The Day After

First day after the proposal!!! I feel different, complete somehow. Psyche! Nothing much has changed, except that, I can't stop singing. Woke up this morning to no light as usual yet that didn't bother me as much usual. So maybe something is different. It didn't last though. By the time I figured out that I didn't have a clue where to start planning this wedding from, I was hyperventilating. Okay, maybe that's too dramatic but I was somewhat scared. See, I always dreamt that my wedding would be a resounding success but I never thought about how I would make that dream come true. Now here I am, with a wedding and no idea where to start.

Oh did I mention that when I called Uche to vent, he told me “I'm fine with whatever you decide hun'. That one is no help at all. I don't even know why I bothered!!! Mscheww.So I'll make a list; pretty sure I'll forgot some things but I intend to start dealing with them one by one. I'm not really sure that's how it works but I've got nothing to lose right?

LIST

Outfits for the entire bridal party: traditional and white

Venue: caterers, decorations, cakes.

People: bridal party, guests, officiating minister, sponsors, fathers of the day etc.

Convoy

Security

Invitation cards.

It looks incomplete. Why does it feel like a lot is missing?

Meanwhile, my sister just came in to tell me she heard my mother making arrangements on the phone. I can already imagine who she is calling. She wouldn't want the world to miss her first daughter's wedding. Her entire village is related to her, let's not add her relations across the borders, colleagues or her friends. Then there's my father's side of the family, 21 siblings, their own families, friends and relatives. Uche's side is just as large. This is in addition to our own friends oh!

I'm already tired. Can we just elope? I'm going to call Uche and ask him.
