wedding ring pillow
Many of the brides ‘graduated’ as an almost expert in wedding planning after their own weddings were over.
I didn’t become one expert, since my wedding was really simplified and casual. I won’t know the nitty gritty details of the Chinese traditions, since I had omitted most of them (or did I follow any at all?)
I just created a series of ring pillows for my shop. While doing so, I did wished that I had that for my wedding.
It’s interesting and memorable to have a nice ring pillow. After the ceremony is over, we can keep the pillow as decoration. The ring exchange is such an important moment, it would be so lovely to keep the pillow which will constantly remind us of that moment when vows, and pledge of love was exchanged.
I have a rather different concept towards wedding. As much as I may wish to splurge the budget on the wedding feast, but I guess, for me, it’s what that may leave behind for me that mattered.
I wouldn’t mind spending a little more for actual day photographer, he has to be good enough to capture precious moments (I really don’t fancy studio takes, guess we are not so wonderful with poses, I prefer impromptu candid takes, which shows the real actions); I would also spend on favors, because that is what people get to keep; I would spend on ring pillows, because I get to keep them too.
I didn’t spend a great deal on the wedding dress, maybe because I had always dream for a simple dress. I wanted to have a dress that I was completely comfortable in, and a timeless piece is amazingly what turns out to be the simplest. Haven’t we smirk silently when we saw someone’s exaggerated up-to-date ‘trendy’ bridal dress in the photos, years later? We would think to ourselves, ‘wow.. old school.. so yesterday.’ Indeed, it was very yesterday, but do we really need to look out-dated in years to come?
Year end is crazy for me, so is it for Mike. Soon after Christmas Santa rides away, we will be celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary, how time flies. Can’t believe we are married for nearly 2 years.
