So I just finished addressing all our wedding invites with the help from my absolutely marvelous, fantabulous friends last Saturday! Wheeeeee!!! We did it in only 1.5 hours.

I was so stressed that day cos Ad and I were about 2 hours late meeting them in Ann’s house. Cos we had NO idea that carting all those stuff from ikea was going to take absolute yonks! We spent a total of 4 hours in that place!!! bleh… I’m glad that’s over. Taking note of what we want to buy is sooooo not the same as actually looking for the stuff, carrying it to the checkout and to the car! Thank goodness Ad has some semblance of muscle man in him. I would have died if I were to do it alone.

We arrived in Ann’s house totally out of breath, in need of a shower and the bed. But Ann being Ann, she had nice bowls of pak koh tong sui laid out, and nice curry puffs, and nice drinks… and she bought me nice, lovely, artsy fartsy pens to write with, not the mention art wires which I intended to use as part of the card deco. (Idea scrapped cos it’s too blardy hard to do!!! Sob…)

Ann is so sweet that when we scrapped the idea of the wires etc, she pretended that she’ll be using the wires for some other things, and the pens as well, so she wouldn’t let me pay for them. I feel so bad! Cos she went shopping for me to get them!

And she is so humble and unassuming as to wonder whether I would invite her to our wedding. Duh… of the biggest order. She actually asked Ade quietly whether she would be invited cos she was planning a family holiday abroad and didn’t want to miss our wedding. And when she took a peep at my guest list and couldn’t find her name (she was looking at the wrong list), she felt even worse.

Oh dearie me… isn’t she the absolute funniest / adorable-st. To think she is offering us her home to be the venue for my hens’ party / sleepover, she’s part organising it esp the menu (popiah and sushi), and she’s helping me with the wedding preparations… and she actually thinks I’m not going to invite her. **Sob** How can I not invite her? I just love her! She makes my day especially since she takes all our corny, mean jokes so seriously. It’s such a laugh teasing her.

I am just touched and humbled by how supportive and helpful my friends have been. Planning our wedding has been one of the best fun so far. I say so far.. cos I know the RSVPs are gonna kill me.

Having so much love and support for your big day is really overwhelming. I wonder what I've done to deserve all this. I really don't actually.

Busy at work: Addressing envelopes, stuffing cards into envelopes, sealing them (Ad's talent); Ann is busy getting us food so she's not in the picture

Some of our wonderful helpers at our 1st 'wedding committee' meeting. i'm so embarrassed!! i have a committee!!
