oK, oK, so I should've started writing about this from the day we got engaged, 3rd November 2007, but in some way it hadn't really hit me that I had a wedding to plan, and this time, it was MY wedding. :-) Dian and Diha have been telling me for quite a few months now that I should document my wedding prep, so here I am. Better late than never, right?
Actually, right after the engagement, my parents (especially my mother), have been telling me quite a few times to start planning the wedding right away, but I told them that Gem and I didn't wanna touch it till 2008 comes around. It's almost the end of January and we have gotten around to doing some things. About 2 weeks ago, we started looking around for bridal boutiques. From all those issues of Pesona Pengantin I've been buying, it appeared that I would've been spoilt for choice in Shah Alam alone. Alas! I found only 2 places that I fancied, and between those, you couldn't say much about customer service. Before this, when I was maid of honour at my friends' weddings, somehow, we never got to checking out Shah Alam. Some places seemed oK- they had moderately attentive people attending to you, some of them had workers/owners who couldn't quite be bothered whether you were interested in their stuff or not, and very, very rarely, you'd get boutique owners or workers who'd be really enthusiastic once you entered their shop. And sometimes, even though you may have had your mind utterly set on another place earlier, this last group of people usually just change your mind completely. This was what happened to me a few days back. I'd already had my mind quite set on this one boutique in Shah Alam, owned by a rather well-known makeup artist. But when Gem and I checked out this other place quite near my house in KL, we were soooooooooooo pleasantly surprised at how attentive and enthusiastic they were about the whole affair, that we decided almost immediately that these were the people we wanted to help us with our do. We are really looking forward to the next few months of planning our day. Well, I hope Gem is as much as I am. :-)
Anyhow, aside from that, I've already done my preliminary guest list. Dian's designing the invitation cards, and God, she does a lovely job. :-)
Till the next post...

I personally think that when you choose a team of professionals, it is like choosing the best people to represent who you are. So if you've got a very welcoming and warm team helping you, they also resemble who you are as a person too :) Warm and friendly.
Can't wait to see how the result will look like! Yay!
