Life in Mono...

More Pictures added

For those of you who can view my private album over at flickr, I have added more pictures to it. I got my CD of pictures from Prem the photographer. I have also organized the pictures in order of the day.

Pictures...

It was a full on day...We are still recuperating from yesterday. So many things that needs to be done.

As promise I have uploaded photos to my Flickr album. Unfortunately its only for Friends and Family that is linked to me. So if you want to look at it add me in to your flickr list. These pictures are just the raw pictures taken from my camera and Prema's unPhotoshop pictures.

It was a fantastic day. Nana did a great job being the Maid of Honor irregardless of what other people say. She was there for me when I needed her and she knew her place. She also made sure everything went on smoothly and updated me from time to time. Most importantly, she carried my HUGE bag of necessities and made sure that I had water to drink. She knew when to talk and when not to talk. So what if she didn't know what to do at times. Its hers and my first wedding. We are allowed to make mistakes. :*) Thanks for doing a great job Na.

The dinner reception was also great. Tiff, Naomi and Nic did a Super Great job making the place beautiful. I picked a small Italian restaurant. The owner is a friend of my boss so we got a good deal for the food and place. He closed the whole restaurant just for us. It was small intimate and beautiful. Just how M and I wanted it. At least my mom didn't have to cook for my guest. She had an enjoyable night. And as for dad... his speech was touching and he talked to everyone. He made my friends feel like they were a part of my family. Poor Nic had to learn it the hard way.

To be continue... enjoy the pictures. I just ask one thing... Please do not copy the pictures and use it on your blog or friendster or whatever as some of the pictures are technically not mine to begin with. If you want to do it, please email me and I will ask the photographer for you.

Our Knot

Vows were said, Rings were exchanged, Kisses were made and Cheers were given. WE MADE IT.

breathe...

Its...... tomorrow..... I can not believe the day has come. I need to Breathe...I was getting panic attacks (in small doses) the whole day whenever I remember it.

Everyone at work was asking me what was I doing at work. I told them that I don't know either. *breathe*

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have pictures to post up, that is if I am not drunk or tired. :*) *breathe*

Arrivals...

Did I say I was taking a blogging break? Well I LIED. Its too addictive. Anyways here are some updates:-

Decorations are taken care of by my 2 lovely friends Tiff and Naomi. They are very good with budgeting and everything is within budget.

Arrivals today are... Dad, Uncle, Chris, G and her date. They are picked up by Azly and Nana. Thank God for them.

Cake was paid for today and Nana saw the cake and she said that it is looking good. I hope it does. I will have to ring the guy tomorrow to confirm. Which reminds me I have to also call the Registrar Office to confirm too.

I have decided on my Thank You card. Moo cards. Since Prema will be giving me most of the unPhotoshop pictures I will stick it on to the flickr album and Moo it with a little quote and our date and what not at the back. This way, those who did not attend will at least have something from the day and those who did attend will also get something else apart from the Moo cards.

The Bridal party, my two decorators and two usher will also get something from me. They will have to wait because I have to order them in first. :*)

Picked up my dress which was being altered at the b00bies part, because we know how huge they are, by Naomi's mom who made lace panels at the V neck front to make the b00bies part more subtle and soft. Its gorgeous.

Taking the parentals to have Nepalese Food in Applecross tonight. We shall see how it goes.

A sign...

I generally do not believe in horoscopes but I still like to read them for fun. I subscribe to one that sends daily horoscopes to me via email. This is what I got for tomorrow's....

Dear Feli,
              Here is your horoscope
              for Sunday, March 4:      
   
Do you have to do everything yourself to make sure it gets done correctly? That's what it feels like now. Before you wear yourself out, step back. It could be that another's standards aren't worse than yours, just different.

Hmm... I do normally do things on my own because I want it to be done my way and done correctly. I do this because I do not want to blame anyone but myself if things goes wrong. At least I will only be arguing with myself right. GOD I have some serious issues to deal with.

Anyway I am taking things one day at a time. I am giving out tasks to close friends. Its M's bucks/stag/bachelor's night tonight. Its a surprise that I asked a couple of guy friends to organize for M. I know how M values his single life and getting married is a huge and major step for him and I want him to go with a bang!! :*)

Just thinking...

Is it bad to want your wedding to be over soon so that you can go back to your normal life? I have been so run down thinking about this and its effecting my work and thinking. I wake up worried about not confirming things, inviting people and things not going to plan. I worry about hurting people's feeling just because I did not invite them to the wedding. I worry about hurting the parental's feelings if I do not do things "traditionally". What started out as a fun planning with just simple stuff now has blown our of budget and proportion. I am not complaining, I know you are only going to get married once in your life but M and I are simple people. All we wanted was a small party at the house. Yes we wanted to just have a small drinking session at our house and that was it. Heck, M initially thought it was just going to be the four of us. M, 2 witnesses and me. :*)

Anyway, people ask me if I am excited about the day as it gets closer to the 9th and I tell them, yes and no. Excited because I will be spending the rest of my life with M and no becuase its becoming to stressful. What's worse is that it only took me 2 months to do everything. Serves me right for wanting to do it quickly hey?

I just feel that this is getting too much for me and those close to me know that I usually do not ask for help. Tiff was telling me off the other day to delegate taks to her or to other friends and I told her that I usually do not want to bother people with things like these. She said that is why you have friends for, to help you out. So I took her advise and delegated some stuff to friends. The problem is I do not want to worry people and make them do stuff for me. I feel bad for asking even. I don't know.

I just want my life to be back to normal again. I miss my sewing machine so much. I have ideas dancing around in my head wanting to be let out but every time I sit on the chair in my studio, I feel guilty for neglecting my wedding stuff. I still have the wedding favours to wrap and I am all done. I think. I don’t know anymore. I just want to get this out of the way so that M and I can go on with our lives. 

Its not like we are doing only 1 reception. I have 4 receptions. One on the 9^th March (the official date of course), one for my family back home, one for his family back home and one more for the rest of the friends that we couldn’t invite to on the 9^th. All these will be at a later date.

*sigh*

Owh... I found this over at The Knot.com and they have a gallery all all things with Red Details. You know how obsessed I am with RED now aren't you? Go take a look here.

Katie Bear Hair....

My friend Kate is a hairdresser and last night we sat down to discuss my hair and make-up options.  I have decided on the look and Kate went on and did a trial run for it. I am having curls added to my hair and boy oh boy I look weird. I have never seen myself in curls and it was a funny look. :*)

Today we are going to go hunting for Nana's dress and also SHOES!!

Lady in Red...

Here is a sneak peak of my dress. :*)

Dress FOUND...

I was so angry over the bike yesterday that I forgot to post about my dress that I am going to wear on my special day. Its RED. I got it for a good deal too. They were having a huge sale my dress initially cost $199.00 and I got it $49.95. How cool is that?

I was sick and tired of searching for the right dress after searching for a week. I went to the major departmental stores, Boutiques, I even went to look for it at Target and still could not find anything that I like or anything that FITS me perfectly. So yesterday I was walking around the City and just casually walked into this store called Flower Clothing and just tried on 2 dresses. The lady there was very very helpful and very very nice. When I tried the dress on and came out, she said "WOW" and I knew that it was the dress. :*)

Like I said its Red, V-neck and its knee length. I will take a picture of it soon. So now all I need to do is find the shoes to go with it. Owh... I also bought M's tie to match my dress. We are half way there.
