I am thanking God, that there is already a very good solution this morning. Praise God! So, as I was told, the wedding invitations should be finished by Monday, which means, next week I will be busy sending the invitations to the right addresses and places!
Today, I already bought the 'thank you' gifts for those who are helping Lan, my family and I in organising this wedding. It took so much time and brought headache to me for the rest of the day, but... it had to be done, no choice!
The news about our wedding has been spread out! And, as I expected already, it becomes a gossip, an explosion and a top news (hahaha) everywhere; around my parents' friends, my parents' family and relatives. Maybe, they never expected me to get marry so quickly that some of them even became angry because we hid the plan ever so perfectly hahaha...
Oh well, it's out in the news, that REALLY means, I am eager to get married to my beloved Lan. And I am seriously devoting myself for this unendless relationship. And I am excited everytime I think about it. :)
Thank you, Lord, for this joy in my heart.
Invitation cards: solved!
Invitation cards: disaster!
Today, after waiting for days, about 15 out of 200 invitations I reserved were sent to my house. I liked it; the colour (I thought it will be a bright red, however it became a soft orangy red, which is quite nice to go with the shiny yellow paper!), the layout and the design. I was satisfied...Until, after the person who is in charged went home and I rechecked line by line, character by character! And I found out that there is a HUGE mistake! They wrote my Chinese name all the way around! It supposed to be 连雪莉 but they wrote 利连雪!!! I was furious, to be honest! It has became a disaster, since all the 200 invitations are already printed out, only waiting for the finishing touch (folding, gluing, etc...). Oh God...
Well, I am stressed out again all of the sudden. Let's just pray that we will find the best way to solve this problem, because reprinting 200 pieces of invitations is not cheap at ALL!
I'm stressed! I'm stressed! Jesus, be with me...
Met the artist 2!
Today, I met with the lady that will do my make up and hairdo. I showed her my wedding dresses, so that she can decide on the best hairstyle for me on the wedding day and also the length of my veil, since it will be handmade by Ce Dewi.
Tomorrow, she will start the facial treatment on me and give me some options for the hairstyles that she'll think about tonight. At the same day, Ce Dewi will take my wedding dress to her house to replace the old beads with the news ones so it looks better. So, things are taking places faster now. The invitations are almost ready, so hopefully, next week, we can start sending the invitations to the guests.
I become very busy now... With 3 times a week Mandarin lessons (@ approx. 3 hours each time), I am really having difficult times adjusting my brain and learning as much as I can, plus trying to do the homework that are not that little!
Pray that I can cope with everything that I have to do! :D God bless!
Sweet News!
His arrival date to Bali has been set! He has sent me the flight details, which also means that he already BOUGHT the tickets! I am very very glad to receive the news! And, another day counter should be set; for his arrival day! After so many months not seeing him (ever since middle of October 2006), my heart is pounding fastly to the day he arrives!
Monday, 25 June 2007 @ 12.05 p.m., will be the time where I'll meet him again and for the journey of union starts!
It's less than two months now... Lately, I have found myself thinking a lot about this wedding (such a huge change in my life). This is the fact that I found about marriage...
Marriage is not one-hundred-percent of happiness, really...
The reality is that...
There are things that you have to leave behind,
There are things that you gain while stepping forward into the new beginning.
Once, you belong to a family.
Now, you own your own family.
It's a kingdom that both of you, your partner and you, have to build to be strong, full of love, peace and joy.
Family, a kingdom that imparts the joys of Heaven in Earth.
