amidst the election jitters and feeling like life stopping for most of us, including the church. it really was hard to talk about something other than the election during the past week in church. the people seemed to have these blinders where all they could talk about mostly was the election.. what does this have to do with the wedding?
well, simply with all the pressure that we were getting, it just came to the point when Lea and I talked about the wedding preparation as a way to release tension. now have you ever imagined that happening? talking about the wedding preps to relieve stress. that must have been a first.
anyway, finally after a small boo-boo on my part, i was able to sign my passport and erick managed to drop by last friday at coffee bean just to have me sign the passport, which was the only thing hindering me from finally getting my visa. so we are just awaiting the 5 to 7 working days that they said before we can have our visa finally. the next order of business is getting the other half of the amount we need to buy two round trip tickets to Australia for the honeymoon. we really don't have enough money yet. but we believe God will provide.
this afternoon, after some hesitancy on my part the other day (because of potential schedule conflicts) we managed to have Raymond join us for the taste testing at queensland. it was great to have free meriena/dinner. and of course with Raymond in tow, he was able to find out the several details of our wedding package that we still needed to prepare or haggle with the caterer. The food tasted great as usual, so we just have to hope that they continue to be consistent in serving up good food.
Lea also managed to find time to have her first fitting for her wedding gown, while Raymond and I talked about ministry and politics over at seattle's.
It was a great day. We were both happy to have done something tangible again for the wedding. And it was great to be reminded that we are indeed gettting married, and were able to enjoy the preparations once again.
oh and btw, last friday we also were able to come to terms with the florist and were able to give the down payment already. we managed to fit in going to Frances' house and welcome her Sis' newborn baby arrive at their house. She also treated us to this new pastry place at Katipunan called Banapple. The cakes were great. yum!
