Helllloooooooo people of Planet Earth!

It seems like I've been gone so long, I haven't just been travelling around the world but I've gone to Mars and back.

Yes, I know it's been a long hiatus but I've been busy.

 

Anyway, from today onwards, you'll probably be listening to a lot of my ramblings on my upcoming wedding plans.

And I'm also spending most of my time working on my wedding website http://www.ewedding.com/sites/melchorandcharissa/

Don't get too excited because I'm just at the startup process and it's barely completed yet.

 

Already my next week's schedule in Sydney is jammed packed. I'm meeting with the events coordinator at Le Montage where I'm planning to have my reception. Oh and before that I have to visit this store called Truly Madly Deeply to source for materials for my wedding invitations. And then on Tuesday I'm meeting with the parish priest of St. Gabriel's church to discuss the church ceremony details. Yes, and not forgetting that someday I will have to meet with my photographer as well to work out a package.

 

I can't believe how much details and effort it takes to put together a wedding.

It's the small things like deciding which cake to have, and choosing bombonieres for my guests that all add up into something big. The pressure is on but I'm enjoying it.

The best part is, I'm trying to organising a wedding in Sydney and in Singapore while I'm sitting in front of my laptop in Dubai.

What a feat!

 

I also need to put together a bridal party. I've got the flower girl and ring bearer sorted, but I need bridesmaids. I need people whom I can trust and not someone who expects you to pay for her airticket to Sydney! Or someone who simply sends you a text which reads "take care" when you tell her your grandma passed away. *snigger* Such people are FIRED from my bridal entourage.

 

I'm just so so so glad that my wedding dress fits perfectly to a tee. And it's just so gorgeous that when I tried it on, I didn't wanna remove it after. But then again it maybe due to the fact that it takes a lot of effort to put on a big, heavy, pouffy, 10 layers of tulle wedding dress that you really don't wanna take it off just yet.

 

Anyway, mine is an ivory Vera Wang dress (and if any of you watched Bride Wars you know that you alter yourself to fit a Vera Wang and NEVER vice versa so I'm so glad no alterations are necessary here) with a lace bodice and criss cross bands on the front section with an A-line bottom that's literally layers and layers of tulle and chiffon and a chapel length train on the back.

Plus... I'm gonna be wearing a cathedral length train with it. I can only cross my fingers and pray that I don't trip and stumble and fall with all these long layers of fabric at my feet. How I'm gonna ever dance in the dress? Oh dear God... I can't answer that.

 

Till next time folks! I have a lot of planning to catch up on!
