Now that it is 2008, we can actually say that "the wedding is next year" instead of the cumbersome "June of '09". We've tackled some of the major decisions at the end of last year and knocked out the food, wedding party, venue, look & feel, and date.

We're looking into photography, videography, and music at the moment. Anyone know of anyone who will take great pictures and give us what we want? (I want the rights to the images on a CD!) I also need a DJ who knows Viet. I doubt you can help me there.

So basically, the reception will take place after we travel across state at the Lansing Radisson Hotel on June 27, 2009. We are having a selection of hors deurves, five plated courses that include chicken, duck, shrimp, beef, and dessert! It's not the typical 12 course homestyle Asian wedding meal, but I still have high expectations for what we've planned.

Our friends are getting engaged left and right. How exciting! We're just getting married AFTER everyone lol. I blame school which should be an excuse until December.

My wedding planning book is huge--typical, but we're getting there. :o)
