Wedding Season

When people blog about weddings, it's therefore officially wedding season. The time when doe eyed couples decide to tie the knot and have a party to celebrate the nuptials..

Nut & Co managed to throw one such party in 4 DAYS!!! What would normally take 4 months.

I know, it's taking me that long. Just got both dresses made, one is all done, the other after Saturday's fitting, will have to be taken in. Bh's are done, so he's pretty much set.

The venue was chosen a loooong time ago, since it's MIL's favourite place and we finally booked the place, etc,etc,etc...but now, come the headache of the cards. Thankfully the cards the restaurant provides is decent, so we won't be printing extra and the one for the church, fits into the dinner invite nicely ( I hope).

Also, BFC (that wonderful girl) and LHDS came up with a lovely design for said church invites, complete with monogram..Muaks guys! Now all we have to do is print the thing, then mail em..or send them by hand. ( Hmm..which means calling up people I haven't seen in a loooong while). Therein lies the next problem of the guest list. On our advantage, we can only have 40 tables and 2/3 of which go to the parents, so..heh..do the math.

The church..check. Luckily we have Bh's cousin who is a Pastor and has agreed to bless our marriage. So, nice, family and friends affair planned out, with very little protocol ( I think) and a more relaxed shebang ( I hope). Nothing elaborate, which is what we want anyway.

Photo's have done.. the pre-requisite "wedding/bridal" pics..with one more session to go. We decided on both outdoor adventures as it seemed less boring, but the timing has been a problem. What with the rain in spai...kl falling mainly on the plai..kl almost everyday. And of course there was cheng beng..cannot take picture la, otherwise got "extra's" in there all how?

The next shoot will be meaningful for us, cos' it would be done where we both went to school..strangely we didn't meet there. Would be great if we could take pics where we actually met, but then, there definitely will be "extra's"..more likely in the shape, size and look of Shades..heh.

Next on the list..liquor..and lots of it. Have managed to recruit all family members flying in or out to purchase the required stuff, duty free..but there is still the wine to be taken care of. In need of a good contact for decent, cheap stuff. Hey, it's for guests who wanna get drunk, I'm not spending money on ice wine for that.


I guess that leaves the dinner itinerary..that's gonna be a headache. Still planning, still trying to figure out what to do..slide shows, some impromptu presentations..I dunno. But definitely NO KARAOKE. BH and I are very adamant on that one. The other thing we want is our own song choice. MIL wants soft, soothing light and easy tunes. But Bh and I are more ermm..Capitol Fm/Fly fm soft rock fans..am thinking Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and a medley of soft rock..maybe try to slip this by MIL..

Yet to finalise on make up, flowers, best man and anything else that's slipped my mind.

Nut..4 months is actually rather short. For most people, planning takes a year..but I guess for you guys, can super speed up..hehehe.

Shades, anything, as long as you're not in drag! Also, we'd have to audition you first..am thinking Karynn has a lovely voice, no?
Hehehehe..
Your stalkers missed you yesterday
