Thanks again for the congrats everyone. (F) (F) (F)

Susie, it seems your wedding planning is going so well, it is never too early to start planning the BIG DAY, you might even discover on the day itself that you have still forgotten or overlooked something so the longer the planning the lesser the stress when the actual day comes and also the least possibility that something would go wrong.

I especially love your ring and also the last gown in the pics. :yes:

I read that no matter how much planning you do, you always end up forgetting one thing for the wedding day. But I agree, the longer the planning is the least stressful it will be!

I would just like to share one of the best thing that happened when I was in Manila (the capital city of the Philippines which is about 4hours-- by bus+plane-- from my place). I met up with some of other filipina vjers the night before my interview and we had a blast. We did the planning in the Philippine forum and it turned out fun. We did have a name tag with real name and vj screen name to be able to identify who is who. :D We had dinner together and then lots of picture taking.

Some of those who join the meet up are still waiting for NOA2, a few had been interview already. Some are on K3, some on the CR1/IR1 visa.

I hope I would also be able to meet some of my january filers family in person someday soon. :thumbs:
