wedding planning update: i called a couple of churches that my mom found in the phonebook and thru some friends. the ones that i talked to only wed members of the church, so i guess we can't go there. juana emailed me with a couple of sources and told me about the church that wed her 5 years ago. it was only $600 to rent out the church. *wow* i have yet to find a church that costs less than a thousand dollars to rent out. my brother was really lucky last year. they were able to find a church for about $700 or $800. many people are telling me to just get wed at the same church, but i don't want to. plus as of this year they raised their price as well as marrying members only. *oh well* the church in palo alto is looking mighty good to me day by day.
my wedding coordinator jana tells me that it is time for me to start trying on wedding dresses. sooo not on the top of my list right now. i've looked through magazines but still haven't seen anything i really like, but there are many possibilities. i am looking forward to trying some on, just not yet. my friend cindy suggested i start clipping pictures out, so i'll prolly narrow a few things down.
i went out to dinner with jung's family for an early father's day dinner. we went to a restaurant on irving street, a fancy chinese restaurant, kind of like koi palace in daly city. it was pretty tasty, but i dotn' remember the name of the restaurant. during dinner, like usual dinners with the jungs and like typical chinese parents, they compared both park and parkin to their friends and friend's children. talking about who got married, who has a better job, how much their friends make, how parkin should have gone to pharmacy school, how both park and parkin majored in fields that they are not in now. i would have thought that mr. jung would be happy that both of their boys joined him in the family business, but it doesnt seem that way sometimes. i know that park and parkin do a lot at the company and dont' get enough credit for it. i know that what mr and mrs jung say at the dinner table also reflect on me because i am not a teacher as i had planned to be when i studied at sjsu. *frown*
we also talked about the wedding for a little while. it's overwhelming to think about how many people the jungs know and who they plan or do not plan to invite.
after dinner, we went back to the house and i called my mom to chit chat for a little while, then dana called and we chat for a bit, then i called anchalee to see what was going on with our bridesmaid dresses. we had chosen a dress on sunday and all of us loved it, but i guess she was thinking about it, and because it is a strapless number, she's afraid that it's not appropriate for the church and her family. i guess her family from thailand is very conservative and she does not want to offend them in any way. i told her that it was her decision, but honestly, it was a very classy dress that i didnt' think was too showy, but she is still wary. she also decided that she doesn't want her sister to be her maid of honor anymore because she isnt' very responsible, so anchalee may also move some bridesmaids around. who knows. so many little problems, poor thing. after i talked to her, i went to the computer room to see parkin playing mj on the computer once again, and me still being in a chit-chatty mood, called may -no answer, ivy -no answer, then liz and she answered! yay. we talked for a bit and decided to meet for lunch next week. satisfied with my chats, i got ready for bed and lay to sleep. as much as i wanted to stay up to talk with jung like we used to always do, i just couldn't. *yawn*
