Actress Bua Sets Wedding Date For Year-End

Actress Bua Nalinthip has set her wedding date for late this year and praised her fiancé for being extremely thoughtful. She wants to enjoy married life first and is not rushing to have children, revealing why she chose him. After becoming an engaged woman in the public eye, actress Bua Nalinthip recently appeared at a press conference to launch the series "Rak" at Major Cineplex Sukhumvit (Ekamai) theater, where she updated fans on her wedding date, which is expected to be sometime late this year, and discussed her preparations for becoming a bride.

How far along are the wedding preparations? "We're getting close now (laughs), but I still think it'll probably be around late this year. Please stay tuned," she said.

How far have the preparations progressed? "About halfway there. Right now we're trying on dresses. I just got back from Vietnam and secretly tried on some dresses there."

Are the dresses imported? "We're still looking at when to use them."

Vietnamese wedding dresses must be quite extravagant, right? "Yes, they have such trendy designs. We're still deciding and haven't confirmed anything yet."

What style does Bua want? "Actually, I prefer keeping it simple, easy, and comfortable—minimal style. I don't want something overly elaborate with a big puffy skirt."

But between the marriage proposal and preparing to be a bride, which was more exciting? "The proposal felt thrilling, but now I'm starting to feel stressed (laughs). It's worrying because I'm afraid of how things will turn out."

How do you two discuss the wedding preparations? "We consult about everything."

Who makes the final decisions? "We decide together. When we go dress shopping, he comes along too. He helps us decide what he likes."

Are you tired as a bride-to-be now? "I am tired. The most exhausting part is all the tiny details—choosing venues, picking dresses. We've had some minor disagreements, though not serious ones. But there's a lot to handle."

When you disagree, who gives in? "He does. It's pretty much settled (smiles)."

Does he back down during disagreements? "No, we discuss things logically."

What's your relationship like? What kind of couple are you? "Actually, at first I felt we were complete opposites in many ways. I wasn't sure if we'd get along, but once we started talking, it just clicked easily. He's a sweet person, and I appreciate his consistency. He takes good care of me."

Is your boyfriend very open-minded about the entertainment industry? "Yes, he understands."

Is it all new for him? How did he react to the news breaking and being introduced to the public? "He was shy about it. He became 'the second male lead' and got teased for it. At his office, they teased him too."

How do you comfort him about becoming the 'second male lead'? "I didn't comfort him much. He's fine with it."

Do your friends say anything about what you should do after marriage—whether you should retire or take a break? "No, after marriage I'll stay the same. I'll keep working as I have been. Right now we're also planning on setting up a home."

Are you working on a new house? "We're just starting that."

Will that timing work with your work schedule? "I think it might not be finished in time, but we're not rushing anyway. I feel the house should come together gradually. I don't want to force anything."

Are you living together now? "Every day."

Now that you're about to change your status from girlfriend to fiancée, are you getting used to it? "Not yet (laughs). I still introduce him as my boyfriend or fiancé. It feels embarrassing."

Are you preparing yourself? You used to live alone, and now you'll wake up to see him every day? "Actually, I don't think it's that dramatic. For me, he feels more like someone who completes me. I don't feel like someone is invading my life."

What made you fall for him? "Me? I'm beautiful like this, I'm an actress! (laughs) But honestly, we just clicked when we talked. It's like we found a comfortable space together."
