Next step...

Pandakoala Lai browsing through newspaper while Teddy Chua was reading another article...
P: "Hey dear, there's a wedding & travel fair at Suntec this weekend...should we go take a look?"
T: "Ok, we can go after lunch."

After hearing from at least 7 different bridal studio, we were mentally drained...alot of information but mainly our deciding factor was the cost of the package and the gowns.

Sunday afternoon we headed back to the fair and decided to sign the package with French Bridal. We will have a local photoshoot and an overseas photoshoot in Taipei! Wedding favors are also decided. The next important thing would be to decide on an auspicious date and choose our banquet venue.

The birth of something new, something we cherish, something we love.

*kneeling down* Miss Panda Koala Lai, will you marry me?

*gasp* Is this our ring?

*proudly* Yep, it is.

*inspecting it* Wow. It looks very different! It's very nice!

*getting nervous now* So? Will you marry me?

*With a smile almost bursting her happy face* Yes!

(...)

I think you better go home and tell your parents the good news.

*looking a bit nervous* Orh. Ok.

*reading her thoughts* Don't worry. I've asked your parents for permission to marry you already.

*surprised* When? How come i don't know?

*smug* That day lor. During lunch, and when you were in the toilet.

(...)

*curious* So you passed the ring to the restaurant the day before?

No lah. They are more afraid than me, 'cause they might...

*understanding and completes the sentence* ... lose the ring.

I passed it to them just now.

*surprised again* When? How come i never notice?

*smug again* See? Planning. *explains* You enter the restaurant first mah, so your back was facing me. I passed to the waiter during that moment.

So. As it turns out, everything went almost perfectly.

All the preparations were worth it. Just that one single happy smile and a "yes" redeemed all my efforts and everything i've done.

The next step is even bigger and needs even more planning. Let's hope i can do it as flawlessly and as smoothly as before.
