Offers I can never refuse

One (more) thing I learned during this wedding preparation process is how to decline vendors.

When we first started hunting for caterers and photographers, of course we left my number and e-mail everywhere to look for the best offers. But now that we've slowly made up our minds, it's time to turn down the other candidates who keep calling and asking whether we've made a decision or not.

Those marketing people may be mercilessly deceitful and fake, but let me tell you one thing; I don't have the heart to hear them say "oh ya udah nggak apa-apa Mbak" after I tell them goodbye over the phone.

So what do I do? I end up lying, and not very good at it. Let's just say I'm choosing all "my relatives" to do the foods, the photos, videos, engagement pictures, bands.....

And yet still I give them hope that there's still a chance to hire them somewhere in the process.

"Kayaknya mau pake sodara.. Tapi mungkin albumnya mau bikin di situ sih Mbak," was the latest. While I know there's no way I'm contacting them again.

Maaf ya, vendors. Kita hanya belum jodoh, kok.
