Somewhere over the rainbow…

Anniversary

It’s our 12th anniversary, not ROM, or marriage, but counting from the day we started dating. Time flies!

Again, I won’t be getting any present from hubby who thinks that making money is more important than spending it. Blek…

Anyway, we are trying our best in getting our place here, so his reason is justified. Good for me too as I don’t have to crack my head looking for the perfect gift nor any travel gifts for men. Hubby is perfectly fine without getting any presents from me for donkey years. LOL!

Did I mention that my mom loves the condo and the house I’ve shortlisted? The only problem now is paying either one in CASH.

Any sponsor here? LOL!

This sponsored post is written by Sado.

Having a memorable and wonderful wedding is the wish of every bride. New couples are always busy before their wedding. There are a lot of things they need to consider, like finding a wedding site, choosing wedding attire, preparing gifts, etc. Buying the wedding dress is always an exciting thing. If you want to get some useful tips on selecting your wedding gown and dresses for your wedding, please read this article on.

When buying the bridal gown for your special day, take your wedding venue and wedding theme into account. Think about whether you are going to have a beach wedding or church wedding. Generally speaking, outdoor ceremonies held on the beach or in the garden calls for casual wedding dresses. This type of gowns have simple designs and usually have short lengths, such tea length and knee length. For brides who are planning a formal wedding, for example, a ceremony held in the church, floor length gowns are popular choices to finish that elegant look. No matter what kind of dress you choose, make sure it compliments your wedding theme.

When buying a gorgeous wedding dress that flatters your figure, keep your body type in mind and find a fabulous style that can accent your best parts and hide your bad parts. Wedding dresses comes in many different designs to compliment different body shapes. For busty brides, v neck bridal gowns look very flattering on them. On the contrary, if you are a bride with small bust, stay away from dresses with v-shaped necklines, strapless gowns with empire waist are great choices to enhance your look. If you have good-looking butt and thighs, pick a mermaid wedding dress style. If you want to hide these parts, A-line wedding dresses will help you do the trick.

Pregnant brides today also can look their best on the wedding reception. Maternity wedding dresses are specially designed to accommodate beautiful pregnancy curves. These gowns help pregnant brides appear charming by showing their natural body curves. Most of them are made from high quality fabrics to ensure great comfort. Maternity wedding gowns can be found despite whatever your stage of pregnancy is. Pregnant brides today also can order their wedding gowns from the internet.

When buying dresses for your bridesmaids, bear in mind to choose styles that compliments your wedding dress. Besides, take the sizes of your bridesmaids into account when selecting a style or styles for them. The bridesmaid gowns you choose should make your bridesmaids feel comfortable and fit perfectly with your wedding. Online stores are great sources to find chic and comfortable bridesmaid dresses. Some of them are sold at less than $100.

Remember to choose suitable dresses for your flower girl. When buying such a dress, white color is always a popular option.

Wedding Insurance

To me, planning for a wedding is a lot of work. That’s why we have wedding planners and it’s best to let the expert do all the job. I really admire those who can plan an oversea wedding, such as those held in Bali or some pretty island. I’m not sure if they did all the planning by themselves, but if it’s me, I will surely hire a wedding planner for it! That is too much work.

Nowadays, you can also get wedding insurance to further secure your wedding, just in case something goes wrong on your big day, and with a wedding insurance, maybe you will be compensated. Even overseas wedding insurance is available too.

I think getting a good photographer is the most important aspect in a wedding. I didn’t know much about this last time, so my wedding day photos are pretty boring. I can’t even remember the last time I saw that album! I hope that it’s still around in the our Ipoh house. LOL!

Jewelry

 I like jewelry, but I hardly wear any. I have a few accidents of scratching my kids’ with my rings and bracelets, so I seldom wear them on normal days. Most of the jewelry is kept in the safe deposit box at the bank back home. And I wonder if hubby remembers to pay for the coming deposit fee as it’s due in December!

Hubby doesn’t know much about giving me gifts so he would rather play safe by giving me jewelry. LOL! I’m not sure if he choose the designs by himself, or just ask the help from holsted jewelers. Anyway, I don’t mind much about the designs as long as he gives me something on special days. LOL!

It’s Our Anniversary…But..

I was out for long hours yesterday over some personal issue, so I had so much to do today. It’s a busy morning for me as hubby was out to visit some customers while I had to prepare some documents. There was so much to be done! And as I was busy typing, I checked on the calendar to verify today’s date. It’s 9th September. Wow, what a nice date, I told myself. Then I got busy typing…and typing… and typing… and chatting…

And suddenly, I remembered!!! Today is our anniversary! Hubby and I got registered on 9th September 2003, I think. Gosh, I’m so lame at remembering dates.

Sh*t, I can’t remember it…

Double sh*t, he can’t remember it…

Triple sh*t, I didn’t prepare anything for him…

More sh*ts, he didn’t buy me pressie or wish me Happy Anniversary!!! 

OMG!!!

One blur man

+

One forgetful wife

= 

One super-blur-and-forgetful couple who can’t remember their anniversary!

Pss….I smsed him and he replied that he had just remembered our anniversary by noon, at about the same time I did. At least we can still remember by today. LOL!

10 Years Next Year

Hubby and I have been together for 9 years now and we supposed to go to Hawaii on our 10 years anniversary. He promised me a nice trip to Hawaii when we were dating, but he only remembered this last year after a “friendly” reminder from me.

I know that he’s working hard for a better future by moving to Bangkok, and we need a lot of money for this plan. I don’t think we have the budget for a fancy honeymoon in the near future, so I can forget about the trip to Hawaii now. Hubby never mentioned anything about it either, maybe he’s forgotten about it again or he’s pretending that the promise never exists?

Anyway, I don’t really mind if we can’t make it next year as long as he gives me a unique anniversary gift. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, but please don’t give me flowers anymore. I have had enough of flowers every Valentine’s Day, and I hope to receive something like shares of stocks that will bring me lots of money in the future other than flowers!

If you are wondering if I’m preparing anything for him, yes I am. I am knitting a vest for him, but due to the numerous knitting projects for my kids, I keep putting the vest aside. However, I made up my mind of not buying any yarn balls until I’ve completed his vest. That sounds fair enough huh?

Flowers or Not?

I love flowers, that’s why hubby keeps sending me flowers on special days. However, he’s also using it as an excuse of not buying other gifts because it’s not hard to get flowers anywhere. Maybe he doesn’t need to impress me with 999 stalks of roses to me, so it has never crossed his mind to buy wholesale roses before.

Frankly, the bouquet of roses he got me on Valentine’s Day is rotting somewhere in the house. It’s a waste but it’s better than not getting anything on special days. Besides that, I have had enough of perfumes too! So dear, keep sending the flowers, but make sure there are other gifts attached to them.

Wedding Website

I have to start getting back to knitting again because I want my kids to have new knit wears for a wedding dinner in March. Our neighbor is getting married and she’s going to have her wedding at the hotel. She gathered lots of Wedding Ideas and wedding resources from searching for them on the internet. She even told me that there’s a website for Malaysian Brides!

Maybe the website was not available at time I planned for my wedding. Anyway, no one wants a second wedding, so I don’t have to check out the information anymore! But if you are planning for yours, check out the website, ok?
