OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment Published at 22:4022:4046 comments46 comments70 Visits70 VisitsReport

OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

I just called the Church that me and Lawrence want to get married at..
And I asked the secretary some questions (let me rephrase that.. A LOT OF QUESTIONS.. hahaha)
And OMG SO EXCITED!!!!!

I booked an appointment for Wednesday, 16th July..
So we'll be seeing the Priest then !!!!

I'm Catholic and this is the Church that I went to as a primary and highschool kid..
So it's gonna be great getting married there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I asked her if it's possible to get your child baptised at the wedding..
And she said it is.. all I have to do is check with the Father..
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

So, she told me, there's gonna be the normal one or two months waiting time (for all the legal paperwork)..
But we can get married in the next few months !!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!
We basically want to get married as soon as possible...
We've been engaged for almost 2 years... but have never had the money to get it done...
BUT OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG........... LOL

We don't really care what date the wedding is..
Our 2 year anniversary is this month already.. so basically there are no more special days to choose from.. LOL
Unless anyone here can think of any special reason to do it in September, October, November or December ? Any special dates or holidays you can think of ?
PLEASE HELP ME. LOL
I'm gonna turn into Bridezilla. HAHAHAHA

Oh, and I've already made my Wedding Vows..
I did them like 4 months ago. LOL
It's gonna be a traditional Catholic wedding, but according to the secretary, we can add our own vows in too.. so YAYY !!!

We also have to do a 1 day preparation course.. so that'll be interesting. lol

Oh, and I'm definitely changing my surname to Lawrence's...
I don't think it's mandatory (it's everyone's choice :)) but I always thought I would...
It's kinda like.. his family is now my family :)
But yeah, with Alisha, we already feel like family.. Alisha already has Lawrence's surname :)

ANYWHO IM SO EXCITED. YOU PROBABLY NOTICED. lol

Ok, my laptop isn't plugged in.. and it's on low battery..
So better go before it dies on me. LOL

If anyone wants to suggest things for my wedding.. PLEASE DO !!!!!

Here's the list of stuff that I'm going over atm:
* Wedding Invitations
* Food/Decorations/Names/Seating
* Wedding Cake
* Wedding Music + Wedding Song
* Post-wedding Pictures (Where???)
* Photographer/Video Camera
* Wedding Dress + Veil
* Bridesmaids Dresses
* Hiring of Suits
* Clothes for Flower Girls
* Shoes
* Hair
* Make-Up
* Contacts (for my eyes. LOL)

Gotta go. Laptop about to die. LOL

Love ya's all !!!!

All my love,
Thuy xox

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww thank you :)
That's ok.. I understand :)

Thanks for your suggestions !
I totally forgot about flowers till someone mentioned it below as well. haha :)

Oh, and as for the cars and gifts, I had it on the previous list..
Then when I realised that I needed to cut costs, I thought about cutting those..
Just cuz we can't afford to spend too much..
We'll probably just use a normal car to get to the wedding..
And as for gifts, hehe, we'll see :)
Haha we're not stingey, just low on money. LOL

Thanks so much for your help !!!!!

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! How exciting for you!

My husband and I went through preparations like that (we're Catholic too). We've already been married 7 years (via court) before we got married in church. But that didn't matter. Our priest made us live as "brothers and sisters" (if you know what I mean) for the whole preparation time (4 months!).

Can't wait to hear how your planning and preparations are coming along. How exciting!

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG im so excited for you! Just doing my rounds on whats going on before i go and i get to your blog... that is great news and your gonna have heaps and heaps of fun planning. Try not to pick a date when there is something going on as this is going to be your day/date and you dont really want to share it with anybody else, if you know what i mean eg, dont do it on a long weekend  or a public holiday. It doesnt have to be on a Saturday you know if you like a particular date and falls on another day. We had our wedding on a Friday cause the 14th August fell on a friday back then in 2001! That was the date we first met the 14th August, thats why we chose it   As for contact lenses, i can suggest maybe you want to get the day/night ones where you can sleep with them in. So good as it wont be a hassle for you to take them out at night before you go to bed cause im sure that is the last thing you want to do is take the lenses out and sterilise them etc... so annoying to me it is... hehehe... Try and get Lawrence involved with the planning eg, music you 2 like or has meaning to, type of theme maybe you want for your reception which will help when chosing the food, have your bridesmaids dresses in your favorite colour as well as your flowers....  

They are some suggestions i can think of atm. Good luck and cant wait to hear more when i get back... haha...

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww thanks Jo :)
Hehe and thanks for dropping by my blog :)

Ooh that's a good point.. maybe we won't do it on a day that's already a holiday... to make it more special for us two :)

Oh, the reason why we wanted to do it on a Saturday is because, people usually work Fridays, so it's easier to spend a whole day with the ceremony and reception..
The ceremony could be morning.. and reception could be a bit later into the afternoon..
And with Sundays, if we want the wedding to run late, people might be too tired because they have work the next day..
Which is why we liked the idea of Saturday :)
But thanks so much for your help though !!!!!!!!
I really appreciate it :)

Awww thats sweet that you chose the date you met..
We wanted to do the first day we started going out..
But that day's already passed :( LOL
And we're hoping to get married as soon as possible.. hehe

Haha thanks for the tip about the contacts.. yep, I might get those then.. thanks !!!! :)

Yep, definitely, he's already helped me a bit with the choice of our wedding song :) And other things too :)

And yep, we want the bridesmaids dresses to be turquoise.. light blue.. my favourite colour :) hehe

Thanks so much for your suggestions..
And for the good luck !

