the search still continues...

I think planning a wedding is like having a new born baby. They both suck the life you once had away from you. After the engagement had settled in, we have been thinking about the wedding every waking moment (or even in my dream). Yet, it's kind of weird. I can't describe it as one big headache, but rather a string of little ones. At first we were worry and anxious to decide on a date, thinking that the rest will be a breeze as long as the date is set. Once the date is set, we realized picking a location is even worst of a task. Competing with god knows how many couples for the same date, and has to find a place that we actually like and fit into our budget. Yet, we think that once the location is picked, everything will be a breeze. I have my fingers cross on that one.

Even though life has been stressful, I do come to a realization that i'm quite lucky (not necessary to others benefits). I think i have already found "the dress" given I've really went looking in total of 1 weekend, now i just have to hackle the price down. As for brides maid dresses, it would of been quite a challenging task since 2 out of 3 of my girls are half way around the world. But luck prevail as they all conveniently are able to meet up with each other to shop for their dresses on my behalf. Next is my wedding venues, due to the distance we are faced with, he is force to take on most of the planning responsibilities. That only means a little less for me. Thanks and sorry everybuddy!!

Location, location, location...

As I look in the big scheme of planning a wedding, there's really nothing much to it. Most importantly is to find the location for the ceremony and dinner reception. The rest is just small details. But right now, we...well..more like just me..is stressing to find the perfect place for both ceremony and dinner reception. How can something so easy, yet can be so hard. Vancouver got the everything nature has to offer..but why can't they have more cool reception venues to choose from. *sigh* so the search continues.....
