My wedding gown should be ready this Friday or next Monday. But all their alteration session have been fully booked and the earliest date I can get to try out my gown will the 29th April. They said it's gonna take 2 weeks to have it done...which means I won't be able to have my gown before leaving for LA @_@
By the way, we've been sending out evites for the ceremony in the morning and banquet at night. And seems to me that most of the people haven't even read the evite yet. And there's a huge no. of people read it and didin't reply. To make our lives easier, please reply so that we don't have to start calling or messaging everyone...

52 days and counting down
Things are slowly coming together. One last major thing is to plan the logistics for the wedding and recruit people to fill in the roles. We will need a driver, MCs, photographer, coordinator. Best man and bridesmaid also need to help out a bit. Starting putting thing together on a excel now...

Slacking Off
I'll be leaving for LA on May 10 and won't be back till late May. I still don't feel the urge of getting everything done. I'm the last-minute type of person and have this believe in "船到橋頭自然直". Muahahaha

The artistic side of me
Have been thinking about what to do for our wedding slide show. I have the entire flow mapped out in my mind... spent some time to collect baby pictures, found a good song to match our theme, and started a 1-minute draft. It took me about 2 weeks, and I showed it to Vicky. She came back 1 day later with a much much better draft.. with photo editing and rolling background and all the whistles and bells...
I guess it's a good thing I am studying business and not arts

Emotional Prison?!
Well, that sounds pretty serious, eh?
It's the time of the year when the carnival comes to Landsdowe Mall. We've been going there every year since 2002. Nope, not for the games, nor the snacks. But for tarot card/palm reading.
So how does that relate to our wedding u ask?
Let's say I have nothing better to ask, so I sort of thinking about what will I do and how's thing going be with Mark when I shuffle the cards.
I'm glad that I was specific about the question this time...coz last time her reading was vague becoz of my overly general question. Hahaha, I've learnt my lesson. =)
I'm not gonna type the whole reading here, not in our wedding blog. But I'm willing to share this "Emotional Prison" idea from my reading.
I was pretty surprised to have been told that I'm in this Emotional Prison when I think of myself being quite calm these days. I couldn't agree on that idea and then the tarot card reader explained a bit more about this states...she said it could be me not wanting to hurt others feeling or some elderly figures (my dad, etc) telling me what to do.
In that case, yes.
I've always wanted to please everyone. And with that thought, I'm always torned between what others and myself want.
Like planning this wedding. Even though it was a simple one, there's still some basic traditional chinese custom to follow.
Mark and I don't want to serve alcohol at our banquet. Firstly, becoz I don't like alcohol. Secondly, our families/most friends don't drink. Thirdly, I don't want our guest to DUI. But then my aunt said quite firmly about "There has to be alcohol at banquet with this chinese saying...喜酒， has to have 酒 for celebration".
I'm just not strong enough to stand my ground even though it's my wedding.
This is only a tip of the iceberg.
I was gonna donate to BCSPCA in lieu of favor. It's meaningful to me and I think it's better than guest bringing home somethings that's gonna sit around the house with no functional use. But once again, my idea got rejected beoz of not actually giving favor to guest. I was sad to acknowledge that tradition is more important than having a good heart and doing a good deed. Somehow, they don't understand that.
I still want to make a donation to BCSPCA, at the same time I'll have to give out FAVOR too.
I'm frustrated. Why do I have to be THAT considerate? I should be a Bridezilla~
Mark keeps telling me..."we can't please everyone" and "we'r the ones who make the final decision".
Easy to say, Hard to do.
I guess I'll be in my emotional prison for awhile.

75 Days left
Totally not getting enough sleep...Not becoz of the stress from planning the wedding, but hanging out with Mark till way past my usual bed time which is 12am. I need my 8 hr of sleep in order to get my brain to function.
Back to our planning~
We went to have dinner at Shiang Garden where our banquet will be held. The food was actually not bad and their decor is pretty classy. So after dinner, we (+my mom, Mark's mom) went to the 1st floor and checked out our banquet hall. To tell you the truth, it's over my expectation. Well, first of all, the hall is way bigger than I thought (it can hold up to 16 tables...and we only needed 10, so think of all the extra space). And with only 10 tables, we can totally use the dance floor (So now we need to practise our first dance...@-@). Oh, and maybe we should do the bouquet throwing at the hall rather than at the chapel. There's a little platform where our wedding cake will be placed and guest can have a better look at us doing the cake cutting. Projector, DVD player and all the equipment are ready to use...and if people are bored, we can do Karaoke too, hahahaha....
