Bad news.

We received a bad news this morning.

Some unforeseen circumstances surfaced and Audrey was unable to be our emcee for the ROM.

Both of us were taken aback by this news and at that moment in time, we were worried that we could not find anyone within such a short notice period to stand in as the rehearsal is on Sat.

The first person who came to our mind was Joo and we were confident that she will be able to do it well! I sms-ed her and was so glad that she was more than willing to lend a helping hand.

Joo, just want you to know that we really could not thank you enough for helping us out at the last minute!

Since Joo can't make it for the rehearsal on Sat, we have postponed it to 19 May, 3pm. Both of us have already taken leave for that to collect the marriage cert at the ROM in the morning.

Don't blame yourself, Audrey. We are not angry with you; we understand the predicament you are in right now. Don't worry, you are still being loved by us ok! The only thing you can do to redeem yourself is to turn up pretty on that day! :)

ROM rehearsal

Our ROM rehearsal is this coming Sat, 8 May!

I don't know what's going to happen, man!

A mixture of: Excited + Nervous + Anxiety + Anticipation

Some thoughts...

Am I being a perfectionist for my ROM? I mean, every girl would want their wedding to be perfect and memorable so, I'm definitely not exceptional.

Somehow I feel that some things are just not perfect enough, especially those customised items. I understand that when you customise something, there will be a certain degree of uncertainty in the overall outcome. This is totally different when you buy something off the rack where you buy it because you have seen how it looks like and you like it.

Why is it that they don't turn out the way I want them to be?

I mentioned in my previous posts that I felt a little disappointed with my shoes because I don't look like how I tried it on for the first time. Next was my earrings.. they didn't resemble the ones from the photo exactly and I find it a little too long. Oh, did I mention that it was heavy as well? So most probably I could not wear it for prolonged period.

So far, the most satisfied customised item has been our wedding bands of which I'm very glad for that is the most important that we will be wearing for the rest of our lives :)

Maybe I should just learn to see perfection from the imperfections.

Right now, I'm crossing my fingers for my customised ROM dress which I will pick it up on 15 May. I will call the Aunty a week before collection just to be sure everything is going on fine at her side. I'm worried after the previous unhappy episode.

Earrings

I was on leave and happened to be around the vicinity of Marina Square. Hence, I called to checked if my earrings are good for collection.

And here you go..




My super bling earrings..which they painstakingly customised it according to the photo I showed them. It took them much effort to glued the 2 strings of crystals at each side.




I paid $48 for the workmanship and materials used. In total, I spent $70 on this pair of earrings including the Swarovski crystals that I bought.




The multi-colour tear drop crystal that varies in colour under different lighting. I was just thinking if the length is too long... It looked slightly different from the photo though.

Pre-marital jittery

I'm starting to feel the jitters as it's just 3 more weeks!

Seems like a lot of things have not been settled yet.. Henry thought I was just being over paranoid which I think I am lah..

The fear of not having things falling into place on that day and possible bloopers are really causing some anxiety in me.

I guess this is what pre-marital jittery is about.

Updates

Bought the remaining decorations needed for the canvas guest boards.

Henry bought his white V-neck top from Esprit, his new found favourite clothing shop which never fails us. :)

Oh, and we have officially started to give out the invite cards to our friends yesterday! Yay!

I went to Marina Square last evening thinking that my earrings should be ready for collection. But when I was there, they were still working on it..
