For those who wanted to know more about the song we chose for our ceromony, well… here it is.

Ingrid Michaelson – “The way I am”.

A beautiful little tune that really seemed to explain who Myself and Yati feel about each other whilst reinforcing the vowes we made to each other. Perfect.

Thanks to Tiny for making sure that Jules got there in one piece even though he himself almost didn’t!

Thanks to MC and Gx for all the tips and list and making sure that I actually make an effort to do something about the wedding! And thanks girls for spending the last evening with me chatting silly stuff to get my mind off things! And MC for accompanying me to do my hair and stuff… and Gx for being one of the witnesses.

Thanks to Aga, who although was not at the wedding as she has an important journey to go to, for daily nagging me about the important stuff I need to order… like the rings.

Thanks to my cousin (by ninja) NinjaMoo for the big surprise when I went to pick up my little cakes!!! I don’t know how you managed to organise it being all the way in Oz!!! Your ninja skills surpasses mine!

Thanks to Mr & Mrs Barker for coming all the way down to London to celebrate our special occasion.

Thanks to Mad Al… second time I’ve seen you in a suit eh?

Thanks to Alice, Peter, Ben, Amanda C, Lady Boss, Shrapnel, Choima, Annie, Garf, Lizzie, Stephen, Kaz, Char, Min, Brad, Sar and Phil… for celebrating with us… and I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anybody.

Also thanks to the staff in the Long Room, Jason for providing Barney for our wedding car and Ed & his Mrs for the photos.

And for those who were expecting to see the wedding online, we do apologise as the webcam connection to Wandsworth Town Hall was down that day.

Yes… we’re married now… but please don’t call me Mrs Julian Davies… I’m still Yati… You can call me Yati Davies or Mrs Davies… or just call me Yati… that is still my name

Jules has the day off today… and I have to go to work as I have so much to do since I wasn’t at work yesterday due to a medical emergency. Big scare!! But all is all right now.

So today I’ll have to leave instructions to my colleagues, pick up the cake(s), and maybe book a hairdresser… and that will be it.

Flowers? I’ll just buy a bunch of tulips from the flower stall outside the tube station… because (as Tiny would put it) I’m just too raggo!

Is it because I just realised that we haven’t returned the vows to the registry office? Am I stressing as I keep thinking that the rings won’t arrive on time? Could I really do without flowers? I should really do something about my hair as everything else seems to be a mess. How will the guests make their way to the reception venue?

HELP!

Do we have one?

Rik also asked Jules about it a couple of days ago… and I looked around the house… the heap of stuff we have with no where to store and we really do not need anything else to add to the massive clutter we have!!

So no… we don’t have a Wedding List.

But… I told Jules. In Malay weddings, the parents will spend a fortune for the weddings and guests don’t usually give gifts. What they do is contribute some money to the parents for the wedding preparation. The parents usually then give the money to the couple… to help them start they life together.

So… if you do want to give us something… probably the best thing is a Debenham’s gift voucher/card… this will contribute to our future… as some of you might know some news already

Jules decided to have a photographer for the wedding. He told me everything has been sorted out with Iban Monkey! Cool name… so I have no objection especially since he is half Iban (a tribe in Sarawak).

Jules has also organised our wedding car… when I say a car… it’s a lie. It’s not a car… it’s a… well… you’ll just have to wait and see

I’m really looking forward to the wedding photos now!

And I’ve… at long last… ordered the rings. Now we just have to sit here and hope that the rings will arrive on time for the wedding!!!

And… I will sit here and hope that I’ll be able to fit in my wedding dress!!!

17 days to go!

We have less than three weeks now… so I guess we should really shift another gear up and get a move on!

So we head towards Clapham Junction to Moss Bros. Well… the groom has to look good too!

Jules has chosen his suit and at the moment, I have to say he’s going to look better than me! BAH!!

But as he said… he’s just going to get married only once so he wants to look good for it and yes, we will

I went to Konditor and Cook and insisted on the magic cakes. I had seen them on the website and have decided ages ago (probably about 2 weeks ago) that I’d rather have them than a traditional wedding cake.

Ben (the manager) and I sat there discussing about the designs… there’s going to be a bride, a groom, VW campervans, ukuleles and our names here and there. There will be splashes of ivory, pink, black and blue…

Most importantly… they are going to be cute!

Oh! And the very most important fact… another thing off the list!

Out of the girls, only MC replied with her list of thing. What can I say? She’s a fussy, posh, very particular about everything bird… but we love her anyway.

Jules suggested sate ayam for starters. I thought cool… but MC doesn’t eat chicken.

Jules really wanted Beef Wellington (without mushroom) for main course. Good English food… but MC specified that she does not do non-Italian sauces. Jules is happy to have her portion of the gravy.

Jules aslo wants spuds with his Beef Wellington. I was like… uh-oh… MC doesn’t do boiled potatoes… but it’s OK as Jules was thinking of roast spuds.

So, after all that, when we got to the reception venue, the manager came up with a cunning plan… rather than have a proper sit down meal, we’ve now opted for a buffet style meal!

Sorted!

Everybody can have a bit of everything and don’t have to eat anything they don’t like!

That’s the wedding reception done
