Though we're not professionals that eat, play and sleep with such tasks daily, but we still do have lots of chances and have a abundant of experience organising such events. But this is one Event/Dinner where we cracked our brains and millions of cells are killed, yet we have no idea how to go about it !! What is this Event ??
Thats... .... .....
OUR FAMILIES MEETING FOR WEDDING DISCUSSION OVER DINNER
The Planning process for this event is definitely tougher than any other events that we've planned before.
- The guest list was reduced to parents from both side, rowe's grandparents and grandmother. With less people (My Bro & his wife, Rowe's Bro & Gf) involved, means less topics !!!!!!
- Language barrier (Different use of language for communication)
- Choice of place
- Choice of food
- Wedding Discussion (Both of us are noob to this !!! And our parents want it to be simple to the extend nothing to ask for !!)
After months of planning, just the night before we flew to Bangkok, decision was made !!
09 October 2010, Saturday, 1830Hrs, Arena Tung Lok Seafood Ala Carte Buffet
The entire meeting was totally like driving a car !!! Though both our parents met before, previously when my dad was admitted to hospital & when my mum met Rowe's family at the airport, we started off with a cold engine. Hence, i plug in the key and turn on the engine by introducing my parents and grandmother to Rowe's Parents & Grandparents. And things started to warm up. Small conversations between my grandmother and her grandparents and my parents with her parents started to kick in. Rowe and I were still worrying about facing a cold stage and try to create topics for them.
We arrived at the restaurant and were seated at our reserved table. Rowe and I decided to accelerate a little to move pass the S-Course and move on to the smooth road ahead. Hence, we took the orders for the night. True enough. when the food arrived, we're out of the S-Course and we're on the straight road to our future !! Everyone was enjoying the food served at Tung Lok Seafood and topics were created naturally. This proved that out worries were unnecessary !! We had a smooth 3 hour of journey down our parents & grandparents' memory lanes which i had enjoyed listening to. Of course we had a peek into our FUTURE which was the main topic of the night !!
To cut things short, we had agreed on what to do and exchange for formalities on the day of 过大礼。The dinner was such a success that we're the first table to be seated and almost the last table to leave the restaurant !! My mum and grandmother had certainly enjoyed a night of conversation with Rowe's Grandmother ! I had to jam the brake !!! Otherwise, conversation would never have ended ! We bidded farewell with the approval from her paretns & grandparents to entrust Rowe (their 心肝宝贝)'s happiness to me !!
From here on, we'll start to plan for our Wedding Gown, Suit & Shoot. Meeting our photographer & designer on 22nd October. Til then... .... ..
Love,
Bryan & Rowena
