I will start with the most eventful activity first:
Wedding Party Social June 19
Yes, we finally all got to meet together for the first time. Some of them have seen each other once upon a time in the past, and some met for the first time. It was really nice to have everyone together, from near and far. Tinger was actually going to go vegas that day, but thank goodness her bf decided to come instead, which was fine b/c I finally got to meet him. The original plan was to go to Ruby's in downtown Monrovia, but it closes at 10pm. So, i randomly chose Paco, on 2nd and foothill, about 5 mins away from our house. It was OK...all I really cared about was the nachos - i really am NOT a mexican food fan. These are just awesome people, great individuals who do great things.
After dinner, we went back to our hut and tried on the bridesmaid dresses......they loook gorgeous on everyone...=)
Wedding Dress
I had my eye on this dress for a very long time now....and finally got to try it on. It was brilliant with an awesome price tag. Except, i got it the day the taxes were increased, so it wasnt so attractive anymore. thank you everyone for voting for the 1/2 cents tax.
But i love it, and I can't wait to get the final custom gown. I wanted to show Mr. Tang so bad, but the golden rule is to not show him until the wedding day. But honestly, which groom really cares anyways! All the bride is going to be the most beautiful on their wedding day....always always, it's really true. I mean, with a professional makeup artist, how can you not be!!!!
We went to a couple weddings over the last two weeks. They were just fabulous, simply magical. I hope our wedding would make our guests leave with a happy thought..that's all I want. After those weddings, I was plotting our wedding to be different and perhaps better....and I kinda got out of hand, a little crazy. So out of hand that Mr. Tang had to shake me up and said, who cares about the dance, the little things, all it matters is that I am there. It would be a total disaster if I didnt show up. He was right, and he would totally be deep DEEEP trouble if he didnt show up. GRRR.
So I have been thinking, the best part about weddings, is truly the planning part. I love love it. It's great to make something happen together, with your lifetime partner. Sure, we have our whole lives to "plan" our lives together, but we have been doing that since day 1, since 12 yrs ago. Looking back, we did a great job on bringing together to this day. I still remember n number of yrs ago....i was dreading this day for many reasons. In life, you make choices everyday. Some are good, some are ok, some are just straightout wrong and bad choices. In my life, I have made plenty of bad ones, and of course, the best one.
