I met up with Joelle Ung from Sedan of Love (http://www.SedanOfLove.com) today. She's nice & funny, gave me loads of tips & advice on what to do/ prepare/ theme-brainstorming etc.
I was actually shopping around for a wedding planner, wondering if it's cost effective to hire one. Oh well, just like hiring an events company, u are paying for their man-hours spent coordinating your wedding & managing the logistics etc. It didn't really cross my mind to hire one but well, KL was suggesting that with such hectic hrs, hiring a planner ease my mind a little & allow me to concentrate on finishing my final 3 modules next semester. However, some of these planners are really "professional" & seemingly inflexible. For eg like Joelle, her fees are $2288 for 8 weeks of planning + AD coordination! That's kinda steep! Full planning services cost about $4K+.
Oh well, i think the decision is to DROP the wedding planner idea & hire Aunty Elena as the wedding planner instead. Seriously, i really think i am fully capable of coming up with ideas but just lack the "time" & maybe energy to do it. Oh well, i have grown to come to terms that no wedding is a PERFECT one. However, it's just in my character to give it my best shot. Afterall, it's really not the event but the WEDDING that matters. Happens only once in a lifetime so let's try to make it as near perfect as possible. Whatever screw-ups, just take it as it comes! Part of a memory too! :)
