Urgh, I nearly had a heart attack when MN text-ed me earlier; 'They say the ring will only be ready by tomorrow'.

I'm so gonna sue c'est si bon if it is. Luckily the ring magically appeared after MN told him that he's gonna get his money back and the ring for free, in case the ring isn't gonna be ready as promised.

Merisik is on Saturday. I have a lot more to tell but I have a handful of work to do at the office.

I hate quick updates. Even more if I have to write one.

Anyhoo, I'm so so happy that we finally found a very very beautiful engagement dress that I like. Totally pleased with the triumph after a lot of hassle and scratching heads. A lot of people will be helping out for the day; I really hope Matt could help to bring along my cuppycakes.

I'll end this entry on the 6th line.

I found a totally lovely engagement dress in Ampang which I love a lot!

I've been scouting for a few other places but so far, this is the best I could get in KL plus its affordable.

A few hantaran stuff have been bought and mom is all ready to pour her creativity in making them. Our theme is whimsical magic in pastel colors. Dont know how it will turn out though. I've ordered the cupcakes from Ellie who baked a dozen for my birthday last year. There's a surprise on it for MN and Ellie promised to help me with it. Thank you, sweetie!

Also, I'm done with the engagement invitation. I shall post it up for viewing later.

Looks like i'm going to have three rings - merisik, engagement and wedding. Heard that he's gonna get it straight from the manufacturer and specially designed.

That's a quick update for you!

Yay!

The date is set and i'm waiting for the last confirmation so that I could really work on other stuff i.e invitations, hantaran, this and that and really focus. Trying to settle the date can be distracting at times!

A friend of mine suggested that we hop on the jet-plane and go to San Fransisco to shop for wedding stuff. Ah, how I wish! It would be great coz I can try to find really cheap wedding dress over there :P

MN and I are going to do a little scout after work to look for a dress to wear on our engagement day. Have no idea what to wear, what kind of design, what kind of fabric but I'm sure we can figure things out once we look at the choices.

Weehoo!

Finally got the mood and also the time to write in. Probably just a quick update.

MN and I went around shopping yesterday for our engagement ceremony. We still have approximately two months before the actual date (which is not even confirmed yet) but already mom's keeping us busy with the preparation.

Honestly, I wasn't mentally prepared for this even though I am very very excited with the whole thing. I'm dealing with a lot of pressure from work and life, generally and I believe MN is getting nervous as well, that I'm beginning to think: everything is super tight for us right now - time and money most definitely.

But MN assure me that everything is going to be just fine. I dont know how he does it but he seems pretty calm despite the bombarding matters that arise.

First, we have to pick a very suitable date for the engagement to fit in everyone's hectic schedule, including our own. Most probably the ceremony will happen end of December but we just got a call for another shoot yesterday that might clashes with our chosen date. And MN's mother will be busy with accounts and my sister is flying to Australia and and lots of shoots to be done.

We bought our first item for hantaran already, yay for that! We chose kain for baju nikah, which is going to be a part of the hantaran from both our side.

And being wedding photographers, we have seen more than enough to know what theme and color to choose! LOL. Talking about the perks.

So we decided to break the tradition. No whites for akad nikah.

And yea, most of the stuff that we picked was based on 'whats gonna look good in the picture?'

:P

Back to the fabric, i really like the color that we chose and it suits my skin perfectly well. Its lace by the way. Its just a simple design with little flowers on the top and the patterns get heavier at the bottom. I'm gonna find a really really great tailor who will know how to work on the patterns and layers. I'm still thinking of the design - kebaya or kurung?

MN told me that he has two surprises for our wedding. Hmm, I wonder what it is.

Dang, looking at our list....we have lots more to face before the engagement! But it's gonna be good. Its gonna be good.

Sent out the little happy news to some of our close friends. Thanks everyone for all the warm, happy, funny wishes! You guys made me smile all day now!

Is this blog too clean?

So i've decided to open up another blog to document the journey towards my big day with MN. I was so excited when I received an email from him telling that his dad was all happy when he heard of our plan.

Our engagement is still a big hush.
Nobody knows except for a few best friends of mine.
And of course our family.
And cats.

It is sooooo public that i did not dare to blog about this happy news there.
This is something very personal for us.

But already we have received two sponsorships :P
A wedding gown.
And a special home-made cake for hantaran.

Isn't it lovely?
I cant wait!

xoxo
