Crisis
The quest is to find the perfect place for the reception…
27th December…
After breakfast, Becky took us to Merdeka Palace before Alvin and I head for the day’s plan.
Merdeka Palace is not in the central of Kuching and yet it is not very far from town center. About 10 minute walk. Becky insists we should check out the place. We have very little hope as the one and only ballroom is already booked by another couple.
The banquet manager, Jesselina is the best hotel manager I’d ever encountered. She treated us like friends.
She showed us the ballroom which they are doing some preparation for the night wedding. We were so attracted by it.
It was not very big. It has a balcony like the PJ Civic Hall which you can put a few tables up there or have the cocktail party before the dinner start.
The backdrop was elegant. Jesselina told us it was the standard backdrop… the table setting was so beautiful, and the lighting was also very very nice…
Oh dear, I must have my reception here! I thought.
“You may change your date…” Jesselina suggested cheekily.
She must love her job very much.
Ok… crisis!!!
Should we change the date so we can have this place for our reception? Or, should we change our plan so we can have this ballroom for the reception?
Ok… reception venue was just a small crisis. When Jesselina told us the room rate for wedding package, I almost fainted. It was quite cheap! Really! It was the best deal I could ever dream about.
So now how?
Right! We have to think about it.
We love the place so much that we desperately want it no matter what. So we thought if we could change the date that would be perfect.
I don’t mind changing the date because that would give me time to do more things. But Alvin only concern about it because parents chooses the date. Remember what happen to the star?
So he called his mom and the mom said NO WAY for us to change the date. Well when he told me we can’t change the date without giving any valid reason I was pissed off.
“We only get married once and we want it to be perfect and what is the possibility for it to be so difficult to just change the date?” was my reaction to him.
After we sort things out only he told me parents already announced to their friends the date of the wedding.
Anyway, his mom suggested us to either do lunch and push the church early… which is possible but we will suffer because it has to be very early and we have to go to another church and we might have to change priest and it will be very rush…
Another suggestion was to push reception to the next day which is not possible for out station guests because Sunday is never a good idea.
So we came out to the agreement of same church same time, tea ceremony after lunch, crazy party in the evening for out station guests somewhere else and lunch for family, parents’ friends and VVVIP (bosses and bosses’ bosses).
The end
