2010!

It's been a while since I updated this blog. Honestly, I've had cold feet on preparing for this wedding. It is not about the groom and me, thankfully, but about leg works (and actual works) left. I am chanting the word "simple" for about a thousand times in an attempt to make myself feel better.

Bottom line is no matter how simple this wedding is gonna be, it still needs preparation, correct? Delegate and organize are my two best operating words these days. Also, magabu (makan gaji buta) every chance I can or when inspiration strikes. Notice the two don't necessarily coincide.

I would like to thank my resident muse and Ibu Bunga (aka Chief Decorator) in advance for their constant attentions and ideas on this crazy cross-country planning. Also to my mother. We went to the alteration place to have the bustle sown and to shorten the off shoulder neckline on Sunday. She also picked the same style of the bridal bouquet I had in mind. And to Oni for her idea for a simple chocolate bar favor.

So, in summary, flower is rolling. Favors have been decided and team assembled. We almost have a photographer chosen. Muse and I are working on invitation for a middle February print and March 1 send out. I am printing those myself. We also have a couple of ideas about making a fun reception.

The most important thing is that Bibi and I are almost there sacramental wise. We finished Enganged Encounter, had second meeting with the Father in December--we have rehearsal time by the way-- and last but not least, got two meetings with Sponsor Couple done also in December. The last meeting with Sponsor Couple will be over details on ceremony. I am thinking to go on the weekend before President's day.

Big item to do list:
Cake (I am thinking just to have cake instead of cupcakes. Rio-rio is charging reasonable fee for set up)
Music for ceremony and reception
Program
Transportation
Make up
Other decoration
Finalizing menu

I am quite energized.
