8 Reasons Why I Blog my Wedding Preps

Quick intro: (because i don't fancy lengthy) I, Diane is a first time blogger, a frustrated writer and most importantly a secluded bride-to-be who has momentary OCD Complex and random brain farts. Mark, the groom-to-be is a man of (very) few words with minimal interest and limited patience on listening to my rants about our wedding. We got engaged on our anniversary at 8 September 2014 (mental note: I will write a separate proposal entry. ktnxbye) and we are set to marry on 8 May 2016. 

I thought of blogging our wedding preps because: 

  1. I have a strong feeling that I will have dementia in the future and I will forget my wedding, the preps and maybe even my husband so this blog should come in handy. But seriously, I have a feeling that I will miss the preps few months after the wedding so this can nurse my relapse, I hope. 
  2. I reside in SG at the moment while my besties, sissies and mom stay in PH. There is Skype and Viber of course but having to repeatedly tell the story to update them is to much of a work.
  3. I just get fed up with the need to sometimes having to delay my excitement until we (my besties, sissies, mom and I) find a convenient time when we can stay online. And I don't think they really enjoy every bit of detail that I tell them so blogging gives them the option to select which topics they want to hear (or read) stories of.  
  4. It's my escape from the stress at work, the pressure on losing weight, or even from total weekend boredom. Writing is therapeutic and so is reading. 
  5. I don't want Mark to be bombarded by my potential daily rants or stories because I assume that the final two months before the wedding will be hectic and it would be too much for him. So I will just write the details and let him take care of budgeting (bless him.)
  6. I find wedding blogs very helpful especially the reviews on suppliers, the pictures, the what-to-expect, etc. I want to help soon-to-be-brides too.
  7. I always wanted to have a journal or diary ever since I learned how to write but I lived in a very small space where privacy is nonexistent. But then I realized why do I need to keep my thoughts private? But the realization came only now. 
  8. I want to be a blogger so this can be a good start. 


Now that I have perhaps established that blogging is a sensible thing to do, let the first blog entry be published!
