Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile since I last updated.
The planning has been one hell of a roller coaster ride, and me and Seng have come to a decision.
We have decided to postpone the wedding to 2011 instead of our current plan now. We have taken into consideration our parents input and such, and have decided to hold it back one more year.
As such, I will still be doing my research and suff, and will update here with ideas in preparation for my wedding come 2011. Other brides-to-be are welcomed to input your suggestions and ideas as well. Let's all help one another out, as I understand that the wedding is only one day, and all brides want their wedding day to be perfect.
Oh ya!! I will be inviting my bestie, Pris, to co-author this blog with me on ideas for weddings. Just in case you'll be wondering why there is another author in this blog other than me and Seng.
Well then.. Let's get on with the research and start putting them down before I forget the ideas.

Complications
Hi Everyone,
I'm back for an update.
Things have been slow moving recenlty due to the fact that we had not yet been able to confirm the Actual Wedding Day (read: Customary Marriage).
Things has gotta quite out of hand lately due to picking and confiming the date. It seems that Jeremy's parents had found out, that next year is a bad year for them. In what way, I don't know. It seems that the Year of the Tiger, 2010, will have an adverse effect on them. Therefore, the wedding will be pushed back to 2011. The tentative date right now sits on 20 March 2011. And this is when things start to get complicated.
Well for one, I'm not happy nor convinced about the Tiger year is a bad year thing. But as it is, people around me has advised me to go along with the date. As such, me and Jeremy will be going back to the Geomancer to confirm if the date and time are the most auspicious. And we might get a second opinion on the date and time.
Well, I guess the date was the catalyst to the next arguement that me and Jeremy had. Whew... It was upsetting and everything, but we worked it out and things are better now. Oh well... We have to expect more to come as his parents are way suspicious, than any normal persons out there. = (
Also, there's the thing with the Taiwan photoshoot trip. Alot of troublesome details to look into, like the lodgings and transport and all the stuff you look into when planning for a holiday. Sigh.. It just keeps getting more and more complicated.
Then there's the things about Jeremy wanting to get a house by the actual wedding day. As the wedding will have to be moved to 2011, I guess we can look around for a home of our own, IF our finances will allow. I'm just worried of having to pay for the wedding stuff as the time draws nearer to the actual wedding and the initial huge deposit for the new home. Our finances will be so tight that there's no room for honeymoon discussions. I guess that we will only know when we meet up with Amanda, Jeremy's uncle wife who is in the property business, to find out if we are able to manage the weding budget and the housing budget.
On a lighter note, me and Pris, my bestie and wedding coordinator, went to Tanjong Pagar, where there is a street of bridal studios to have a go at trying on wedding gowns. It was really fun, and its just amazing to see oneself in a wedding dress. Never thinking that white was every colour, but I looked darn good. Although I still have some weight to lose and shoulders and arms to tone up. I've also realised the kind of cut and neckline that my body is suitable to wear. So right now, all I have to do is look around for designs and colours, as well as hairstyles to suit the dress. But I guess that when I go over to Taiwan for my pre-wedding photo shoot, the coordinators there will be helpful.
I can't wait to head over to Taiwan for my pre-wedding shoot coz I feel like it's going to be alot of fun, as Pris and my family will be tagging along for the ride. As for now, I'm looking into the minor details for the ROM in Apr 2010. I'm dropping by my Alma Mater tomorrow with Pris to have a look at the place and the rooms that we have in mind as the venue for the solemnisation. Sigh... Jeremy can't make it last minute due to work commitments, but I guess that's fine. We can always make another appointment to see the place together.
