We will hold an intimate ceremony and reception in English tradition here with less than 20 guests, and a bigger one in Vietnam with all families, relatives and friends a few months after. We do not create a separate wedding blog, instead I am blogging about my wedding preparation (for the UK one first) here ...
First of all - venue: a Georgian mansion in a countryside of Hertfordshire - Theobalds Park
Runner-up in venue selection is a small castle in East Sussex - Wadhurst Castle:
However finally we did not choose this castle because it is quite far, and inside, the room is not as nice as the other one, although from outside a castle definitely outshines a Georgian mansion, and the word "castle" would defintely has a "wow" factor on story to tell grand children. I was so in love with the castle until I stepped inside the room. Besides, it does not have accomodation, which is a very big drawback to us. So we went with the more convenient one. Nevermind, we would make the magic happen in that Georgian mansion!

Other details of Theobalds Park cannot be disclosed at this moment ... to save a surprise for our wedding photos!!!
Còn gì nữa? Thiệp mời đã gởi:
All invitations are handwritten - a personal touch
and mailed according to tradition
My "wedding planner" is a small notebook- a gift from Juanita, a friend I met in Beijing in 2009:
Đây là cuốn sổ nhỏ phác "kế hoạch đám cưới" - quà tặng lúc chia tay của Juanita, người bạn gặp ở Bắc Kinh năm 2009. Bên trong ghi chép nhằng nhịt bấy xấy ...
What Juanita writes ...
Một vài chi tiết vụn vặt: tôi thử làm confetti bằng hoa hồng thật xem sao
I tried to make rose petal confetti myself
Hôm đó là một ngày quan trọng: ngày nhận các lọ hoa mình đặt mua trên mạng - một thùng.
So excited to open - flower vases bought online: 10 small cube vases and 1 fishbowl vase
Have a go with some tulips ready at home. The cube (8x8x8) turns out to be so small ...
The fishbowl one is quite nice - I wish I have ordered more of this rather than the little cubes! Well let's see how my "talent" can fix it!
Red is not our colour scheme - just a trial with the vases for now!
(planning details: to be continued)
