Details, Details, Details

DETAIL WE PAID ATTENTION TO - Take-aways for the guests: Packets of plant seeds packed in jute bags (that were custom designed and ordered). Each of the bags were tagged with a little thank you note (thanks to Smith and my sister, Shabs for helping with this) and my sister also took on the painful task of attaching fabric flowers to each of the bags.

DETAIL WE DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO - Take-aways for the guests: Keeping some aside for the immediate family and friends who will not be leaving early and therefore probably will not reach the exit early enough to take one of these away.

DETAIL WE PAID ATTENTION TO - Flip-flops for the girls so they could actually throw away those painful heels and get comfortable on the dance floor, or use at the beach for the after-party.

DETAIL WE DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO - Making sure that all the baskets containing flip-flops got unloaded from the car.

DETAIL WE PAID ATTENTION TO - The suit for the groom, the dress for the bride, the ties for the groomsmen and the dresses for the bridesmaids.

DETAIL WE DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO - Bringing the rings to church. Ooops!! :P

No turning around now

On Monday the 14th of December we made this whole event official by signing the dotted line in a Government register.

First, we found a few people who would be brave enough to sign on a piece of paper to approve our marriage. (Thank you Papa, Sonia & Denzil)

Second, we found a Government official to approve our signatures. (Definition of a 'Government Official': Show up for work at 11:30am although the office opens at 9am. Then have a cup of tea and make the people wait another 30 minutes.)

Third, although this isn't necessary to the process, we even found an audience of people who were kind enough to participate although they were sweating it out to get their own bills paid and properties registered.

Now that we had all the right pieces together it was time for the signatures.

Finally...done! The footballer was very happy that I signed. :P

Overdose of Sequins

Sequins is the theme for the pre-wedding night out with my girls. With only four weeks left I was getting desperate and bought the first sequin-cy outfit I saw.

Three weeks left and I saw another which was still not good enough but I bought it cause it was better than the first one.

Two weekends left for me to leave Taipei and *VOILA* I see two things that would work brilliantly. Of course I bought them too.

My last weekend and Im walkin on the street (not looking for sequins anymore) and OMG did I find sequins or what!? Was it worth buying it? What would I do with all the sequins' outfits I have?? Well...what the hell...Im not going to do this again...lets buy it! :D Maybe I can give some away to other people who might not have any sequins outfits for the night. (Anyone need any one?)
