Gary & Christine Wedding Journal

for those of you who are also planning to get married, should start looking at wedding magazines and/or websites to get ideas on when you want to have your wedding, where to have it, how to go about doing it. trust me… don’t try leaving everything till the very last minute.

and as many ideas that you get from these resources, please don’t try to mix and match everything… think of your theme, colour and design. also, think of how you want your wedding to be. yes, other people’s opinions matter. do listen… but only follow if you think it suits you. and try to say “no” tactfully. after all, it’s your wedding you’re planning….

when people offer their assistance, do try to find ways to allow them to help… this is also known as delegation. but, give them areas that will help them shine and feel important… not in lowly places. this will also allow people to feel that they’re part of your wedding and be merry. but, it really all boils down to people management. however, i’m glad to have friends like joanne, janie, jacey, pr. joshua tan and my uncle kok wing to offer their assistance and kindness for my wedding…. God has truly blessed us with wonderful persons. thank you…

my maid of honour aka my only sister is having trouble looking for her bridesmaid dress. she needs something a little below knee length and in cream colour because she needs to colour coordinate with my wedding gowns.

so, any ideas of where to find her dress with a capital “D”?

if you’ve been checking our blog and wonder why is it that my entries are so short and even missing days, the reasons are as follows:

- not much planning left to do. but, will definitely have more next month as august 2005 will be the “preparation month” for our wedding photo shoot. when? i’m not telling because we don’t want funny characters coming to the studio and trying to make us smile or laugh. we’re not babies, you know.

- i’m now trying to build my own website which i hope will last till time immemorial. still am not sure whether it’ll work out or not. so, my time spent on building the website has left me with not much time with the blog.

yesterday, i was going through the guests list for the thousandth time. and i’ll soon need actual names instead of “2nd aunt”, “4th uncle”, “first cousin” and etc. and also, real names and not nicknames of friends…. i mean, we can’t be writing on our invitation cards, “ms. so poh”.

yesterday, after much persuasion, Himself’s cousin has decided to take on the role of Best Man. phew! i thought this blog is going to go forever with, “to be announced”. hahaha!
