Wow...it was more than what I expected. I seriously thought it would be just the dinner and the church ceremony. That's it! But there's something more. Photo taking! Dress for her! Well...my attire too. Bride's maid! And my best man. Marriage course as we are married in a Catholic Church. One whole day course. Imagine listening to a Catholic priest who've never been married and supposedly being not involved lecturing us on marriage and other related stuff...you know what I mean. Yeah some heavy stuff! I can't believe I heard it from a priest. Well...it has to be done though.
Our witnesses from both sides. The master of ceremony. Oh...the menus for the dinner. Menu tasting! Flowers! Our wedding music and songs! it takes forever to select several good songs... and nothing brokenhearted songs yeah! It has to be something forever. And love songs. Arghhhhh....Not to forget that we have to burn cd's for all the guests...maybe hundreds of them.
What else? Tables! How many tables do we intend to have. This means how many people are we inviting. And how many would be hers and how many would be mine. Hey guys! We have a budget here! Hello! It's not an unlimited budget wedding. And furthermore we have drained our bank account from the trip we just had. Then the sitting arrangements. Invitation cards! Geez...oh dear...the designs. Who's going to all that? Luckily my future wife is good in it... Oh ya! the church ceremony program ( am I using the right term here?) Whatever!
Oh! Not to forget people. The biggest of them all! Beers! Liquors! Wine! And the biggest of all the Wedding Cake...i didn't even know who did order it. She did it as I was totally busy with the beers, the liquors and the wine. But first we have to have the wedding course done before we are able to register and book our wedding day with the church. It was done! Fun though. Meeting many potentials wives and husbands. Old and young! Beautiful and handsome. Tall and shorts. We all get a fast glance at each other partners...men and women. Funny eh!
Second comes with choosing the dress or gown. Choosing dress mean choosing the photo studio as they come hand in hand. That's her thing. Nothing to do with me but still she gets to ask me for opinion. I hate telling them that I don't like it as she will take hours and hours choosing from hundreds of gowns. Well i get to see her putting it on the dress...but not before going to the church...That's done too!
And next is the photo taking. It took one whole day...oh no...and the next morning too. Tiring seeing here putting on so many dress. And me too. Why not. I had several. The studio takes were okay. not that bad as we were inside. But the most excruciating part was the outdoor takes. We chose ( better to say "we") the beach side to be our outdoor photo venue. So we book a room at one of the resorts and there we go...like shooting a movie holding and carrying each other. Gosh my back was aching really bad. Oh...infront of so many people at the beachside. Quiet embarassing but I managed it well...that was just the beginning guys...Cont...
