Bridekenstein Management (Sort of)

Ahh...it feels like I haven't been updating in ages. No worries. I keep on thinking about wedding preparation in every waking minute (surprise, surprise, the whole ordeal hasn't made it to my subconscious realm yet, I am famous for twisted, scary dreams).

It is true what wise people say, planning takes 90% of your time, execution takes only 10%. Although, I have to remind myself to slow down on the planning side sometimes. Bibi's famous two words and two punctuation marks for me are "Easy, Killer!" It is good that this work week has been quite substantial for my future and adding to it are the personal projects with impending deadlines, so I couldn't really realize any of the things on the to do list but randomly thinking about it. Otherwise, most decision will be made and apart from the religious side of things, we can be happily married already. LoL!

Speaking of Bibi...I have a feeling he's probably will never post anything in this blog what with the estrogen saturated air. It is ironic that the idea of creating this blog was his in the first place. In a way, I can understand that it's like opening a pandora box once he hits that enter button on the address tab, much less trying to add material to the blog. See, I have a penchant to become a monster when I am enjoying doing things I like.

Also, shameless selves-promotion here.

As a closing to this rambling and for the purpose of jotting down pertinent materials, here are the things I've been thinking about, in no particular order:

-List of reception places to see in October trip

-Actually buy ticket for October trip

-Send email to Fr. J to confirm we are going to catch a meeting with him that Sunday

-Preparing a list of question, concern, etc, for him about our wedding preparation and Mass

-Figuring out time off and schedule for Engaged Encounter retreat (November? December? out of the San Antonio Diocese?)

-Readings for Mass (I've been reading the Bible, reflection book, etc., to find something that touches heart)

-Invitation design (Bu Didi is in charge, I scored a laser color printer from surplus at work, so I can print them myself on Bu Didi is done! Although, I need to find pretty paper material for invitation, reception card, RSVP, etc.)

-Photographer (NY came up with an affordable photographer list. I need to look over their portfolio. Sad thing, on some of them, I think I can do a better job editing the pictures. I might as well do post processing myself, I'd tell you.)

-Some geeky decoration, activity, theme on the wedding to make it "us".

-Veil, oh, veil. I'm torn between cathedral mantilla or fingertip length with simple white pearl ribbon on the edge.

-Macaron as favors (Evy, you're just amazing, she provides the foolproof recipe, NY is on board as baking mate, Mommy should be too! Need to find boxes that'll showcase the pretty color)

-Guest list

-Delegating tasks (I have evil plan...huahuahuhaaa)

-Bridesmaid or no????
