Congrats Eugin!!!

Enjoy the process itself, afterall it's once in a life time.

Eugin · Sep 24th, 2007, 12:54 AM

Thanks, ms piggy. I have to admit I'm not a natural when it comes to planning stuff like this, but thankfully my mother is a pro! Although, we don't always see eye to eye i.e. picking a wedding dress(still working on that), changing my last name(I prefer to keep mine which my mom doesn't agree with) among other things. Well, I just remind myself to take one step at a time!
