Venue, Ring & Suit

Last weekend was eventful.

18/3 Saturday - We went to check out the venue for the dinner reception. Actually we've been wanting to check it out with our Wedding Coordinator for some time now, but the dates kept clashing so finally we agreed on 18/3/2006. The wedding was about to begin when we arrived so we quickly whizz through the entrance and made our way to the side, in case people thought we were here for the wedding.
Our attentive glaze often caught unwanted attention as people were curious as to why we were there. We tried as much as possible to move away from public view so as to not disturb them. Anyway we towards the other side and manage to get a good view of the proceedings. The manager was kind enough to ask us whether we needed any assitance and showed us around other facilities. Vans & I were pretty impressed by the ambience, surroundings, decoration and service of the entire place.
20/3 Monday - We submitted our forms to the National Registration Department (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) for processing and booked 10th July 2006 as the day for our wedding registration. Both of us took leave for the day and had planned to use it to the max. We then met up with Vans' make-up artist to discuss the make-up, hairdo and other details. She seems very confident and her client list was long as she has been in the business for 8 years. We decided to book her services for our wedding day so we paid some deposit up front.

We went to Midvalley after that for some shopping and boy we were in for a surprise. We never expected to buy anything when we ventured into a jewelry shop but the kind and patient sales person took time to show us different designs and gave us huge discounts. So that helped us in making our decision to buy our wedding band there and then. Vans' said I couldn't put up our actual ring here, so I have to make do with a picture of a ring rather than OUR ring. So for those that are curious, come on the actual day and you'll get a glimpse of it. Nothin out of this world but its something that is meaningful for both of us.


The surprise didn't end there as I too bought a suit for myself, one that I've been eyeing for years, literally years. So we've spend quite a bit on this trip alone, but its all for the big day. Its better to spread out our spending rather than have it all towards the final few weeks of month before. We kind of enjoy this experience, as we always knew we were going to purchase these items but never did set a date for it :)
