End-Of-The-Year Update!
Us during the church party acting cute with the party hats! Damn, the hats were bloody small (i suspect they're made for kids) and we had a hard time trying to get them on our big heads! We were the musicians for the carolling session and it was great fun although we screwed up big time, having only practiced once with the choir!
23rd was spent at my place and Dan's folks came over for the annual turkey feast. As the name very suitably suggests, we had yummy turkey (from Carrefour!), roast beef, pizza, spare ribs curry, fried noodles, guo tie (chinese dumplings), pineapple fried rice, nine-layered kueh and more! Super decadent but who cares since it's x'mas! We'll worry about the expanding waistline and the wedding shoot later!
Pan Pac, we're back again! This was our x'mas eve feast this year. Crisp, fresh italian bread, lobster capuccino (mmmmmmmm!), spaghetti marinara, beef medallions....and fruity wine to go with the spread. Can't believe this time next year, i'll be someone else's missus! Kinda surreal but i'm happy we've come so far to finally reach the altar! :)
One last shot for the x'mas record. Dan reckons he looks good with that quizzical expression on his face while i just couldn't wipe that cheshire grin off my face!
2007's gonna be here in a few hours' time and i'm sure it's gonna be a mad rush next year as we try to get everything settled for the wedding. The photoshoot's gonna happen in 2 weeks' time and i'm looking forward to it, especially the outdoor shoot with Chester and the shoot at a friend's jamming studio with all our precious gear.
Oh, and here're the wedding bands we bought. The lovely viney designs on the ring surface (kinds lotr-ish) is not that obvious in this picture but i'll try to get a clearer shot another time!
Ring-A-Ding-Ding!
This picture was taken in early October - stuck in a traffic jam on the way to G&E's wedding dinner. Dan, being the driver was understandably annoyed, hence the pursed lips and weary look.
Anyways, i hope you like this new layout. I think it's pretty cool with all the cats and dogs and what-nots. And yes, 6 months 1 week and 5 days to the big day!!
More updates: we've finally bought our wedding bands! The same Jem-vine pair from Goldheart that we've been eyeing for such a long time! Don't think there was any point in shopping anymore because i'm quite sure no other pair will catch our eyes as much as this pair did! So yeah, gonna collect them tomorrow and get them engraved too. :) Photos later, i promise.
Over the weekend, we also went to do some wedding invites "window-shopping" and Tecman at Bras Basah won our vote. We've more or less decided on the wedding theme for the church invites and mass bulletin cover, so now it's down to the nitty gritty details like hymns for the mass, flower girls, emcees for the wedding dinner etc. I can't decide what song i want for the Bridal March!!! Canon in D is good but too common. We both quite like Jeremiah Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary" so maybe we'll use that. Didn't realise it till i did a search, but Clarke's piece was actually used during Princess Diana's wedding too! See, we do share a similar taste with the royal family after all!
Finally printed out the list of dishes from both Kriston and Lavish Dine and these will be "submitted" to my mum and my future mother-in-law for their perusal and approval. If anyone has good experience with any caterers or is dying to suggest a good wedding hymn for the mass, feel free to drop us a note!
