Flowers... expensive flowers

My sister and I went to see a florist yesterday to cost out the flowers we need for the wedding. This is our list:

• 1 Brides bouquet
• 3 Bridesmaid bouquet
• 1 Grooms Boutonniere
• 3 Groomsman Boutonniere
• 2 Groom's Grandmothers Corsages
• 2 Groom's Grandfather Boutonnieres
• 1 Groom's Mother Corsage
  
• 1 Bride's Mother Corsage
• 2 Bride & Groom Siblings (Corsages)
• 2 Bride & Groom Siblings (Boutonnieres)

It will cost me approx. $500 dollars.. I need to go to a couple more places to check out prices.

We WON...

I am sure I have complained to a lot of people about my closing date is two days over our mortgage approval period for the lower rate. Brian and I took a gamble and didn't lock in a new rate hoping that we can negotiate a 2 days earlier closing.. We had been waiting to hear back from the seller and yesterday, our agent emailed Brian and told him that the seller could close earlier!! woohooo... I think we saved 4000 over 5 years..(just the money we had estimated for pot lights lol...) I am just going to think that we got free pot lights for the house hahahaha

Invitations 80% completed...

Brian Amy and I spent the whole night stuffing envelops for my wedding invitation.. after five hours of hard work and a whole bunch of confusion.. we finally got 80% of the invitations ready. Woohoooo!!!

There is definitely an art to addressing people.. we had to redo all our oversee invitations because they were address the female of the family which is a big nono.. after calling my grandparents whom gave my parents a huge lesson on what to do lol... o and apparently, the invitation should be sent out or addressing family members from my dad.. cuz apparently its my dad that is suppose to be sending out invitations!

well.. we all got SKOOLED!!

cleaning...

so instead of trying to put together our wedding invitations, we spent a whole weekend packing up my room and painting. The entire basement is full of boxes (I am amused at how much crap I can pack into my room lol...) I should have taken a before picture... but I must say, my room looks amazing right now. It looks like how it was 10-15 years ago before I had money to buy anything of my own lol.. I guess I had accumulated quite the treasure/junk over the years.

Whats next on my wedding plan hmm..

1. WEDDING INVITATIONS... (its coming... really)
2. Florist... need to do some shopping around NOW
3. DIET ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... this is proven to be quite challenging argh..
   

Invitations are here!

We finally got all the items we had purchase in our HK Trips. We got our invitations the past weekend. We really should get moving on them since ppl are suppose to RSVP by September 1st or something Yikes!

I need to get my website done soon! o... Brian and I picked the song that we will be dancing to for our first dance. I am still trying to find Yiruma music.. I think that would be good music to play at the cocktaill reception.

I have to admit there are quite a bit of work thats involve with buying a house and getting married at the same time.. and to make this more interesting, my parents decided to renovate the house NOW which means I have to pack up my room for them to paint and repolish the hardwood flooring.

Man.. I need 48 hours day.

new finds... :D

I saw a really good deal on DVD Home Theater Systems at Costco's website today. Its 269.99, a discount for over 200 dollars. =) hmm.. home theater systems is not on my must buy list but it seems like its such a good deal.. we do need a dvd player... hmm.. thoughts?

Are we behind?

I am starting to think that my wedding planning is beginning to slip. My invitations is coming any minute right now but my website is far from finish? argh... I really need to work on that this weekend. I found this wedding planning book and it has a very useful list of things that i need to plan out for the wedding.. Its really helpful cuz I never thought about music lol.. like our entrance music, first dance, song to play during ceremony, reception =P need to really get on some of those outstanding taskssss!

We just got our wedding invitations from Gabe and Maggie yesterday woohoo... Wedding in September! so exiting!!! I hope they are not as behind as us =P

looking forward to the future....

things have not really gone the way I wanted this year...but I am looking forward to the wedding & post wedding when Winnie & I will be starting our journey together.

hope things will go well for this year ...

Thanks for the support baby!
