Hi everybody I am new to posting. I got engaged earlier this spring but have been focusing on defending my dissertation and now that it is complete, I can fully focus on wedding planning. To give you a little info, I am vietnamese and my fiance is chinese. We will be having New Year wedding. While the cost is a bit higher for holiday, I think lower attendance should offset any increase in expense. Well anyway I just wanted to stop lurking on here and finally start to get my planning in order. I look forward to cotinued reading to all your great advice and having some of my own questions answered!
