Last One Before the Big Day
So it's happening tomorrow. Everything seems to be pretty much ready now, apart from maybe 1 CD, but that's only going to involve about 2 or 3 songs.

Between arranging all the little things for the wedding and hanging out with my dad and stepmum (along with Nhu's parents), it's been a pretty busy week, to say the least, with little rest.

Didn't help that Monday was a recovery day from two days non-stop drinking, due to the Cambodia stag night - drinking started before we even got on the bus in Saigon, and (with the exception of sleep), didn't stop until sometime after we were back on Sunday. So Cambodia was a big hazy memory, but it was a fun one. Not sure that shooting M16s and shotguns was such a good idea when drunk, but we didn't have such thoughts at the time,  and the guys running the place didn't seem to have a problem with it.

The rest of the night just got hazier and hazier.

But we did lose one of our men in Cambodia. Because he forgot to check his Vietnam visa before crossing the border, and didn't realise until too late that it had been expired for two days. Not good when we were all expected to be back at work on Monday, but quite hilarious, and very him. No-one at work was surprised that it happened, when they heard about it on Monday. He finally made it in on Wednesday.

Finally got a nice bit of a rest this afternoon though, burning the CDs for the wedding (different ones for the dinner and the dancing.) I hope some people appreciate the Star Wars lounge music I've thrown in there :)

One more dinner tonight, with our families at Nhu's house, and then it's an early morning where my friends come along to help me deliver trays of gifts to her house where we'll do the ceremony. (There's a break in the afternoon before the party begins though... nap time!)

Congratulations!

It sounds like a terrific time. Busy and alcohol-soaked, but terrific.

Best wishes!

Before you moved back to Asia, you lived in the wrong part of the USA. (I will be adding this to my list of similarities between Scotland and Texas.)

Best wishes for the wedding!

Big congrats to both of you! We went with our own music, too. The Taiwanese wedding singers are murder (I can imagine the Vietnamese ones must be on par).

May the Force Be With You (and Also with Nhu)!

Did I ever tell you we walked down the aisle to the SW theme music? People cheered. It was cool.

Seriously, man, CONGRATS! I'm very happy for you :)

I didn't know that, but that's awesome! We didn't have an aisle to walk down in our wedding, not in the traditional sense anyway, although there was something similar, which I'll have to write up on LJ soon ;)
