The whole wedding thing is moving soooo fast, I feel like I need to put the whole experience down in words and pictures before it all happens and ends in a wink!
Both of us originally wanted our wedding to happen earliest in the first quarter of 2013. We would have preferred to settle for a convenient date but parents being parents, we were given an auspicious date to abide to.
And it's really really soon. Read: END OF 2012
So before we know it, the preparation for the wedding went into full swing.
Thankfully, we managed to settle a number of items over the past 2 mths.
We booked out pre-wedding shoot with a Korea company whose style I really really love and has been dreaming of getting my wedding photos taken there since I first saw their work!
We've also bought our wedding bands and are waiting for them to be shipped over from their hometown :) While it's not customized, I love the fact that each of them are hand-crafted. I think we've been talking abt using the B.Zero1 for our wedding bands since a few years ago, so I'm very thankful that we finally got it :)
We've also somehow, very digressively, managed to get our wedding shoes :p
Our cheap airtix to Korea has also been booked, at a super worthwhile price coz SQ is having some super deal right now :D
Have also shortlisted a photographer to cover the actual day event. A pity that the videographer is not available as well...
Right now, the most important thing that is yet to be settled is....
THE WEDDING VENUE.
I know......... this should have been the first item on the list, but the date was only fixed recently and seriously, how many hotels are still available for a wedding at the end of the year?!
As desperate time calls for desperate measures, we emailed every single hotels over the weekend (Almost. Even St. Regis, just for the fun of it :p ) to ask for their availability on that 'special day'.
A number of hotels got back to us the very next day and some of them are available!! I think we've both secretly set our eyes on 1 particular one, but we just need to check the ballroom out for the assurance.
Activities coming up:
- Meet with liaison person for pre-wedding shoot
- Book accom in Korea
- Site visit to wedding venue(s)
- Shopping for AD bridal package
- Meeting up with AD photographer (still pinning on some hopes that we can get the videographer toooo)
- other exciting things which have yet to come to my mind :)
I thank God for His amazing blessings thus far and pray that He will continue to guide us through this exciting Journey of Love and draw us closer to Him and closer to each other :) AMEN~!!
That soon? Isn't your house only ready mid-to-end of 2014?
ReplyDeleteYup, house likely to come only in Mid-2014 :) Well, we would prefer to have the wedding in 2013, but the parents have some 'auspicious dates' to follow :\
