My fiancée and me are moving forward and taking our relationship to the next level. We are now planning to get married and we are now in the wedding planning stage.
There were so many things to do for the wedding.
The whole thing starts with visiting a "consultant" (or advisor if you like) to help us select a suitable date for our big day. We visited this "consultant" and on the 14th of March 2011, he gave us a list of dates which was suitable for us to get married.
We then took the dates and given to my fiancée's dad which double check and selected a date which was "Best" for us to be our wedding day. We decided the date to be on the 13th of December 2011 and it falls on a Tuesday. If you look at the date carefully, it was 13.12.11 in sequence. Nice date!! Kinda easy to remember... LOL!!
After knowing our date, we went on looking for a restaurant / venue to hold our wedding dinner. We have shortlisted a few and as I am typing this update, we are waiting for a confirmation from a restaurant to see if we can use their ballroom. Its in a prestigious golf and country club. No, I am not a member of this club as I don't play golf. It was recommended by my fiancée's colleague which only then we found out that this restaurant is open for public for wedding and functions which non-member can book.
Next, we went around shopping for the wedding / bridal shops. We started the 'screening' process about 2 weeks ago by going to a small wedding fair in a mall and last Friday, we went to 2 shops which was recommended by fiancée's friend. We both agreed from the 2 shops we visited on Friday evening to shortlist one shop and yesterday we went to a different side of town to survey for more.
We went to one yesterday which the discussion started fine until we visited their wedding dress collection. We both were really not satisfied with the way shop organize. There were so many brides-to-be trying / fitting dresses at the same time and kinda give me a feeling like we were in some kind of warehouse sale or something. We both were not comfortable with it after the visit and cut short the discussion and walk out. Almost immediately we decided that we will go back to the last shop we visited on Friday and sign up their package. Unfortunately, due to some very demanding customer's request came in yesterday, I have to go to the office to do some work and my fiancee have gone to the bridal shop to book for our photograph session and pay the deposit.
Yesterday (29th March 2011 - Tuesday) I have to travel again and this time to meet the demanding customer in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Again, I have to seek the assistance of my fiancée to go to the restaurant we agree upon to pay the deposit and view the place. We are planning our wedding dinner to be held in a golf and country resort utilizing their Ballroom 1 and 2 as we are looking approximately 40 tables in the join wedding dinner. We have decided the wedding dinner to be on the 16th of December 2011 (Friday) the very same week as our wedding day.
Stay tune as I am sure I will update further on the wedding...
