Purple Satin Sashes

It’s the final stretch now with just 10 days to go and as much as I really want to update on all the things we have going on for the wedding, I am just too busy to do it.

I’ll be going on leave for 3 weeks come Monday and this Friday is my deadline to ensure all work stuff is settled so I don’t get calls while away. Sigh…never underestimate how crazy work can getclose to your wedding. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it all done though *fingers crossed*.

While I am busy with work, I do take breaks every now and then by reading my favourite blogs Today, I came across this article…

http://inspirationalladdu.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/6-wedding-must-haves-you-probably-havent-even-thought-about/

It’s just what I needed. A short list of important things to do before and during the wedding. With so many projects and lists to go through, it’s super easy to skip something. But the advice given in that article hit home for me and I’m going to try my best to get them done.

Wish me luck!

After all the stress and worrying (refer to this post), my 2 pairs of shoes from Parisxox arrived today And they look lovely and fit perfectly! Yeay!

I can finally breath a little easier knowing I won’t be barefoot on for the dinner LOL

Just 19 days to go now!!!

So, a couple of good things have happened in the last 2 days.

One, HP’s Sherwani finally arrived and it looks great. Also, HP looks great in a Sherwani I really want to put a picture up but that would just be ruining the surprise I think

Two, the items I ordered from Victoria’s Secret (which includes a blush pink robe I want to use for make up and getting ready photos) arrived! I was so worried the package wouldn’t arrive after 2 dresses I ordered from ASOS got lost in the mail somehow. I’m so thankful that the VS stuff is here.

Now for the bad news…We’re having some problems with the transportation arrangements for the wedding in Portugal. It’s being worked out and hopefully, everyone will be fine with it…but it’s not an ideal situation. Just have to make do I guess.

Another thing is although my shoes from Etsy are ready, the shipping to Malaysia is costing a lot…like USD116. That’s the price of a pair of shoes…Sigh. Not much can be done though since it’s so close to the wedding and it’s not easy finding a pair of shoes for my above average shoe size. On the up side though, the shoes will be shipped tomorrow and I should get it by next week

I’m trying my best to not freak out about stuff and just look on the positive side of things right now. Truth is, wedding planning has turned out to be a lot more of a commitment than I had initially expected it to be. I’m not sure if it’s because of my work or maybe I’m just bad at prioritizing things (how do you prioritize wedding over work anyway?). In any case, the last couple of weeks were and the next few weeks will be  a test of my patience and calmness…both of which I have very little of. Maybe it’s God’s way of preparing me for married life?

24 days to…and time seems to be flying by faster by the day.

With just 29 days to the wedding, I have a long list of things that are still not settled.

1) HP’s sherwani has yet to arrive from India. It was supposed to have been shipped on the 9th of April but it’s still no where in sight.

2) My shoes have not yet been shipped. In fact, I’m not even sure if they’re done yet.

3) The hotel is giving us problems about room bookings after the staff we were dealing with left abruptly. Now, my mum and me are stressing about whether there are enough rooms even for everyone who will want to stay there.

4) I haven’t started about 90% of my DIY projects and I’m beginning to freak out.

There are however, a few things that hopefully will be settled this weekend.

1) The cake.

2) The ceremony and reception decor.

3) The tea-light project (pictured above).

4) The Deejay.

I can’t believe it’s so near now. It seems like a dream sometimes…I’m finally getting married to HP No matter how crazy things get, I’m realizing more and more how lucky I am to have him by my side (in addition to my AMAZING family and friends, of course!).

So looking forward to the 19th May 2012

Today is exactly one month till all the festivities begin…I can’t believe it’s just a month away.

My Hen’s weekend was this past weekend and I had an amazing time! My friends went to great lengths to think of fun stuff to do as well as cool places to go. If only it could have been longer…

I didn’t really take many pictures seeing as how I was to relinquish all bossiness and let my friends dictate what I did hehe. So, I’m waiting for everyone to email me the pictures they took

In the meantime, here’s a little preview…

A little Pimms and Lemonade to kick things off

Vodka, Triple Sec and Cranberry juice = Simple Cosmo

And no Hen’s Do is ever complete without some cheekiness….

32 days to go
