Hunting for a wedding photographer for our actual day now!
Since we're not likely to be going with a videographer (can't see ourselves plonking down on a couch and re-watching our whole wedding, or even worse, making others watch it), hopefully Mr. Photographer will be able to cobble together some express highlights of the day's events for the wedding banquet attendees! Because I'll bet the banquet peeps would love to watch how the groom-to-be and his "brothers" get bullied and fleeced by mah awesome sisters! *cue nefarious laughter* =D
Other considerations - why are wedding photographers so expen$ive in Singapore?! Is this the situation all over the world, or are we just getting hammered of our hard-earned moolah?
Other errands we need to run soon - tailor shirts for Dax, get some bling-BLING wedding shoes, pick out wedding bands, start working on miscellaneous things like picking music for the actual day etc... BUSY!

Some thoughts after the Lunar New Year
Chinese New Year just passed, and it was both a boon and bane to wedding couples.
Remember the times when you were unattached, and people kept asking you when you were getting married? Then when you got attached, and more people asked when you were getting married?
Well, when you've made your wedding announcement, things are very much different during Chinese New year. For one, the aunties are more excitable and chatty with a hundred and one things to get excited about. It's like a barrier has been broken and now they can go full scale into the process!
For me, I made use of this time to spread the news to some of the relations that we see less of. Also, this would be a good time to ask your recently-married relatives about the problems they faced, and what you should have to plan for, and stuff that you absolutely must not forget. Of course, your wedding is still your own, and whether you want this custom, or that jewellery, etc, is for you (and to some extent, your parents) to decide.
During this period, even your wedding set at the end of the year would suddenly seem to be taking place next month. Good in a way. Stress is good cos it makes one panic, and panic hopefully gets things done.
In my case, I needed that kick in the bum.

Happy Valentine's Day!
To our last Valentine's Day as singles!
Made him some special "traditional" (whatever that means...) V-day gifts of strawberries, shortbread cookies and chocolate mochi dipped in bittersweet chocolate... was fun to see his excitement and surprise at receiving it!
It was a memorable, cosy V-day for us... heartfelt, cos that's what matters most! Cos when one is in a fulfilling relationship, even walking the dog together and catching a rare sight of a night sky studded with stars is a special event... because there's someone to share that wonder with!
Remember to say "I LOVE YOU" to your dearest ones! A little reminder now and then never hurts... =)

And the Wheels are in Motion...
...as we work together towards planning more stuff for our big day!
Finally starting to feel a bit of the "fun" factor of planning our own wedding, though there are still many issues (mainly parents-related, mine not his) to iron out, but as ideas start budding and we begin thinking of how our wedding should look and feel, things are picking up!
This is especially after the fruitful session we had with the gown designer, who, the genius multi-tasking design whiz he is, managed to draw up a wedding gown for me that incorporated all my comfort requirements, Dax's ideas and requests for embellishments, as well as his own distinctive eye-catching style all in one!
Excited to see how it turns out!
Stay tuned! ;p
