Marriage Preparation Course (MPC)

Image
Prior to having a church wedding, we have to attend the Marriage Preparation Course (MPC) organised by the church. guess, this is was a path which every christian couple requires to go through. before start of the course, we were ask to do a personality test (PEAKS) which denote as (P) Purpose (E) Energy (A) Affirmation (K ) Knowledge (S) Sustainability. i have done countless of personality tests so, i already have an idea on the results. results states my personality driven potential is related to Sustainability. which means i do very well responding to stressful situations in a calm secure & steady way. hur hur! agree to an extend..  aside from the results of each personality test, they also did a combination of the couple to see the compatiblity. and surprise surprise, we are........ Extremely compatible ! for a moment, i thought this was the SOP results for all couples until i peek at the couple results beside me. this is what i call a mat...
Have been thinking the songs for my morning highlights video. . . HJP likes Jason Mraz - I'm Yours. i find it was too typical of a wedding song. XX once recomended The Last Good Night - Pictures of You which is quite to my liking.. did also consider The Ting Tings - Great DJ but it doesn't really match into the wedding atmosphere. but i like the "arh arh arh" portion. LOL! it was till i heard bro played Namie Amuro - Only You. Without much thoughts, i immediately have it nailed down. Lyrics is suitable for a wedding. plus ... i super love the tempo! ! i hope the co doing the video would able to get the licence of this song.

my long weekend settled the wedding band during the long weekend holidays. On Fri, dropped by the jewellery street at Ion. pop by Lee Hwa but nothing fancy us. saw a very beautiful pair at Soo Kee which was quite different from the usual wedding bands. i hardly come by designs which are pretty for the groom & bride. quite tempted to buy actually. then we move on to Goldheart (where we got the proposal ring) to check out. HJP fell in love with one of the rings cos of the comfort fit. i had a choice for a thicker or thinner (to wear it together with my proposal ring). shortlisted 2 of my choices to pair it up with his. final stop at Love & Co which is most expensive of all. over $5000  per pair (already burst my bgt by 2 times). also love it equally much as the first 2 pairs we saw. in the end, we decided on Goldheart. comfort fit & pretty are the main reasons of the selection. i told HJP, i own 3 stars (coincidentally it is also under the celestia...

Shortly after the whole course, i started to settle the urgent pending stuff. the research process can drive me crazy. having a seperate day for church wedding = $$$. was wondering was it worth it or not. additionally, i need to arrange for photographer & MUA. the bridal shop just called saying that additional cost ($80) for cleaning cos of the i'll be wearing the gown twice.. lucky already settled photographer/ VG ( happy eyes photography ) & 15 dec MUA ( candy tiong ). initally wanted to use the same MUA on my AD, but the charges is damn ex. luckily, i did my research long time back. now pending: - hse renovations (ID or contractor?). forever can't make up our minds - finalise bridesmaid list. already have 3. was thinking if i need more. - appt with bridal shop to choose the which theme i wanted for my PS. - wedding shoes. have to be comfortable/cheap/ not so bling bling. i wanted to wear my birkenstock leh.. - classical music C...
