5 months 1 week and six days until I marry my soulmate

Last Thursday I heard my fiance giving one of his friends relationship advice. He said "You've got to be Best friends. We (meaning us) are best friends and we tell each other everything"

I thought that was true and it makes it that much more exciting knowing that he feels the same way about me in this regard.

We're less than half a year in and I can't help wanting to put everything together in the one place and seeing them all together. I don't know if they go well together, but I love every single aspect of the wedding so far!

Also my 'future-mother-in-law' says we should go eat at the restaurant where our reception is to be held after she gets back from visiting her grandson in HK. I can't wait to see the venue again and would love to check it out again as I am really struggling to make this Chinese restaurant look like a western reception venue!

Theming: Peach Lace and Pearls

Okay, I know it is a little too late to be thinking about this considering logically brides decide on it first before they jet off to secure the little details that make up their wedding. Here I am, mostly done and then wondering tonight whilst browsing through SMP whether I have a common theme running through my wedding so far.

I have thought at first theming was just a colour. And mine was ivory, peach and orange.

Then I thought it was a genre and then I had chosen elegance and romance.

Later I thought it was to match with the details of my dress which I keep coming back to for inspiration (and perhaps to nurse my impatience for the wait for dress).

So, I think I have figured it out tonight. Finally.

This is it.

It was all of the above.

It was the colours, the genre, the gorgeous details.

Sighzzz... it has just always been... me.

Honeymoon

God is truly magnificent. He created the beautiful island of Kuramathi in the Maldives and this morning, I finally found the website that allows me to book the water villas! I am overjoyed!

And my fiance was so generous, he allowed me to go all out and book the best room in the resort! I ripped this off the website, but we are in for a treat:

The ultimate in Kuramathi experiences, these over the water retreats offer all creature comforts that you can wish for, combined with complete privacy.

Wedding videos rant

I have a problem. I cry at every Mass I go to and I cry at almost all the wedding videos that I watch in the name of research. Weddings make me cry. How do I ensure that I do not cry at my own wedding? This is crucial seeing that I bawl like a baby at the sight of something beautiful shared about Love, whether it is God's love or Steve's love or our parents' love.

I want to be a smiley bride, not a smeared, teary one. Well, I guess my guests will just have to bear with one real passionate bride on the day. In the meantime, I share some of my favourite pre-wedding video links:

My Lip Shade

I went shopping two weeks ago, inspired from my makeup trial to find the right lipstick for the big day.

Chanel Boy Rouge Coco Shine is a pale beige-y pink with a high shine and very soft, white micro-shimmer. It’s semi-sheer, and the fact that it’s more of a my-lips-but-better shade doesn’t yield a lot of noticeable color, but it’s pretty. Chanel describes the Rouge Coco Shine formula as a moisturizing, high-shine lipstick with a lightweight texture. The Hydratendre complex is supposed to hydrate and soften lips to give them a fuller look.

Am really excited about this as it is my first real lipstick and Boy was Coco's REAL LOVE after all...
