We are leaving for Japan in nine days..... and getting married in 18 days!
I technically have about 10 days of work till we leave, since I also took on another short consultancy. Yes, I don't know why I am doing this to myself. I cannot easily forgo a job opportunity, since I am forever traumatized by the long and painful job hunting period after finishing the graduate school.
In short, it is extremely hectic. I am juggling two jobs, a baby and coordinating with two nannies at a moment. M.FR is extremely busy. His staff just tripled in numbers in the last few weeks, and considering his job, it's a crazy timing to be away for two weeks...
It will be also really busy once we are back in Japan. I still do not know what I am wearing! We have one week before all the guests arrive to tie up the loose ends and get ready.
It's the first time
- my family and M.FR family meet. I am meeting his aunt for the first time too. I am also meeting my sister's husband for the first time.
- Both sides of the family (except my mother) to meet TR.
- Many friends are coming to Japan for the first time.
- First time when both me and M.FR are seriously engaged in something that is called "ceremony." M.FR skipped all his graduation ceremonies. I also didn't attend my graduate school graduation and even "seijin shiki" (coming of age ceremony- big deal) in Japan.
We are extremely excited that we get to introduce TR to our family and friends. TR gets to experience Japan. And not to forget that we are getting married, which seemed like a lost cause at some point of my life. However, it's easy to imagine the level of anxiety and discomfort.
This will be a hardly a holiday, but it will be nice to be away and in Japan, as we have not gone anywhere these days!!
