Summary of our 'homework' so far ...

We started doing our 'homework' in the second half of 2008. By homework i mean flipping wedding magazines, reading forums (which according to dear, he started looong time ago), and of course attending wedding/bridal fairs, visiting various vendors ... etc.

First item on our list was actually the marriage preparation workshops. But that item still remains unchecked. I hope we can get it done in 2009. But it will really depends on our schedule. By the way, it is really tough trying to dig the information for the workshops over the internet. Sigh...

From the wedding magazines, we got to know of many Bridal events/fair by the bridal shops and hotels. We have actually went to a couple of them. (Separate entries on those)

The next very important thing that would come to mind is the date. Yes, at this point when the proposal is not done yet, setting the date would seems very weird. Anyway, we made an appointment to see a Fengshui master to see our Ba Zi. (another post on that)

Believe it or not, we have also been to see wedding bands! Yes i know, we are skipping steps ahead. But who can resist seeing the lovely blings? Haha. We have been very disciplined so far. It is all seeing (and trying) only.

We have also been into at least two bridal shops. And both of them we have signed something with them. *Shock!* Haha... (again, another post on those)

There is something even more substantial that we have done. And that is, to apply for a flat! (Yes very smart, it will be on another post)

Now not everything will be in 'another post'. Below are some of the things we have discussed:

1. When is a good time for us (We are looking at 3 years)
   
2. How much is our budget ( ... ... have setup an online wedding budget at weddingwire.com)
   
3. The kind of wedding we want (But that is not cast in stone yet)
4. The approximate number of people we can have at our wedding (200 to 250?)
   
5. The possible venues
   
6. even the kind of wedding favours to give! (We dislike those which the hotels provide. There is no personalisation to speak of...)
   

We will be looking at the above issues in more details and also at other issues. I believe it is not just the actual day that is called the wedding, but the whole process of preparations as well! So we should enjoy this whole process.

Do join us in our journey as we venture through.
