A Long Journey Down the Aisle

Those of you who have been following me on this journey since day one know how indecisive my fiance and I have been on picking vendors/sites and sticking to one. I’m just a very indecisive person sometimes - I second guess my choices/vendors and have to go back and forth and weigh the pros and cons.

UGGGGGGHHH!!!! It’s so frustrating!

The only reason we have a wedding venue now is because my fiance and I got tired of looking, and the only thing we knew for sure was that we wanted an outdoor ceremony. After much bickering with my parents about how “it will be too hot” outside to have a reception outside as well, I gave in. I finally found a place that I had initially dismissed that was perfect.

In the beginning, I was so picky:

• no buffet
• has to be something/somewhere not many ppl go/do weddings there
• no hotel ballrooms
• letterpressed invitations

(Dauphinepress)

• nobody can come if I don’t know them and like them personally
• no open bar
• 6 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls and 3 ring bearers

Now:

• we’re having buffet style at the American reception
• premium open bar

• my parents can invite anyone they want to our “traditional Vietnamese” reception of 300-400 guests
• they can have their 2 language invites (you know, the ones with the couple kissing on front and with glittery red font - LOL - you Asian brides will probably know what I’m talking about)

exhibit A:

Ok, well they won’t be as hideous as these, but you get the idea.

• we’re having 2 sets of invitations
• 2 bridesmaids and 3 junior bridesmaids (my little cousins) 1 flower girl, 2 ring bearers

Funny how things change. Even though it was difficult, over time, I seem to care less about the little things and just go with the flow.

I’m much happier now … and so is my fiance - haha.
