Photographer Search & Mini Updates
We have shortlisted 3 photographers based on the photos on their websites, price and what the package comprised of. $250/hr and min. of 3hours are a big no-no for us.
What we're looking at are 3-4 hours (the ROM event is 3hrs) of photography at less than $400 if possible. Its a real low and tight budget but better than burning a hole in our pocket. Still considering if we should ask the photographer to take photos of me getting ready (make-up, hairstyling etc) as that will probably mean we need 4hrs of photography in all.
I know people have been telling us to keep it simple etc but the ROM means a lot to us, as much as our banquet which will come in another year or two. The people whom we are inviting will also be those whom we really want to share our joy with and play a part in our life.
Of cos we're not the only couple who have been dating for years but it has not been an easy journey for us both. Its definitely not like what a galfren said "Ur went thru a lot meh? Only ur mum is the obstacle wat." Yeah, its easy for her to say that becos she doesn't have pressure of being the only one who's working and earning many more times than me.
I realised that despite I felt upset a few times (you know how guys can sometimes be super laid back abt stuff and me being gan chiong spider), I could feel the bond and love growing stronger slightly more everyday. This is the man whom I'm gonna be legally married to in 3 mths time, the man whom I'm gonna finally settle down with after 7yrs (our 7th yr anni is on 26/Jun btw) and the man whom I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with happily ever after.
Err, I'm digressing liao. =x Anyway, I finally managed to eat at Zeng Fu Cai with Bixin, Michelle and Hubby on Wednesday! Had some ice-cream from Tom Palette also, fat fat fat!!
Called up Helen/GHA during lunch to inform her that we have booked our venue and the date is 28/Jun. She will be fixing an appointment for me next mth to try on the gowns! Feeling so excited, keke. Meanwhile, I need to lose
a lot of weight. Anyone wanna get some fats from me? =p Hope I can get to try some nice gowns that I can fit into and hide my flaws, lol.
