Wedding Dessert Tables/Candy Bars

Planning for your dinner reception or a tea party for your wedding? I guess you would most probably be thinking of getting a dessert table. Those pretty looking tables filled with cute macaroons and cupcakes that will most probably make those with a sweet tooth drool! It is a great way for your guest to enjoy some snacks before your wedding dinner or it may also be dessert for those having a buffet style reception. Since we are having a buffet luncheon for our R.O.M (registration of marriage) ceremony, it will be a plus to have a dessert table/candy bar. So these are some that I have found.

Useful Website for Malaysian Brides-To-Be

Wedding preparation is no easy task unless if you were to hire a wedding planner. It can be easy breezy or it can turn into a total nightmare in which you might turn into a bridezilla! You can get advise and tips from your friends and relative who have gotten married or you may have to rely on online resources for information. So here are some of the websites I find useful for brides-to-be in Malaysia.

He popped the question!

I was taken by surprised on 2017 New Year's day during our yearly Christmas gathering. And it was supposed to be a Christmas gathering and not New Year's day gathering. You'll see why later. My boyfriend finally had the courage to ask the four words although it had been quite many months since we discuss about marriage [Don't get me wrong he is the sweetest guy ever!]. We even been to a wedding fair and almost sign up for a pre-wedding photo shoot package!

The proposal was supposed to happen during our yearly gathering to devour turkey for Christmas. Unfortunately, the plan of having dinner on Christmas Eve which is my birthday was foiled. My future father-in-law had contracted H1N1B from Japan and had to be quarantine at home. The dinner was postponed to New Year's day then.

If it was not postponed, I would have already anticipated the whole proposal plan. You would not have guessed that my boyfriend was that dumb to tell me his plans. Anyway, we went to shop for the engagement ring together. Not a common practice but I think it is a great idea. The guy will be sure that the ring is something her style. More importantly, the tentative date to collect the ring was 31 December. I thought that he could not make his plans come true but I was wrong. He had secretly collected the ring even before my birthday. The plan would have worked out if wasn't for another unexpected incident.

During the week of my birthday, he told me that the ring store called him up telling that collection has to be delayed. I was really not expecting him to lie to me about it and that the ring was already been collected.

On New Year's day, I was lazy to dress up since it was just a gathering at his house. I totally regretted it and nothing can change that day anymore. When I first saw him, he was clad in his casual T-shirt and shorts as usual. Then he disappeared to nowhere but I thought he probably just went to the toilet to do a number two. What is a gathering without eating? I then proceed to take food from the table. It was then, he came out all dressed up with a bouquet of flowers with Mickey and Minnie. My mind went blank for a second. Questions began flooding into my head like a waterfall. I was stunned to see the ring. Reality hits back and I realized that I barely caught up with his speech. 

All the questions I have been wondering throughout the week was answered. Why had the maid ironed a collared shirt. Why his family went out to mall after a tiring day coming back from Japan. Why the receipt of the ring was missing in his room. 

My blog, mainly filled with food posts might take a sudden turn into a bride-to-be blog instead. I do hope that future brides or brides-to-be will find information I share in the near future to be useful as most information online are quite outdated and limited.
