Final leg

8 more days to our wedding and I was telling Lloyd that I am just dying to have it over and done with. All the planning, discussions, choosing, picking, fights, arguments, fatigue, disappointment only mounted to this day and I am just so lethargic.

Lloyd says it is normal and all brides think that way. But I am sure that all this fatigue will be gone on the wedding day and I will eventually look forward to it.

Yesterday, Ah Lau and I went down to Beautiful Love for our final dress fitting and to take everything home. He was kinda mad that we were not told to put a $500 cash deposit to take the clothing away and I feel that, yah... damnit you should have told us way before too. So now, we are another $500 short and strapped for cash.

I hadn't have a chance to show you my solemnization dress. It is a short one with a very low exposed back that I couldn't remember picking it. I got a shock when I tried it on and had to call my air brush artist to show her this picture and tell her that she has to air brush more of my back (the initial plan was to air brush half) to accommodate this dress.

All in all, this has to be one of my favourite dresses because of the huge bow at that back that has a tail with it too. I love tails and bows!

At the end of the dress fitting, we did a checklist of what we have to take back and I took a look at the jewellery that they are loaning me. I asked for a long veil that touches the floor, exactly the one I had for the photo shoot with the same hair accessory, and they lend me a nice set of jewellery for the red evening gown too. 

Then, I walked 1 more round at the boutique, taking in all the beautiful dresses in their magnificent colours and bid farewell to this one last time of dress fitting and all those beautiful dresses that I would love to wear every single day but am looking forward to not ever wearing them again (pun intended)

I am every thankful for my friends Sam and Lloyd and Ah Lau's friends who are there to make everything better and easier for us. Only 8 more days to the wedding but they have already done so much for us. 

My emcee will be my good friend and buddy, Dezmond who has an amazingly beautiful voice (I only want a male emcee) and who was so ready to be host my wedding for me. 

I must say that I have been disappointed many times throughout this wedding planning journey but I also managed to see and am grateful of so many other people and loves who care so much for me to make it better. These are the true friends and I cannot express my gratitude anymore than giving them a huge ang bao. 

For instance, Lloyd did a monogram for us; a wonderful suggestion since Faber Peak has tons of TVs hanging from the ceilings, it would not be wish to keep flashing our wedding photos as our guests eat so we only have a looping video as our guests walk in and for the rest of the evening, a monogram of our name will be flashed on those TVs. 

I think the next time I update this blog would be after my wedding when Ah Lau and I are officially husband and wife. 

Meantime, gotta prepare for camp and some last minute buys like hair removing cream and stockings. 

Thanks all!
