Wedding Planning :)

Yes, the big day will be coming soon.. on 6 Jan 2013! :)

So get this date down on your calendars okays! :D

I've been sooo excitedly looking forward to each step of the wedding planning!

Some have asked why don't I just engage a wedding planner,

but I don't think I'd want one :)

I'm already running events myself, it's a bit weird if I don't plan my own wedding yea?

Date selection has been a majorrrr headache.

I was pretty fixated on the hotel that I want as I've weighed all factors,

and found just one hotel that has most of the pros comparatively.

Hence, the date was such a big big big problem.

But I'm so glad it's (almost) settled already!

We are going to the hotel's wedding showcase coming feb!

But we have soft-booked the date already :) Whee!

Have also started gowns-hunting a while back,

and visited a few BS after doing proper research online.

Finally found one shop that I absolutely fell in love with,

and we even brought mumsie along to view the gowns today  :)

It's funny cuz before we went, she warned me against signing any package today.

But it turned out that she started to haggle with the salesperson before I mentioned anything!

Could tell our tastes are so alike!

The first shop we went to (just to scout more options),

she didn't have a good impression at all. lol.

We managed to get a reallyyyy good deal today! (many thanks to mumsie)

She could chat up a storm with the sales people. haha :P

Even managed to get a MTM wedding gown thrown in free with with original package price :D

We are also in the midst of looking for actual day photographer!

Shortlisted a few already, and will be contacting them soon.

Videographer is quite set too, we will be getting Shiwei (Rach's videographer)

So super happy that Shiwei is free :D

Now, we are set with date, hotel, prewedding shoot, actual day gown, and videography!

Still shortlisting for actual day photography, and some fringe events before banquet :)

Many of the big ticket items are set already, next up will be more of the nitty gritty :)

Like florals, invites, designing of wedding gown, selection of evening gown and tea dress,

sequence of events, solemnizer, guest list, song list, food tasting :D

Looks like there is a lot more stuff to do!

Even though there is some painful problems along the way,

but I'm treasuring every step of this planning journey :)

The boy has been very supportive and tolerant with my many outbursts too.

Thank you the b! :P
