inspired

part 1

yesterday was an interesting day.. never knew shopping could be so fun ! am truely inspired by ppl who are passionate about thier work, who love art, who has great business sense and who truely want to provide a from of service. I think truely think that these ppl are gems.

am very inspired by the lady who spoke to us at Fairy's Inc. She has given me new meaning to the word marriage. I get the feel from her that it is not some 'money making' opportunity but rather it is about the union of two ppl and there is a real need to have something special and meaningful. That special thought, feeling is often lost.

many times in our business, in our crazy cycle of work , we forgot the true purpose of a marriage. i am really glad that through this journey of searching and planning for our big party , we met ppl like her who helped us to make meaning of this big day. to remind us what is so special. to allow us to feel that fuzzy feeling again. after all it only happens once in our life.

photos. the search for the bridal shop and photography has just started. am not relly a person who is extremely particular about my gown. i seem to like most bridal gowns from different boutiques.

this is when the thought strike me . shouldnt photo taking and bridal gown/ suit selection be decisions that we make seperately? instead of having everything bundled together?
unfortunately i guess it is only market savy to have bridal shops tie in with photographers.

loved the pictures done by travis ong. loved the emotions , loved the expression, loved the mood. that's what a picture should do and 'say' to someone who sees it. i hope to have pictures who say a thousand words. pictures who tell a story . not just some table top picture but a picture with words. lovely

suddenly it screams to me; budget !
am just glad that dd is in this with me. he has been really patient over my gown changes or maybe i had low expectations of his tolerance level for this keke :)

i guess when it comes to budget , we are just a bunch of ppl who are just not at the stage of our lives to ask for the cake and eat it. something has to go .. in this case i am glad i've made a few important decisions during our search this weekend. photographes and rings as they are for us to keep.

i am glad the journey thus far has been so meaningful : ) am thankful
