The Wedding Checklist

Seeing that I'm single-handedly plan this wedding (ok, Johan does help too!) and loving it soooooooo much, I guess it's just right for me to have a proper wedding checklist. Elly, alangkah bagusnya kalau kehidupan kau pun mempunyai susun atur begini tau!

Like everybody else, I'm working from 7 - 5, have no life most of the time on weekdays and I only have weekends to spare my time planning this wedding crucially. Hahaha...sounds so critical stop being dramatic Elly-ho! It's not like I don't have anyone to help me out, but I prefer to work things out by myself, and the satisfaction from the outcome is priceless. I love being my own wedding planner and I'm proud of that.

Ok, so here's the checklist, to remind me of what's left and what's going on, so I have a proper note to look at every now and then.

Inclusive of red carpet, glass setting for 2 table buffet, setting for 4 VIP tables and setting for meja pengantin. Free 3-tier wedding cake too. Errr...
