It's been a while....

since I last mentioned about the gown...

Yes so there was a tiny bump in the supposed smooth sailing, so far so good thinking until 2 fittings ago when the alteration looked oh so strange. but that's all over and done with. it looks great now...=) n fits like a glove...

Since then, we've confirmed our location: Goodwood Park Hotel, The Windsor Ballroom
and the church: St Francis Xavier (Cause my grandparents from Mummy's side's there, so after the celebration we'll stop by to say "hi hi!")
and the date!!: 29th January 2011

The last time when i booked a date, the person at the church told me to take the form home, fill it up then come back and make a deposit. Today, someone else from the church called me "trying" to bump me off my wedding timing... nice try... =P

The story goes...

Last Sunday I had gone in to book my church date... Wanted some time late morning, but arrived only to discover that the same day, 11am slot was taken up... so... settled for the early 9am mass... (well... at least I can now go in and set up the flowers the night before...hehehe... the couple after me needs to come in right after mine to rush their set up...) I sound like Bride-zilla in the making!

But yeah..anyway, so reserved that date and TAH DAH!

So today, I received a call from some1 from church telling me that there's a couple there with her now... who'd like that date, and want to book it at 10, an hr b4 e other couple... no idea HOW they're gonna do tt... n they were able to made the deposit today...

So i replied... "Ok, so what you want me to do???"

She replied..."Could you have your wedding at 8am?"

WAHAHAHAHA! no one's gonna come to my wedding like that man! 8am... phhftt...

So I said no... its too early...

And she tried explaining to me the whole situation about how they can pay deposit...So i told her what I was told, that I can come back to deposit but to reserve the date and that there was no way I was giving it up...

Before both phones were put down... I heard the lady's distant voice say "I'm so sorry...but"
I felt bad, but i also felt good that I had stood my ground...

Bride-Zilla here she comes! hahaha!

Next up on list of to do things asap:
1) Pay deposit for church
2) Pay deposit to Goodwood Park
3) Design invites
4) Pay and register for Marraige Preparation Course
5) Confirm Brides maids and the possible Brides Man...=)

I determined I didn't want to fill up the brides MAIDS quota just cause I had to...
Chris so far has chosen 3 or the possible four, Grooms men + Best Man...

So for me...
1) Cherie aka Samsui aka Che-ly (Bridesmaid)
2) Jaslyn (from uni days, different course, but I love her dearly like a little sister)
and here it comes... the possible number 3....
3) Brides-MAN...Derek (Same bday, same nonsense...hahaha! We're queer in a way, but we click) *shurgs* who said it HAS..DIE DIE HAS to be a girl... Screw that! hahaha!

and the possible 4th girl... if this woman comes back and stays put in Singapore to have the alteration of her dress done and all that jazz...

4) Stephanie aka Step-ni-ni...
