Pictorial Memories
From October San Antonio trip.
Bibi's sisters want to put engagement announcement at his hometown's newspaper. So she asked us to pose accordingly. LoL! This was on the balcony of one of Rio Rio's private rooms. I think it was the Estrella Room.
Might as well be a favorite picture of us. Also, beware of Xinda attack! This was on Artisan Alley where Bin 555 is located.
Precious bundle of future nieces and nephew in law a.k.a. Blonde Babes.
We are thinking of moving dates to April 10th or May 1st, church permitted. Annual San Antonio Fiesta is right on the April 15-25 time frame. Bummer! Wish us luck...

Venue List
Just sent Fiance a list of venue we need to pay a visit to.
Game plan is to be at all four Riverwalks locations (Casa Rio, Rio Rio Cantina, Zuni Grill and Paesanos) on Saturday afternoon and all three around church locations (Los Patios, Bin 555, Silo) on Sunday morning & afternoon before meeting with Fr. Jim.
Things to find out on visit:
Menus, tables & chairs setting, fees, duration, extra space available for cake, music, dance, decoration, alcohol, limitations, others?? (help me, if I miss anything girls?)

Much Ado About Nothing
I haven't been doing anything substantial lately except to confirm with the father that we are going to meet with him on Sunday the 18th and that we tentatively put a hold on April 24th 2010, 2 PM slot. We will set the date and time when we actually talk with him in persons. Also, I just mailed the Engaged Encounter form for a retreat on December 4-6 in San Antonio. We can actually celebrate Fiance's birthday together this year!
I watched this for the umptenth time last night not just because it has the word "wedding" on it but it is on my list of memorable flicks and a girl just needs to retreat to girly guilty pleasures sometime. [Short digression: back in the film's release year which is also my freshman year in college, the school's film society decided to play it at the auditorium. Everyone whooped whole heartedly in unison at the part where Julianne character mentioned (despite condescendingly) the name of the town where our school is.]
Oh, I had been flipping thru and cutting pictures from magazines (not bridal) for inspiration for something refreshing on pre-wedding pictures--I was surprised that Fiance actually wants to do a pre-wedding photoshoot. See, I refuse to waste money on acquiring bridal magazines for inspiration, it is always resulting in a sensory overload and lack of common sense. But while waiting for an oil change this morning, I was about to flip thru a magazine called "Welding." That little "L" in the middle just escaped me.
PS:
Fiance's sisters are throwing us an engagement dinner party. I think I need a dress or a cute top to wear with this gorgeous navy blue silky skirt I have. LoL.

LoL!
I have possibly done the geekiest thing bar none about this wedding planning. Well, maybe not the geekiest thing since I am hoping to come up with something geeky for the wedding itself, but still.
What is it, you say.
I am using a cleanroom note book as a planner/notebook for organizing ideas about the wedding! Size-wise, it looks like the small one on this picture.
This way, I can conveniently bring it to the lab (and everywhere else) and use it whenever ideas strike without anyone knowing. I decorate it (discreetly on an inside page) with a favorite picture of me and Bibi and a picture of our hands with mine wearing my engagement ring. Maybe I'll put on some stickers and other embellishment later. *sarcastic tone* On a more practical side, I need to add a calendar to do list page to it and a table of content. [Update: the notebook has a calendar now, from October 2009-May 2010, accordion style...]
It's been great so far. The only thing is I am probably gonna run out page sometime. LoL. I am definitely keeping the book as a priced memento after the wedding.
