according to my checklist, i'm only supposed to buy the wedding bands like 6 months before the wedding. however, we got our quite early... in feb this year.
firstly, we wanted the rings in time for our pre wedding photoshoot in taiwan in may.
secondly, i heard stories about how people needed like 3 months to engrave / change the sizes of the ring...
thirdly, gold prices are increasing by the day! and the bands that we are eyeing are getting more and more expensive. this is because they use yellow gold as the base, and then plate the white gold over it... hence when gold prices rise, the cost of rings increase too.
we were deciding between the design at meyson and one from the diamond atlier. in the end we decided to go with the meyson one as it has a row of diamonds, as opposed to TDA's which is a tiny until cannot tiny diamond (its even smaller than my engement ring's side diamond!)
our bands. it's wavy, which makes it really unique. mine has a row of diamonds on onw of the wavy part. :)
when i wear both rings together on the same finger
as both rings are bought from the same shop, they fit really perfectly together :) which will enable me to wear both my engagement and wedding ring on the AD. but i would believe that after the wedding i shall only wear my engagement ring out on special occassions. we dun want the diamond to be scratched do we!
love you too :)
The deed was done on 27 nov 11, a very eventful day and build up to it! haha!
I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later as we bought my ring together at meyson sometime in October or september.. saw the design some months back but we were still hesitating and still looking at other designs, when i feel that there won't be another design that i like better than this. so we got the design. however, the one that we wanted was already sold out and we have to get one of a different size. same setting though.. :)
a gorgeous 0.4 carat, with 6 small diamonds on each side :)
Bb is also wearing his engagement bracelet, which i got from citigems for him. hehe
ok so, the plan was that we shall go to batam to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary, and the hotel suite was booked long before.. and i remember i was in the midst of booking our ferry tickets when he suggested that we shall not go to batam afterall.
the reason was that we should save the money instead, and that our parents should meet to talk about our impending wedding plans (we brought up the wedding thing to our parents even before the ring was given to me. also, they knew that we have gotten a HDB flat in oct, after we applied for it in aug). so i understood the reason behind and canceled the room and all.
then he told me that his fren - johann - needs help for his school project. it was a photography project and he would require models - a couple - to pose for him. so johann approached bb and me to help. i was like alright, should be quite fun, and was telling bb wahh just nice we decided not to go for the trip, if not we also wun be able to help his fren!
so closer to the shoot date, bb was telling me that the story board is of a couple getting together, and the locations that we will be going to may be like cable car or singapore flyer. so i was asking him why did the fren choose locations that need to pay money de? cos places like henderson waves / hort park can take equally nice photos ah, and so he said that he will discuss with his fren lor.. and ohh... he mentioned something like his fren will pay us for this modelling thingy, which i totally went huh?? frens helping out each other no need to pay ppl money la.. just maybe give a treat, and maybe pay for the props that he might require can le..
then an idea came about to me... bb can use the ring as a prop. and that would make a nice pic too right? hahahahaha
so a day before the shoot, bb came and pick me up from office for dinner at TCC at anchorpoint and presented me with flowers! gorgeous red roses! :) so i asked him if its for me to keep or after using it as a prop must return as its supposingly paid for by johann right?
and bb said that i could keep. HAHAHA
so anyways, on the day itself, we woke up early, went to tpy and picked johann up and went to sentosa and started snapping away.. this is one of the many photos that we took that day
love the colour of the sun, sand and sea!
loved every bit of it, except maybe for the ultra hot weather. we took the cable car in to sentosa and took photos at the imbia and the beach. and on the cable car back to harbour front, bb told me that the photoshoot was a lie and that johann was actually here as a favour to him to capture the moment when he propsoed to me.. and he took out the ring and placed it on my finger.
oh wow!!!
but it was really not that romantic.. i kinda forgot to say that i didnt believe him and was seriously doubting him as this was my suggestion for johann's project remember?
but bb kept saying that its real, and that i can keep the ring and wear it everyday now for he's giving it to me... and then i believed him.. SO I GOT ENGAGAED JUST LIKE THAT!!!
though it wasnt the most romantic i must say, its something that he planned out for me and i do appreciate the thought he put into it :)
and so we went tell people that we want the tatty teddy wedding dolls as an xmas present!
for the car :) its so going to be gorgeous lor!
we got a dog!!!
this was sometime back on 9 april - a male mini schnazuer whom we named Teddy!
one of the first photos that we took of him! :)
bought him from a home breeder and our hands are so full of him!
Poor chap was initially kicked out from my home cos mum didnt like him.. so we had to put him at xiami's parents place - who didnt like him either at first... but now they are ok le!
we had a pretty trying period then, cos teddy wasnt toilet trained, and was peeing and pooing everywhere. he got it just before we left for our taiwan trip, but forgot when we came back. pick it up back again, but forgot it when xiami went to malacca and he ha to go back to my place. prob its because we keep bringing him around, making him confused. poor doggy.
such a mess!
anyways, he's happier now i guess.. sometimes in the morning we will let him up on our bed to snuggle up to us when we hit the snooze button and sleep for 15mins more. haha. such an adorable boy, the only down side is that he barks when left alone (lonely i supposed), and that he doesnt really know how to pee and poo in the toilet, which we are trying to make him remember once more.
but, once he can go out (on 5th june), we shall bring him outsides and hopefully he will pee and poo on grass, then it will be way easier. the poor pooch whines and barks when we have to leave him alone - to go work, or to go out buy food and it really makes us miss him loads when he does that..
anyways, now all i look forward to do is to go home from work (for most of the days) to play with him.. hehe
maybe some things will never change.
like me forsaking this blog like always. and after months or even years, iwill decide to come back, only to leave it yet again.
Maybe it will be like that once more, but i decided that if i do not keep a wedding blog (or something that might resemble a wedding blog), i would prob
a) cannot keep track of plans
b) cannot remember much of the wedding planning process
c) wonder why i didnt keep one back then. afterall, marriage is a once in a lifetime thing right? :)
so after broswing through some wedding blog websites, i realised that im still confortable with my very own neglected blog here... so i shall try to update as frequently as i can, and to catch up with lost time.
hehe.. im back!
So much for a happy birthday Saturday, May 1, 2010
So much of emaotions, feelings, thoughts, but no where to hold.
The heart is empty, disappointed, and losing its last sheds of hope.
Guess this is more severe than PMS, probabally this is what they meant by mid life crisis.
Am starting to feel that there really nothing worth living for here. How do you get the thnigs that you want? What are you fighting for?
Chance upon his ROM photos last night while surfing and realised that he was really serious with her. From the photo albums, they were together for at most what? 1.5 to 2 years max. And was enough to make he realised that she was the one for him? To the extend of using all her photos to make up his msn background.
Guess that was enough to make the heart go into VF twice over. But as with all things, am sure I will be able to get over it soon.
It makes me feel sad to hear of people getting together. Him getting married, Junn having a child, Jem also soon to come. Happy for them yes, but it just makes me think on my life instead. When will I be able to find that special someone who is able to take care of me?
