MY WEDDING,THE COUNTDOWN

MY WEDDING, THE COUNTDOWN

It was Mr $ Mrs Oyewole's wedding anniversary, the couples want the wedding anniversary to be organized like a wedding reception.

 Talking with the couples, I found out their wedding reception a year back was nothing to talk about so they want everything as it is in a wedding reception to  me, I guess it should be called I DO OVER not a wedding anniversary. On a long chat with the couples, they both express their state of mind 2weeks to their wedding which is the rise for this topic :- MY WEDDING-THE COUNTDOWN

 I'm a banker and my husband works with a law firm, we are both given 3weeks leave for our wedding,     2weeks before the wedding and 1week after the wedding.

So we have 2weeks to plan our wedding without a professional wedding planner, if you care to know we refused to hired a wedding planner because we belief we can handle it.

 Hmmmmmmm as the bride trust on my mind was a fight of phenomenon on how Things would turn out on the D-DAY.

As the groom I have got a myriad of things on my mind. Emotionally, physically, mentally I was down.

DAY 13 :- we went for shopping

DAY 12 :- I called my sister to help get caterer and I also called my friend to help get musical band. DAY 11 :- we both drive inside out of Lekki in search of a cake baker and makeup artist. we booked for cake, No makeup artist yet.

DAY 10 $ 9 :- extra shopping days

 DAY 8 :- we booked for decoration, tents' chairs and tables.

DAY 7 :- I finally got a makeup artist through a friend on phone conversation.

DAY 6 :- we booked the caterer and also booked for drinks

DAY 5 :- I got a call from Eric that he couldn't get a musical band cause they have been booked and he introduced a D.J to Me on phone and he booked me down.

 DAY 4 :- it was an extra shopping day and after that we went for counseling in church and after the counseling session we waited for the parish pastor. We left the church around 6PM.

DAY 3 :- I woke up not feeling strong, my dad drove me to hospital, the doctor diagnosed that I needed rest and I was hospitalized for 30hrs,I couldn't refuse that with my dad on standby, I called my fiancé and update him. I also felt down hearing such news so I rushed to the hospital and spend my day there.

 DAY 2 :- a day to our wedding, I got home around 1PM,everything was going on as expected.

 DAY 1 :- the D-DAY,6am we realized everything was wrong, we forgot to hire a photographer,

the Makeup artist was an amateur makeup artist,    we finally got a freelance photographer which we couldn't locate after the wedding, D DJ arrived at the venue around 1pm.

Now the wedding is over, 2days after the wedding no one called us, no congratulation SMS, so we decided to call family and friends to say Hi, but all we could get is a sad stories of our wedding due to falling of tents caused a by heavy rainfall and how most guests went home without a taste of food, cake, E.T.C. That is how we spend 2weeks to our  wedding countdown without a wedding planner, I wish I realize the purpose of a wedding planner before our wedding.
