The Wedding
Food
Food is so important to us that if we had to pick one thing for our wedding it would be good food. And plenty of it. A good feast was so important to Jesus that his first miracle he performed was wine at Cana. We don't want the Saints in all their glory in Heaven to shake their head in embarrassment at us because we failed to provide enough.
Also, very important to us is the good timing of saying grace, which we will say before we start eating.
Our options for food were sit-down dinner and dinner buffet. We decided on the buffet. The trade-off with a buffet would be class because a buffet just isn't as elegant as a sit-down dinner. But the pro is letting multi-generational and multi-cultural guests pick and choose what they want and reduce waste. We can live with not being as classy but we can't live with being wasteful.

Drinks & Alcohol
FI said he'll take care of this. He has chosen to offer an open bar of domestic beers and Heineken as well as different types of wine, and of course, champagne for toasting. I'm so relieved, says this girl who had her first drink at age 22. Nothing religious or cultural against alcohol, just that I didn't acquire a taste for it. If left to me, we'd have a bubble tea bar instead of liquor. Yeaaah. Definitely not gonna pass with the guests.
The Bubbly
When I go to a department store, I don't head to the fashion or cosmetics but straight for the home goods. I love a beautiful home moreso than to have nice clothes and make-up. Being that I am absolutely crazy about fine china, I searched very carefully for our heirloom-quality toasting flutes. I splurged for the Waterford Wishes Love & Romance. I like it because it has two entwining hearts, like our hearts being one. I'd like to pass these to our future kids.
