This is a sort of mandatory post regarding Medan’s new airport, Kuala Namu International Airport (KNO). I believe the guests who have booked their flights for our wedding have received a notification from the airlines regarding the shifting of airport operations from Polonia International Aiport (MES) to Kuala Namu Interational Airport (KNO) effective 25 July […]
Some tips to get you started on choosing your wedding colours: Follow your intuition. Close your eyes, and note the first few colours that come to your mind. Do it with your partner and find out if you think of the same colours! :) Colour your wedding theme. If you have a strong idea about […]
As soon as we picked the colour theme for the groom’s reception, we decided one for the bride’s reception, too. A little bit about the bride’s reception before I dive into colours again. In Hokkien tradition, the bride’s reception is considered as a pre-wedding reception (lau tia) hosted by the bride’s parents to tell the […]
Peach and light blue had never been our favourite colours until we picked them as our wedding colours in the early stage of our wedding planning. Well, they still aren’t David’s favourite colours, but for me, it’s very hard not to fall in love with this pastel combo. How can I not adore them when […]
After the second draft, we couldn’t wait to get the sailboat logo properly designed. Fortunately, in early April, we set an appointment with an invitation vendor. Our first meeting was like love at the first sight. We told the lady who’s doing our invite about our wedding theme and colour palette, showed her the second […]
We had been pretty happy with our sail monogram until about 3 months ago. I looked at it again and pictured it to be on our wedding invitations and other stationery. Bleah. There’s no way it would look nice thanks to its rigidness. Though we still liked it, we had to admit that it wasn’t […]
No, we didn’t buy any sailboat – in fact, we’re clueless about sailing – nor are we dreaming about having our wedding on a boat. This is about another kind of sailboat that somehow makes it to our wedding. There were those times before we got engaged when I daydreamed of getting married to the […]
Here’s our own check-list to plan for a wedding solemnisation: Venue. Choose several venues to consider, and decide on the one that is most suitable. We considered 2 temples, one is a Theravada temple and another one is a Buddhayana temple. Due to stricter rules of the Theravada temple, we decided to have it at […]
During the journey of our wedding planning, we came to realise that a marriage can be recognised in 3 ways, i.e. by law, by culture, and by religion. In Indonesia, the law states that a couple must share the same religion to get married. It’s ridiculous, but that’s how it is. No wonder many couples […]
I didn’t expect to write the very first post of our wedding blog this late – 9 months after we got engaged! Even a baby would’ve been born, ha! Well, I could write a whole long list of excuses, but let’s just say I’ve been going through a lot of changes since our engagement. I […]
we're tying the knot!
