I'm getting married.
Just a year ago, Zhaowei popped the question in Prague.
We didn't do anything for the longest time, before something clicked and I was like, "shouldn't we be planning a wedding?"
The process was slow going, as we struggled to complete one task per weekend and yet, not forget to spend time as a couple.
In some sense, I've not really thought about what getting married means. There's still the official wedding ceremony in March. Today is merely the legal proceeding to satisfy the Singapore court.
So I'm married, but not quite.
And even after the March wedding, we won't be starting a life together. Because we have no home. You read that right - we aren't going to stay together.
We're still in queue for a BTO flat, but the situation could change in the near future. Everything is in limbo.
Some people think it's weird, others sympathize and have been in a similar situation.
So how does one grow up and meet the next milestone in life, when things are pretty much status quo?
After all the flowers have wilted and the gorgeous gown returned, I'll still be going home to the home I've known my whole life. I'll still see my husband/other half once a week as there's no space or option of moving into one house.
Will my life have changed in any real sense, aside from wearing a ring and ticking the married box?
Ok, I'm just freaking out a little. It's really here. I need to concentrate on the main thing - which is tying myself in every possible way to the love of my life. (Omg did I just quote Twilight????? I must really be freaking out!)
