At the far end of the plank

Can you hear the wedding bells already?

Well of course there won't be any, but good God people, it's less than a month away! Invitations are labeled, the suntings and beskaps are packed, the menu's set, you get the gist.

First off let me tell you, I love the rings. They turned out to look exactly like how I'd imagined it would. I think it's the only vendor that could meet 100 percent of my expectation. Kudos to Kaliem Blok M Square.



Pardon the hairy fingers.
 So, rings are done, invitations are also done. There's a huge drama behind, which requires a whole other post to describe. In a nutshell, Atmaraya produces good-quality invitations, but their management and customer service is beyond horrible. Not worth the satisfying result.

Favors are also done. We are giving away a set of coasters to the guests, nicely packed in a small tulle bag. Sadly, I just realised I didn't know the name of that store in Asemka, but the person to call is Mbak Dian at 0815 8677 9257. Great service, pretty packaging, and el cheapo.

What's not so el cheapo, however, is the honeymoon budget. Seems like everyone is vaycay-ing in romantic resorts in Bali, cos almost every villa we had our eyes for were full. Thankfully, there's this one villa in Seminyak that offers what we want, only with a price higher than our budget. But it's available, so.

Anyway, we're still looking for some place to stay at Gili Trawangan. In addition, I have to have fresh water running in the villa instead of sea water, which I heard is the case for most villas in Gili T. Tuan Putri nggak bisa lah ya mandi air asin gitu.

Another progress is for Bangun's seserahan. In the boxes, he will find:

- Batik shirts
- A set of suit, formal pants, formal shirt and a couple of ties (for this, I was finally able to drag him to shop at Topshop and co!)
- Acehnese peci and sarung
- Baju koko
- Formal shoes
- A set of towel
- Perfume

So far, only baju koko that's still unchecked. Any idea where to find one with nice design? I find baju kokos look all the same in department stores.

With this progress, I'm pretty confident we're all set for the 19th. Beware for more nonsense posts like this one, though.
