My Wedding (pt 2)

The photo shot was taken two months before the actual wedding day. I am glad it was done. Along the way we planned our wedding day by day. And don't forget we are not movie stars who spent zillions on wedding planner. But who needs a wedding planner anyway. A waste of money to be honest. Really...! The process was long and wearisome but really worth doing. I really enjoyed doing it our own and should I have another opportunity to do it I will surely do it own my own. It's your wedding and why should you let people plan a wedding for you. That's dreadful.

We were always on the look for invited guests. She had hers and as well as mine. We put them together and they were hundreds of them. I didn't know that we are going to have so many on our list until we bring them in together. Elimination time was sad. Far away guests will have to be eliminated form the lists. Sorry guys. We manage to arrange the sitting charts and who should be sitting together. Where should we put the loud and rowdy table - my drinking buddies. Argh! They really had great time. We all did.

Well...we trimmed it down to twenty-four tables with ten guests on each table. All together there were twenty eight something tables included tables for kids and the high tables. Then we were able to choose a venue, a venue that suit our budget. We found a little banquet hall that perfectly fitted our tables with reasonable price tag. I am happy with it. We chose our menu - Chinese style eight course menu. Who's going to eat all the food. I don't and as a matter of fact I really didn't get to eat enough that evening. We get to try our menu and should we dislike the taste of it we can always make some suggestion. Then venue and menu were all done deal...

Oh well...beers my friend. How much is not enough! Enough is nothing to worry about as I was so worry we might be out of drinks before the end of the evening. I chose to get my own beers, liquors and wine from outside instead of letting them charging me a hefty amount. I think we had enough beers, liquors and wines for the evening. not everyone drinks and half were female and few tables were under age. Set! Next was the invitation cards. My girlfriend designed the cards and I was assigned to print them. Done! Informed our invited friends and all were done. I did mine and she did hers. We informed the priest on the date and everything was set for the big day. All other things I leave it up to her to manage. I don't dare to interfere unless she asked me for a favor. This would be the end of my bachelorhood and the beginning of being a husband.
