SGS

For some, 09/09/09 is quite an auspicious date.  However for us, it means 101 days to go!  Make that exactly one-hour less, taking into account the start of daylight-saving time!

As some may know we’ve now got Joanie on board to help us with our wedding plans.  Those close to us know that we’re “organisational freaks” (well, that’s kinda more me than Steph haha) and would have most things already planned out.  Some would think we’ve got a whole Gantt chart prepared…

Joanie has been highly passionate about getting us even more excited for our big day as her fantastic skills and sharp eyes are able to point out things we’ve missed as well as suggesting how we can improve certain ideas.  With her experience in both corporate events and weddings, she is able to source things quickly and efficiently.

To Joanie – we can’t thank you enough!

To everyone else (more so to prospective couples), for more information about Joanie and wedding planning, please visit One Wedding Wish.  (You may want to visit her blog as well for some SGS Wedding teasers 😉 )

Here’s a sneak peek on our wedding invite – after nights of multiple design revisions, glue sticking, double-taping, scalpel ticking, foot-pressing, hand-thumping, paper slicing, painful embossing 🙂

I was way more prepared in choosing Steph’s engagement ring, such that I didn’t really have an idea of what sort of ring I should have!  However, we have finally chosen our wedding rings after a 1 hour consultation with the jeweller.  Yes, we prefer white-gold over yellow-gold… and I must say Steph’s ring definitely looks stunning alongside her engagement one! Sorry – no photos… you’ll have to wait for our big day! 😉

There are EXACTLY six months to go till our wedding day!!!! A HUGE thanks to those who are already helping out and also in advance to those who have put their hands up to do so!  Our appreciation because we know without you guys, our day wouldn’t be a memorable one.

Anyhow, let’s do a spot-check on…
