Worries about our Destination Wedding

OMB

Not a single invitation was sent for our destination wedding, not for anything but only because we did not want to impose. It would be a very large imposition if we would require friends and relatives to travel to the quickie wedding destination in the US, Las Vegas. We were prepared not to have witnesses, only the bride, the groom, the bridesmaid, and the best man. And our wedding should be fun, not stressful. Fewer guests, less stress.
So if you didn’t receive an invitation to our wedding anniversary, don’t feel bad, you are not alone. Hindi ka nag-iisa.

My daughter said she’s excited. She asked me if I am excited. I am actually worried about my gown.
I cut the hem by two inches because it’s too long and I am too short.

I might step on it and trip. I also don’t intend to wear high heels.

I want to look voluptuous so I checked out some big cups to fill in the gaps. Dapat maumbok para seksi at siksik. The rule is your breasts must be 10 inches bigger than your waist or your waist must be smaller by 10 inches than your breast. Since I cannot decrease the size of my waist anymore, I’ll just increase the size of my breasts by wearing dambuhalang bra. I don’t have a handbag that matches my gown so these bras can also serve as my hidden pockets.

Selfies are also not allowed inside the chapel. I am worried we wouldn’t have photos. Too much worrying.

I bought tons of make-up brushes, eye pencils, eyebrow liners, and eyelash extensions. I also bought a make-up foundation thinking that I will just do my make-up. But today I changed my mind. I booked an appointment with a make-up artist named Kimberly who claims she has a 15-year experience. I forgot to ask if her experience is in applying makeup on other people or on herself.

My stomach struts out so I am not excited to go out wearing a gown.  A beautiful gown that would definitely look a lot more beautiful on the reigning Miss Universe, Catriona Gray. I worry about how on earth would I be able to breathe in for 30 minutes during the ceremony.

I went to JC Penny to look for stomach girdle.  And daming klase ang hirap pumili.  Eto para naman akong magbibisikleta. 

Eto, but there is no size medium. I tried to put on the size small but I couldn’t stretch it even for a few centimeters. It snapped and fell to the ground.  Pag super sikip,  the fats form at the back, below the shoulders.  Parang may dede sa likod.  Maybe that’s sexier,  to have four boobs, two in front, and two at the back.

I tried on the size medium. Nahingal na ako hindi ko pa maisara. It should be tight otherwise it will not serve its purpose pero ang sikip naman nito. If I get the large, walang silbi, hindi naman lumiit ang tyan ko.

I shouldn’t worry about these things. I will be the only one fretting about how I would look like. My husband and children wouldn’t care. Our wedding is at 4 pm and dinner at 6 pm. Honeymoon is at 10 pm. Before I could take my girdle off, my husband would be snoring.

Surviving 35 years of marriage is really something. There were countless times when we wanted to walk out from each other. We wanted to strangle each other. But miraculously we’re still here together, sharing laughs too and some common dreams. Edmund and I both share in the credit. We both have earned it. One cannot do it without the other.
The challenges, sacrifices, patience, understanding, the loving and the caring. It was one heck of a journey. Reaching 35 years is one good reason to celebrate.

  8. Congrats, Auntie Annie and Uncle Edmund! Thank you for being a model of love and friendship, courage and determination. Here is an excerpt from one of our favorite wedding passages:

    “The key to love is inside us all …
    It takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients
    that will take you to its threshold;
    it is the continual learning process that demands a lot of work …
    but the rewards are more than worth the effort.”

    Happy Anniversary!
    Jun-Jun and Family
