both of us had a busy working weekend..which means some plans had to be cancelled..

but we did have a few updates on THE day..

on friday, we went to the expo. this time it was more for him and we only went to one booth to do the booking. and that was about it. i think we got expo fatigued already. we were with his parents, and they prefer to go with the tried and tested while he just dont mind anything and i have almost come to that point as well.

anyway they went with the same decorator as the one they had for his sis's wedding. ditto for his caterer (which they had already booked some months ago, since i heard it's one of the more popular ones). the decorator brought up an important point, which is his wedding reception location is one of the most popular ones and he might not just get that place..the older folks being conservative and not so rececptive to change were ideed quite worried about this fact. because they REALYY want to hold it there and even mentioned about shifting the date *Nooooo.....

anywway we also made a call to a couple who just had their wedding reception there..and indeed she said we had to be KIASU and get in line (gasp as early as 6am) once the booking for the location is out. oh dear. i think he may just forget about this being quite the slacker sometimes..anyhow we did cracked our brains for a few alternative locations..but we still hope to get that place..

on my side, my mum got wind of some news that my caterer may already be booked for my date..and somehow it appeared there was some miscommunication, my mum thought she had already booked the caterer ..our caterer is a relative who has traditionally been the caterer for weddings in my family. so same same as with all older folks, they stand steadfast and loyal so they REALLY want this caterer..i had somehow push this responsibility of booking the caterer to the older folks..and now there was this glitch in the plans. my cousin was amused that i wasnt so worried or kancheong..i mean, i also want this caterer coz they are good but dunno why leh i am not so kancheong as i should be .anyhow as of last night my mum managed to sort this out, and i did get my caterer in.

most times i am in dishevelled comfort rather than being immaculately done up, that's my stlye so it goes the same with my wedding prep. i am not very particular sometimes and so i am not staying true to the supposedly virgoans perfectionist tendencies..some days i dun mind anything at all..you know what the makciks2 always say about weddings, asalkan selamat & sempurna. so many a times both of us wish that we can do a quickie weddnig at romm. just a small one. asalkan selamat right..that's the idea..but i gues to the family that's not a sempurna one. which i think is actually relative (sempurna, ok sempurna or very sempurna which most prob comes with a 12ft s&k pelamin).so the sempurna part lah is the one that is taking a whole lot of coordination..

all in all; got my makandam-merpati, got our decorators- decorama & d'wedding gardens, got our photograher-poise, our caterers-anis&din & wak manik, and also our videographer-boombox videos (up & coming and one i have complete trust in their taste.heh) what else? i think that's about it, eh. the most important thing for us now is to get that bank account to grow fatter.
