Time Off…I’m Getting Married!!!

Time Off…I’m Getting Married!!!

Ngoc Nguyen Lay

Yes, sounds crazy but I will be taking time off  to be a Bride! For the first time since the start of Skybox (5 years ago), I will be taking a few weeks off.  I can’t count the times that I have planned and coordinated one the most amazing days in other peoples lives and now it’s my turn. Honestly…feels a bit strange. I’m taking time off because it’s important for me to spend time with my family and friends as they are here to celebrate with us…and also the time off will be for the honeymoon that Albert has planned for us too

In a few days I will marry the most amazing man and I couldn’t be happier. As I write this post, I started to feel overwhelmed by emotions. Not really from the stress or anxiety of the wedding or all the details still left to finish. I’m overwhelmed by all the love and joy I feel from everyone. We received so much support through our relationship, and now for our wedding day, and as we start our marriage. I started to feel overflowing with care and excitement. Almost like a facet overflowing with friends and family straight into my heart. (Hahaha…bit cheesy but I can’t find the right words to describe it all).  I couldn’t help but to feel overwhelmed by all of this. I come from a very big family: I have over 30 first cousins…Yes over 30 cousins! Having a intimate wedding was not in the plan (nor was it even possible). As everyone is here with me, I really couldn’t imagine it any other way. Can’t say it has been easy but I’m sure it’ll feel worth it in a few days.

I love you Albert…can’t wait to be your wifey!
