♥ Part & Parcel of my Life ♥

Weet! Just finished reading a 40-pages document. Got to give my eyes a well deserved short break for 15 mins as it is now 15 mins to lunch time.

Last night, Darling made me really, really happy. The news he brought to me through the phone made me exceptionally exhilerated that I was literally screaming in joy. Remembered previously I have mentioned in one of my posts that I was very frustrated with finding a venue for the banquet and the solemnization. I mentioned that when I found the venue, I had no date to commit. When I had the date to commit, the place which I like was fully booked for all the ballrooms. I was really feeling very down those few days.

After much discussion with my mum and Darling (of course!), we have come to a conclusion of not holding it on a weekend (i.e. Fri, Sat or Sun), we will hold the dinner on a weekday as we really have no other choice and way out if we want to settle it within the Rat year.

Finally, decided on the venues for both the solemnization and banquet. Got all the agreements on hand ready to go and place the deposit. For the solemnization venue, Darling went to speak to the coordinator on his own without me as we could not find a common time whereby the coordinator is free to meet up with us. So Darling went last night with my questions.

Basically, I had a whole list of questions to ask and also a whole list of items to bargain for. Darling got all the items I wanted to bargain for, all at NO additional cost! Yay!!! Best of all, he brought me the news that they are able to hold our banquet as well although we do not have the capacity to fill their minumum no. of tables. However, I am holding back because I feel apologetic for the previous coordinator of another hotel. She has been very nice to us, booking dates tentatively for us etc. Feels quite bad if I do not give her the deal. Well, it's a competitive industry. Darling says it's perfectly fine for us to reject her.

Anyway, tonight I will be meeting up with the coordinator to see what she has to offer us. Another big round of bargaining, asking for FOC items etc. Let's see if she's able to give me everything I want again. I really hope she'll do wonders for me. Such a happy problem - having to decide between hotel A and hotel B.

Meanwhile, I have been trying to do up a blog for Darling and me, so we can post up the process of our wedding planning etc. However, I have been having problems with the blog skin I want. Let's see if Darling is able to solve the problem or is it that the blog skin has problems on its own in the first place? Once up, you all can see how wonderful and sweet it is to plan your own wedding. Sometimes, I even feel like changing my occupation to be a wedding planner.

-=The amount of sweetness you fill me with is unmeasurable. I love you Darling!=-
