the eager bridesmaid

me the bridesmaid at first fitting :)

did i mention its 2 weeks' to my best friend's wedding? its my first time being a bridesmaid & im pretty darn eager.

Eels is getting married june 4th & preps began months ago. but its gotten increasingly exciting & busy the last 3 wks in the leadup to the BIG DAY!

was initially apprehensive abt wearing an apple green dress (green was never my colour to be honest) but i was willing to don whatever given its only 5 hrs of my life & id do even this kinda thing for the sake of friendship :P

as it turns out (& as reluctant as i might be to admit) the dress is quite pretty, good enough to be worn even after wedding. yippees!

so far the lil' bright-eyed bridesmaid has been tasked to (you can tell ive not been too efficient - no completed items yet. yikes):
(i) print wedding programmes - in progress
(ii) prepare wedding dinner moosic - in progress
(iii) plan hen's nite - in progress
(iv) be photo filler & servant to Eels on the Day - to be executed
(that reminds me - i need to go get mini portable fans!)

and thats just a teensy winsy bit of what has to be done overall. in the process ive learnt (i think!) to tell the difference b/w MINT and APPLE green and just how many tones of pink there can be in the pantone palette! :) from all ive seen & heard (horrors & pains of finding venue, getting good florist, designing gown, coordinating invites & RSVPs, adjusting to new in-laws, managing parents) a wedding is no fun to plan & execute - trust you me!

credit has to go to Siuling, the bride's lovely sister who has been doing bulk of preps from helping to source venues, to flowers & tailors, to managing anxious parents. She really is a gem of a sister i tell you. Siuling, YOU ROCK!!!

watch out for more pics & documentary :) woo hoo!

ps: Carms, dont worry Ill still be eager beaver bridesmaid when your turn comes! just more experienced. heh heh heh :)

pps: Eels' wedding colours (if you havent yet guessed by the looks of this) are apple green & pink
