Kim & Joe's Sneak Peek

Joe's Take:

I remember the first time I saw Kim she was crossing the street going to the Federal Courthouse in Reno. I was working at the Public Defender's Office across the street and my friend was dating one of her crosswalk companions. I put in my request for a "set-up" immediately but we didn't officially meet until after a UNR-UNLV game. Can you believe I fell for a girl in UNLV red?! Regardless, from the "HALF" date, to Sezmu, to "Little Miss Sunshine", to the secret Flying Trapeze date, I've been enamored of Kim and can't wait to be married to her. Along with her beauty, I'm continually impressed by her intellect and ceaseless curiosity. I also love her little quirks. She dances when she's getting ready. She hates leftovers but cooks for four even though she lives alone. And she locks the car doors no matter where we are (if we were pulling into the Pentagon, she'd lock the doors)! But even if I have to replace my door handle because I've pulled it off, I can't wait to have her riding by my side! Kim's Take: I moved to Reno with the expectations of friends, trying new things, and then moving East after the end of my clerkship. I never expected to meet the man I would marry there! But how could I resist a guy who sneaks roses into my office in the federal courthouse (after convincing security), scrapes ice off my windows before I even wake up, leaves flowers on my doorstep for me to find on the way to work, and finds ways to surprise me as much as he can (from flying trapeze dates to the proposal)? One of the many things I love about Joe is how he never stifles any of my dreams. When I was in Reno, I still yearned for a big city experience. Joe never discouraged it and said we’ll make it work! And we did! Now, I get to live out another dream and marry a man whom I love and admire for his patience, wit, intellect, athleticism, and honesty. In words of wisdom from Jo Dee Messina, I’ve always said, “I want a man that stands beside me, not in front of or behind me.” I’ve found that man in Joe and can’t wait to marry him in October!

Nothing special

Sorry folks for the extremely long hiatus. It all started ever since Mr. C came back to Malaysia. We've been busy with his brother's wedding, spending time with his and my family and friends. This week itself, we made it to the land of smiles for a week with his parent.

If you're clueless as to the whereabouts of the land of smiles- it's Thailand!

This has been a relaxing week. Despite that, I still had time to entertain some random thoughts, some not so positive. I try to blog this past week but besides the slow internet connection, I find myself struggling to blog anything. I have several drafts on places I've travelled to, ate at and some on certain issues I would like to talk about such as organ donation, abortion, cheating/affairs, condom and safe sex and the list just goes on.

However, when it comes to my sitting down and typing it out, I realised that I find it hard to string my thoughts into words. It would seem that I do not have the flair whatsoever to write and that itself is disheartening especially as I aspire to pen at least one novel in my entire lifetime.

Who would want to read my writings when it's uninteresting and flat? No drama. No cutesy antics. Just plain 'ol me. And that's what I think about myself most times- some one that lacks own thoughts and opinions. Ramblings all over the place.

But to look at the glass as half full, I guess I could say that this is something that can be worked on. I gather that people seem to be able to relate more when I blog rather emotional matters. These days, trying not to touch on my personal life much, it would seem that I take out the personal touch from my blog.

I find that I lack wit and any form of intellect. I don't provide mind stimulating conversations nor do I have any sense of humour. I am just a plain jane. The harder I try, the harder it seems to make anything out of something.

So, how does a plain jane blossom to be a more enticing individual?

Bonnie & Ken's Wedding

Bonnie and Ken chose Edgewood Country Club in Stateline, Nevada for their wedding site and reception venue. Lake Tahoe was particularly blue during the calm, noon-time ceremony. Crimson red roses and fragrant Asiatic lilies filled the centers of every table, and swags of greens decorated the tree trunk arbor where Bonnie and Ken became husband and wife.

Bonnie had taken a year to plan out even the finest detail for this special day. Her attention to detail and perfection made every element of this fall wedding a day worth remembering for a very long time to come. The beautiful ceremony was filled with traditions including the "tying of the knot" and the ringing of the bells. As part of her vows to Ken, Bonnie sang "You Light Up My Life" with a love that was sincerely heart-felt.

A delicious buffet brunch followed including all the specialties that the catering staff at Edgewood has become famous for. Dancing and mingling at the Lake filled the remainder of the afternoon, and then it was time for Bonnie and Ken to drive off into the sunset towards their happily ever after.

Bonnie and Ken, it was a pleasure being with you on your wedding day, and assisting you with your special day. Whenever I see red roses, I will think of you. My congratulations and sincere best wishes to you for happiness always. xoxo Liane

Lauren & Nick's Wedding

Lauren and Nick chose to be married at St. Teresa's church in South Lake Tahoe. The day was beautiful, no wind, with temperatures in the mid 80's. Lauren looked beautiful in her strapless gown and cathedral-length veil, as she took the arm of her father and headed down the long aisle, towards Nick. The sun shined through the many stained glass windows, as guests and family members witnessed the joining of these two lives. A harpist played music that made the procession and ceremony seem like a fairy tale.

The spiritual ceremony was followed with a buffet dinner reception at Edgewood Country Club in Stateline, Nevada. The tables were decorated with manzanita trees, wrapped with illuminated vases and filled with flower and glass votives that shinned in the evening. Handmade menu cards and individual, hand-baked pies greeted each guest as they were seated. Home made peach and apple pies were served in favor of the traditional wedding cake. Lauren, her sister and mother had worked very hard making all the special details that truly made this reception one of a kind.

Thank you, Lauren & Nick, for the opportunity to assist you with your beautiful wedding. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wonderful families, and being a small part of your wedding day. I will remember you always, and wish you a lifetime of happiness and love. xoxo Liane
