The Tie That Binds

That night ended with a YES. Of course, what I was feeling that past month didn't just go away over night, not even after the proposal. But I decided to let it go, like it's a trash on its way to the bin. One piece at a time until we both recovered. It wasn't easy but it's not so difficult either. Must be because we were good friends right from the start and the 5 long years of being in the relationship, though long distance, helped us know more of each other and we've developed a certain depth of love and confidence and trust in each other's words.

So we moved on with the wedding plans. It was fun talking about the concept, the motiff and the effects for the event... the key persons and other preparations. The not so fun part was the budget. We wanted to do something close to the Mü online game theme. Mü is a game we both play since 2002. It's a world of Elvens, Wizards, Knights, Gladiators and Dark Lords. We didn't want to have a gothic, dark feel so we stuck to the Elven Map, for a lively, enchanted feel.

Like I said, the budget was tight. Thankfully we have friends who helped us by sponsoring some parts of the celebration. Our SMSI friends paid for the 8k cake. My sisters for my gown, shoes and accessories. A German friend sponsored an accommodation for the couple in Marco Polo Hotel, a couple bought the wines for us, George Lindemann took care of a portion in the banquet reservation, and another Ninong and Ninang pledged an amount to help as well.

We were sooooo grateful that we have friends with generous hearts.
