ya! I have been 2 days insomnia due to the wedding preparation. I totally don’t know what I should prepare and tension until can’t sleep for last 2 nights. After I attended the friend’s wedding last weekend, I suddenly found out I don’t have Emcee, camera men, power point etc. Due to at home I’m the only girl and first time wedding preparation, so, parent will be quite dependent on me to arrange it, but, unfortunately I away at Singapore, so, thing seems like can’t move a lot, and work make me more tension, there have a project really can’t move on, due to the resource, and one project must be implement one week before my wedding, due to I’m the PM, co-coordinator, and also implementer, that make me more tension, some more user warned me if this time can’t implement, they will send the email to the big big boss to complaint about the IT. hrmmm… so ridiculous, but, no choice.
I saw a lot of people really put in a lot of effort to do the wedding event. They have a very pretty slide show, and fantastic performance etc. People always comment wedding is just once in a life time, but, for me, I just wish a peaceful wedding dinner and not much tension given, because these few months really too many thing need to handle. After the Malaysia wedding, still need to prepare the Indonesia wedding, at first I feel so lonely without any “ji-mui”, but, due to everyone also busy with their life and work, it might be hard to asking friend to accompany me there. :S
Wedding, I just wish to celebrate it with my close friend, and music accompaniment, and the important thing is my hubby is the one I wish to live with and take care of me. Luckily is with his support, I keep my frustration away.
Now I really pray hard is everything is slowly settle down, project can really move out, and my guest who come over to my wedding will enjoy themselves with my blessing. - Alison
take it easy my dear friend. as you’ve said, wedding is a “once-in-a-lifetime” thingy, so it’s a process that you should enjoy, rather than putting in too much pressure. There may be alot of things to prepare, but you don’t need to crack your head over it if you don’t want to.
emcee - all restaurants have a default emcee for you, and i’m sure there’s one in your wedding venue, u know i know it. unless u want to hv your own emcee, if you hv a friend in your mind, or your brother, then you can ask them for help. a simple emcee will only need to announce the procession of bride and bridegroom, and during the yum sheng event. other than that, they don’t need to do anything, unless u want to hv some special game / speech etc.
cameraman - depends on what you want.. if you want a professional photographer, i can recommend 1 to you, of coz only in kl, not in indonesia, unless you want to sponsor his trip there. otherwise, anyone can be your photographer. my bro juz had his wedding last week, and last 2 weeks in kuching. my bro in law was the videographer, and myself, chris, and my sister were his photographers. all you need is a digital camera.
power point - your story since young and during your courting days? well, this is not compulsory. i’m sure you have a dvd showing your wedding photos, that’s the basic one. it’s all your own decision what you want to hv during your wed dinner, there’s no fix format on what you need to hv for a wed dinner.
you can always ask around for opinions, and discuss with your hubby on what you guys want on your wedding. i’m married, few of your friends are married, feel free to ask if you hv any questions. what are friends for? it’s not juz to share your joy but also your problems. don’t feel that you are giving us trouble, no true friend will think so. we are in fact happy to help preparing your wedding and share your burden.

it’s better to have a friend/cousin to be your bridesmaid for that day, just because you will be busy entertaining. You’ll need someone else to coordinate and make sure all the important things are done.

Yeah dun worry about it too much…Once in a lifetime event but also, it will be finished in less than 4 hours! Most important is ur marriage life for the next few decades…not just that day! Just deal with whatever resources you can find and not everything that u mentioned is mandatory just because others might have got in their wedding.
