Just another 10 months to go before the big day but we still haven’t yet booked the wedding venue, we are so far behind schedule! I have checked out all the prices and put a proposal together for our civil ceremony just waiting for money man (Mike) to do the negotiation. Chinese banquet Mike’s dad is to organise for us but nothing is done for our London reception, oh hold on, I have actually bought favour boxes and ribbons and the cake is also sorted, so it’s not really ‘nothing’!!

I’m getting stressed out about my dress too, most designers will have to take order 9 months before, need to leave plenty of time for fittngs and any alterations, so I now have one month to sort out 2 wedding gowns..

If anyone thinks getting married overseas is cheaper.. well then you are wrong, they all charge London prices, can you believe corkage for champagne is working out about the same as the champagne itself? Such a rip-off!

One more thing off my ‘to-do-list’ . Photos are finally up - http://josephinecwchow.blogs.friendster.com/photos/bali_sept_2007/index.html

Was spending fair amount of time looking at wedding cakes over the weekend, I never been giving so much thought on something relatively ’small’ and un-important, I’m surprised to see the amount of choices out there, different sizes and tiers and favours and colours to suit your theme and can even be personalised to match your wedding dress! And my god, how expensive is it for a bit of jammy sponge? But me being the super organised bridezilla, I have already made my decision on the cake for our London reception, believe me, it’s going to be stunning!!

I have also purchased one of my dress - yes I have! (I know I have only been engaged for less than a month!!) It’s a red Vera Wang satin dress for KL banquet. It needs some alteration cos I want it to be prefect, I have arranged for a seamstress to come to our flat to have it done this week. it’s probably going to cost a bomb but Mike is paying for it, hahaha!

Another busy weekend coming up, I’m seeing a bridal dress designer to try on dresses that I probably can’t afford to buy, and planing on a visit to The Vintage Wedding Dress Company, how cool would it be to walk down the aisle wearing something from the Victorian era?
