Wedding Preparation - GDL

these 2 days of my weekend were used to start preparing for our GDL on 18th Dec...

Yesterday,went to purchase GDL stuff with Bong n his mum... Groom's side stuff were bought... just that now need to buy those small small thingy like oranges... wines they will bring 2 bottles over that day.. after which, we went to HIA to meet Ivan, n his new superior.. after meeting with them for around 2.5 hours, most of our doubts n problems were solved.. esp the sitting arrangement n the march in distance... i had always wanted a long march in, so now after the new boss gave me some ideas, we can have a longer march in, where all the guests can see us clearly. but i'm not going to reveal how our march in will be!! keep in suspense 1st... the march in distance can be adjusted bcoz of the re-location of the stage... initially in the middle of the ballroom, now is beside the recept area door... so the ballroom will look much bigger n spacious.. we will have the curtains open, which makes the atmosphere more natural,where guests can see the greenery outside the terrace. as most of the banquets will have curtains closed.. wedding favours had 1 in mind, but no stock, so Ivan will contact the supplier for us,see if can get that favour.. if not, will take the other design.. theme wise,he will send me the pics of the other 2 themes, then we will re-choose again.. he will send me the new floor plan, then we can start to plan table arrangement...

After meeting with HIA coordinators,we went to JP to buy a new printer... Bong surprised me with a small blue rose bouquet.. i was delighted of course.. as he won't give me a surprise.. it was really beyond my imagination... thanks so much to my hubby..
Today, it's my turn to bring my mum to buy the GDL stuff for the bride's side... 4th uncle n aunt were with us... we spent ard 1+ hour there.. for us, all we need to get ready are, the oranges for exchange, ang bao money for the various ppl.. for AD, we also need to buy some oranges, 2 boxes of ferraro chocolates, so i think may get these things as well.. initially was worried, as GDL is the 1st event of our wedding thingy in Dec.. n yet we didn't do anything in regards of this GDL.. so felt much relieved that we finally bought the 'necessary' things for GDL already... now is to buy the stock.. wedding cakes will b delivered on GDL day itself... they will come to our house in early noon.. then, mum n i will go round to pass invitation card n wedding cake to relatives.. n will also inform them the time to reach my house for tea ceremony, n my ROM solemnisation...
Days r drawing nearer each day.. so far so good... preparation so far quite smooth... so all i pray is, on GDL n AD, it dun rain...
