuff is all those in law relatives tells you to eat less, to be thin(very Asian). I was like because all of those stress that you guys bring us, I eat like a elephant(not all their fault of course) and now U are telling me that I am fat? I need to lost my weight or eat less. Are u guys out of your *bleep**mind?
I am invite you to celebrate with us, not to insult us? Are you that drunk?
Blablabla...
It's like you decide to make a movie, you pay, other people write the script, you have to play the roles and they are going to judge you whether you are a good actress or not. They make people think that they decide everything and it's their party.
I am glad the whole thing is over. No movie, no judgmental people's, it's back to normal, it's just two of us. Back to simple life.
We moved at the end of January to our new place. I thought finally we can be relaxed and try to relax after the wedding diner.
Mid January, my aunt called me to tell me that her daughter in NY is coming over to visit us for a few weeks.
OMG...No, resting.
After we brought her to the airport for the 3rd time, finally. I think we were truly relieved that this time, it's for real.
I didn't want to do anything, I was so sick and tired of all that had happened. I wanted to sleep all day long.
