Big C vs The Rock

Did I mention the first thing we have surveyed, viewed, considered, gazed at or even stared at, is the wedding band? And since I have no proposal to parade with, thus it should be obvious that I do not own any sparkly rock to blind myself with.

We happened to walk into LeeHwa earlier. While the bestman browsing through what to buy for his girlfriend, I scanned the shop for jewelries that can be added to the collection for the event. After much explanation and sales talk, I set my eyes on the Destinee collection. The three of us paced up and down the shop, drank countless cups of tea, spent at least an hour.

I puppy eyed the fiance, hoping he'd change his mind about at least buying me a rock, instead he asked me if i want the rock or the big C. I struggled and chose the big C instead. Although the big C may not worth as much, but i know, we both love the design and what it signifies. I was given the option to get a rock as my engagement ring which will also be my wedding band. But I can't be possibly wearing this shiny rock everyday right. Thus, I still choose my Big C gold band. Meanwhile, I try to dig whatever diamond my mummy has.


22/05/13:  The future MIL has asked me to try on a gold bracelet with diamond. She says to ask me try it on and if it fits, she's gonna give it to me during the tea ceremony. Well, it almost fits. just have to change the hook/clasp thing and also polishing.


Seriously, I wonder who reads all these.

While other fret about all sorts of other miscellaneous stuff, my headache is about the date. There may be a little  gloomy clouds here and there but after the rain, comes the rainbow.

The auspicious date turns out not so auspicious for the both of us after all. We wanted 1/3/14 to get everything over and done with, ended up having the customary and solemnization  on 11/3/14 (Tuesday) and luncheon on a sunday. This is the date being calculated by my Shifu from Hong Kong.

With the date set, I can now:
1. Confirm date with venue coordinator.
2. Wait to file notice of marriage with Registry of Marriages.
3. Book Solemnizer.

Damage: $188
