We are progressing quite well according to the 3 - 2 month checklist. Yes, I know I say this for every checklist that I've ticked off so far!
The only thing Ant and I can't decide on is the song for our first waltz. He nominated some weird rnb mix and I suggested the very beautiful song 'Lucky' made popular from Glee.
It was sung by Quinn and Sam in the remix
The original version was sung by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
Both are equally good and sums up our long distance relationship. I must try harder to ensure it will be the song we dance to. Dance classes will be tricky because I'm only going to be in Fiji 2 weeks before the wedding. 2 weeks can sound like a lot, but not when there are sure to be other last minute things that will require our attention. And I'm a slow learner.'
I don't want to be like Aunty Lily at her wedding where she was obviously concentrating more on remembering the right steps than actually enjoying the dance.
I think Ant mentioned he had hired Ken Jenson or somebody's band to play for an exorbitant amount of money for the remainder of the night. We'll need to discuss their song list too.
if I don't have time to sit down and eat my 9 course dinner, I sure as hell do not have time to dance!
I am trying to be proactive about my wedding planning so there will be numerous posts on how I'm going in the coming months!
According to an online wedding site, my Checklist 12-10months before the wedding should look like this;
I think we know what we'd generally like. Besides whitening my teeth, I've considered everything else.
The guest list is a toughie because we're anticipating the majority of guests will be our respective parents' guests.
Novotel Convention Centre sits 350 people apparantly, so I've tentatively estimated the guests will be;
- 200 Yam side
- 100 Kan side
- 50 Ant and I
A while back I asked people who were going to Hong Kong or China to find me some sample wedding invitations. (It was a surprise to me when Ant said he wanted traditional Chinese invites but I am happy to go along with it).
My Uncle from China sent these. My first reaction was: YUCK;
