having a wedding six months after giving birth is not such a good idea… first of all it will probably take me that long to go back to my pre-pregnancy weight and secondly, i need to give my measurements to veluz this week so that she can start making the dress. she said not to worry cos i will have to get re-measured next month, but i don’t think that’s enough time to lose enough weight. i can’t exactly go to the gym cos i’m too busy with matt and i don’t think i’m even allowed to do strenuous exercises until after six months from the birth.

i think starting next week i’ll go for walks with matt in the morning, at least if he falls asleep during the walk it won’t disrupt his nighttime routine. i will also have to hound our wedding coordinator for updates on what’s happening. i haven’t heard from her since december and i even tried emailing/texting her. hopefully everything is on track from her end. any updates to our wedding preps can be found in my wedding blog.

by this time next week, i would officially be mrs. quinto :) we are getting married at the victorian marriage registry next saturday, and are heading off to canberra, then sydney, then LA afterwards. we originally planned the civil wedding to be in september, but my parents suggested to have it in march instead since he and his parents were planning to come over anyway.

in terms of planning for the church wedding next year, we already have a wedding planner (my second one actually, cos the first one didn’t really push through). clarice of an event to remember saved the day! finally my online stalking skills paid off LOL i read her blog ages ago and saw that she had a yahoo email address, so i hadded her yahoo id to my ym. i never saw her online until about a couple of weeks ago, the same day that my wedding gown designer contacted me! it’s destiny i tells ya!

veluz, my gown designer, sent in three sketches for my gown. you can find them in my flickr page. i am liking sketch B at the moment, but i am a bit concerned that my love handles will show :) )

i have already chosen my other suppliers, but we are waiting until mid-april to make the deposits since we are going on our honeymoon at vegas and can’t really afford to pay them right now. maybe when butch gets his first paycheck after the honeymoon hehe.
