Shang-ed! One down....

Ok, so things have been really quite on the wedding prep front for the last coupla months...mostly we've been trying to find/negotiate our venues for the solemnisation and dinner. Well, we've finally bitten the bullet for the dinner and signed up (and paid alot of moolah) with Shangri-La for our wedding dinner - *gulp* no turning back...no turning back...

So with our wedding date fixed for 19 September 2009, the headache now is to find a solemnisation venue. And not just any solemnisation venue, but it needs to be in a church. Cos I'd always thought I'd get married in a church. =)

Unfortunately, our church doesn't have a nice chapel to call its own so we're forced to hunt for a chapel that's available for rental to non-members of the church. And that has been a real challenge....so far, we've only found a few, but for one reason or another, they aren't real options for us at the moment, so I guess the search continues...

Honestly, it's been frustrating...especially when we hear that a really nice chapel's available for rental only to find out upon enquiry that it's either not available on our date or that the rental policy has since been changed to exclude non-members. But with every dashing of hopes, it's been a reminder of needing to have faith and trusting that God will provide...somehow.
