Every gal dreams of hitching the perfect guy of their life. Just what is a perfect guy? And does every guy dream of winning a trophy wife all the time as well?
Maybe to me, the only near perfect men to date are Jesus and Gandhi. Both of them share traits that I hope to see in the love of my life - benevolent, yet selfish in his own rights. A man of dignity who can control any situation in a respectable way. He MUST also be a real gentleman with more than basic manners and respect the elderly and takes care of the young.
Now, how about looks? Actually, to not have any basic requirements in looks is absolutely out of this world. Let's face it, we are all humans who love to admire beautiful objects. But somehow women don't seem to ask much about the aesthetic aspects in their man, except perhaps he cannot be shorter than us? And for me, somehow I am attracted to men with small crescent-looking eyes and a charming smile that shows a set of well-maintained pearly-whites. Picture a tall and hunky-looking Korean actor ;-)
Too much to ask for? I'm sure every gal out there has these qualities as their basic criteria of their man.
Meeting my dream guy
It is one of the most wonderful things that have happened to me - meeting G, a.k.a. My dream guy and the sweetest man on earth. To be qualified as my dream guy, he must be one hell of a guy - or at least you think he is ;-)
We've been through a lot, even till the day he popped the question with a 0.3ct diamond solitaire ring from a famous local jeweller, I still did not spare him of an emotional trial (besides, it's such a small diamond!). Come on, it's me, I can't lower my pride to give him my hand easily! Alright, look into the mirror and spare the poor guy, will you? I'm not THE trophy wife whom G should go the extra mile for anyway, so how can I ask for more? Ok, it's my way of self-denial towards the wonderful things that were starting to emerge in front of me and also a final test he had to pass. I just simply CANNOT believe someone is asking me to marry him!
Wedding planning was a blur because we did not have much time juggling among work, home renovation and wedding - a typical Singaporean matrimony procedure. Moreover, my work schedule was a hectic one that required attention day and night, weekday and weekend. Though hasty, being in the marketing profession had helped me to overcome the challenges faced during our wedding planning and also trained my eye to leave no stone unturned, as much as possible. Coupled with the joy of planning for my own wedding and the anxiety of walking down the aisle with my loved one, i enjoyed every moment despite the tiredness.

If you ask me about the 3 things i loved about my wedding, i would say I simply adore my wedding gown (not the one in the pic above), the planning process and my beloved BFFs and guests. My gown - not because it's in a unique pale champagne colour or it's specially designed, but the design idea came from me! Everyone raved about how elegant and classy it looked on me - the style that i wanted all along. Sorry, it's the first time i'm walking down the aisle in a wedding gown with my own design, naturally, i have to boast about it ;-)

The morning ceremony wasn't an elaborate one although how i wished it had been more traditional with me wearing the "kua". Can you imagine my hub-to-be actually forgot to bring the flower bouquet along to receive his bride? :-( Had we added in the traditional procedure, he might forget more things. Hence we decided to forgo the idea since we had planned a solemnization ceremony together with the wedding banquet.
