The reception venue is finally booked. Finally.
Sunday March 30, 2008

Before you read my post, go read this article – Australia’s Mother Teresa. This lady is a truly inspiring woman. I only hope that in my life I can find half as much passion and courage and will as her.

We finally booked and paid the deposit on the restaurant for the reception. We were going to cut the traditional Chinese banquet down to 6 courses (from 8), but Vincent’s parents felt that it would be looked down upon by some of the guests, so we’re back at the big menu.

I have one word from my experience today – parents. Specifically mine, and if I wanted to get even more specific, mothers.

I’m sure that I will be travelling down the same road of ranting over the entire course of my life and I really should learn to let it roll off me, but I just can’t. Sigh… I can’t even find the words right now to express my frustrations.

I will move on. I must move on…

Right! Moved on. Thanks for all your comments regarding the bridesmaids dresses. I never understood the need for a bride to pick really ugly dresses for her bridesmaids to wear – talk about insecure! I wanted a dress that the girls would want to wear more than just at the wedding, and hopefully they like these dresses enough to do that.

Next I have to find a good place for the boys to get tux’s from.

So this week I will find a photographer (or at least book in appointments to meet some) and will start looking into florists. I’m worried about the flowers, because I’m not too knowledgeable and I worried I could get duped! I might drag my sister along with me =)
