Informing the Families

What do you do before you even start to plan? We need to inform our families. My Darling Sze informed his family first and they suggested that we get a date chosen. Our preference was for either November 2007 or May 2008.

One morning, before taking my shower, I had a chat with Fiona, my elder sis. Somehow, I managed to blurb out the wedding news. She was surprised and discouraged me from getting married now (she wanted me to wait till after 2 years). However, I informed her that the decision had already been made.

I called my Mom the same day and gave her the news too. Mom thought that a year-end wedding was way too long to wait for (it was April when I told her then). This was because she said that she could arrange a wedding in just a few months time! I didn’t believe that and I’m glad I didn’t listen to her as it was not easy just to find a suitable dinner venue.

My Mom then informed my Godmother. Thankfully, Godmom was pretty excited upon hearing the wedding news.

Well, I was definitely not that young anymore when we decided to tie the knot. Maybe my sis just didn't like me to jump queue? Haha...

Or it could probably be that she was planning for her own wedding soon and thus my wedding would get in the way. Now she'll have to wait a 'lil longer as the Chinese believe there can't be 2 weddings from the same family in the same lunar year.
