Of I Do’s and I Did’s
Yes! I do! I am more than ready to take the plunge!
For the planning of the wedding of my cousin, that is. Hehe.
August 12, 2006 would be the day when Ms. Cardenas, again, my female cousin, hehe, would no longer be called as “Ms.” Such would also be the day when I officially would have already gained an experience in wedding planning with, of course, the help of another female cousin and her beau and soon-to-be fiancé.
Yes. Wedding planning. I’ll be a wedding planner. Okay, right, like JLo. And yet, okay, fine, like JLo but not quite. I swear. I could distinctly recall clearly hearing my male cousin sneering and snorting over the idea in an otherwise choppy overseas call he placed for me for my birthday.
“Kuya, did you really call to greet me a happy birthday or did you just call to hear my squeals of retaliation over your trippings?”
Hell yeah. He spent over six minutes mainly on his former favorite past time (when he was still living with us) of immersing himself in pure delight of hearing/seeing me frown in exasperation, frustration, annoyance, vexation and what-have-you’s.
A colleague made a comment earlier that since I already have a venue (singing, writing and dancing) for venting out my extreme emotions of sensitivity and anger plus any other strong feelings, it’s high time that I have this wedding planning business as an outlet for my mushiness; that singles like me could, one way or another, still enjoy romance sans a partner.
And to set the festive, ehem, wedding planning mood in the air, here’s my initial list of I Do’s and I Did’s:
I did already call the wedding planning seminar I’ll be attending next week. Hmmm… Please not let me be the only one who’s single there. Please let it be mostly and mainly for wedding planners…
I do take the challenge of establishing a wedding planning business.
I did the initial R&D already, mainly for my cousin’s wedding.
I do have the determination of, this time, keeping my business alive and kicking! Hehe.
I did, finally, download (after almost a week of dilly-dallying) the rough draft of the bride and the groom’s wedding programme.
I do have the passion for this type of business, what with my being a hopeless romantic as my foundation. ;p
I did already set a meeting with this cousin of mine who would be helping out in making sure that the bride (our cousin; yeah, hehe, us three girls are all cousins) remains afloat (and not drunk..wahehe..kiddin’ girl).
I do enjoy and am truly excited by the idea of having my own hands make dream weddings a reality.
I did see a future for me in this venture which is why it’s already a go for me!
However….
Though I do love making dream weddings of others come true, I also do fear that someday, I would not be able to turn my own into a reality what with my bad history with the opposite sex…
Could this also already be the start of a frustration turned into disillusion wrongly channelled to an enterprise? I’d hate to know if the answer is a deafening “yes”.