Haha I wonder if anything would have happened in the next two weeks.. LOL
I may have seen the priest by then, maybe. lol

Anywho, thanks heaps..
Hope u enjoy the trip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Thuy xox

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!! What exciting news! Have a great time, that is all I can say. I did my wedding on a budget and still had a lovely time. Whatever makes you happy! I think it is great that you are going to change your name. I was like that too. I still haven't changed mine back cause I want to have the same name as my kids. No-one has complained so I guess it isn't effecting anyone. Keep us updated, Lynette xx

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha yep, OMG indeed. LOL

Awww thanks Lynette..
We sure will have a lovely time.. cuz I'll be marrying my soulmate :) hehe

Yep, I totally agree..
We want to save money as much as possible, because we don't really care what anything looks like...
Because it's not just about getting married, but being married :) hehe
(I got that off Dr. Phil. HAHAHAHA)

Awww and thanks..
I really can't wait till my name is changed.. it'll be great !
A bit of a hassle with Medicare and stuff tho. hahahahaha

True true.. that's fair enough that you kept it :)

Yep sure.. I'll let you know if and when I die from wedding plans. LOL kidding :)

Take care !!!!

I think your strong feeling will be right :)

Hehe yep, we thought our wedding rings would have a special meaning, if we used the ones that Lawrence made :)

Awww thanks so much for the vibes Marg..
HAHA and I told Lawrence that you said he was handsome. LOL

Oh and Alisha said thank you for that sweet comment too ! hehe :)

Hope you're well, sweet one :)

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS HUN. Dont forget ur wedding rings. Shop around :) You probally want thank you notes aswell. I dunno if ur having the reception back at your place or somewhere else. Whether u are providing food and drinks etc. Maybe dont even have a photorapher they are very expensive. If you know anyone with a good camera that would be good. I did my own makeup but got my hair done for around 80 bucks. Im out of ideas atm i will talk on msn soon.

Love ya kell

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Smell !!!!! LOL

I bet you're excited, aren't you...
TIME TO GET ME A WEDDING PRESENT, KELL !!!!! LOL I'm kidding.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh yep, with our wedding rings, we have a sweet story about that already :) hehe
When Lawrence was a Jeweller, he made two white golds rings, they were his FIRST ever pieces of work..
And when he met me, he gave me one of them, and I've had them ever since..
So we're thinking, to save money, we might just use those..
Or maybe engrave them, especially for the wedding :)

Oooh thank you notes sound good too !

Yeah, we're thinking of having the reception at our place..
To save money..
And plus, it'll be kinda "special" cuz it's our home..
So it'll have good memories :)
So if we have it here, we're gonna hire some catering people... :)

True true..
Lawrence has a friend that likes photography, so we might ask her..
But I'm just a worried because we were planning to invite her, I'm not sure if I want her to be preoccupied with the photos, and not have fun, if ya get what I mean ? :) hehe

Oooh cool..
Yeah I was thinking about doing my own make-up.. But I'm worried that I'll be too stressed out, so I might need someone else to take care of that me. LOL

Oooh where did ya get your hair done ??????????

And nah thats kk... Your ideas helped a lot hun !!!!!!

You're bathing Mia atm.. so I'll tty soon kk !!!!!!

Love ya heaps

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so exciting  and perth weather will be great in those months anyway. i was married in september,

since you want to get married on a saturday write the dates down and get alisha to pick one out whether she walks on it or something . that way it will also have special meaning just a suggestion.

this is so exciting .

wow

cheers annie

Awww it is exciting, isn't it ? hehehehehe :)

Oooh true true..
I'm hoping that the weather will be good :)

Oh really.. what date were you married ?

Oooh I should do that !
Hehe I actually thought of doing that too...
Getting Alisha to "pick the date", so to speak...
That was a GREAT suggestion, thank you so much ! :)

Thanks SOOO much for your input, Annie !!!!!!!! :)

Re: OMG!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 9th of september but this year its not a saturday .

some cult  in queensland claimed that the world wasnt going to end 2000 (millemium) like some thought but 9/9 /1999

they waited and were disappointed but i was confident nothing would happen because that was my anniversary  it was 20 years for us then

my anniversary is weird because i actually got married on the 9/9/1979 and i september autumn you heard right!

i actually got married overseas and whilst others dont seem to realize what a difference this could be not only is it spring here in australia but i was married at 6pm  which makes it 2 or 3 am in australia but not the 9th but the 10th of september

i celebrate on the 9th because that is what my marriage certificate says and it was the 9th in greece where i married!

also to top it off my eldest son was conceived in greece but born in australia. now this gets stranger still because he is considered australian but he was conceived in greece!!!! i would be  agreat candidate for debates i know!!!

im living proof that life isnt just black and white . life really is mysterious

hey sunshine i know it will be great to have the perfect weather and if you want that to happen it will stay positive and you appear to have your feet planted well on the ground and what i saw of alishas first birthday photos im sure things will turn out fine.

cheers annie
