Wedding Reception is so important that I leave most of the preparation ideas to my wife. I don’t want to ruin something truly special.
That is why I wasn’t really exactly sure how my wife would react if I tell her I would like us to have a little fun during the stressful preparations of the event.
Most receptions I know of have Audio-Visual Presentation (AVP) where the videographer shows an MTV-like presentation of the couple’s love-story (like how they met). For the guests, it’s a quick summary of the husband and wife’s journey to forever. Cute.
But it feels obsolete and over-done to me.
That’s why when I saw this short video of the Parker couple (actress Eva Longoria and NBA basketball player Tony Parker) doing a spoof of “Summer Nights” (from the movie Grease), I thought it would be fun to do something like that.
Watch the clip below:
When I showed to my wife and asked her if we could do the same, she said yes without any hesitation. I was excited. I told her I would be in-charge of it.
Problem is: how can I pull this one off? Are we going to need a good NY video production company to shoot and direct us? I don’t think so.
The final product doesn’t have to be as polished as the Parker’s above. I have seen amateur spoofs produced by students. Not as good, but it looks as fun. The point is we show to our guests – which are mainly family members, close friends, and relatives – what type of couple we are.
Seven months to go, and I and my wife will “re-tie” the knot. We had been married since the August of 2009 civilly, but the religious ceremony will be in August this year.
The wife has been doing the planning all year long. We had set a budget for the wedding as we do not overspend for the big event. The goal is to have some savings after the wedding. We do not want to start with a negative or zero balance.
It is not easy as it seems.
Looking for a quality suppliers (photographers, catering, etc) that offer reasonable prices for services and products is like watching the game of tennis following the ball bounce from one end to the other. Once you thought you have the right supplier, another one will come up with a different enticing offer. This photographer will offer cheap wedding invitations, while the other one will offer it for free. There’s always a catch for something.
Thankfully, my wife is one smart lady who knows how to negotiate. I don’t know if I could do it myself. When I was still a bachelor, I wanted the best wedding among my friends. I
realized, I do not have to work it out myself. I need a perfect partner to make it happen.
Watching all these preparations materialize, I know I made the right choice.
I dreamt of getting a brand new car. Unfortunately, I was illegible to get an auto-loan without a guarantor. My father had a bad credit, therefore he couldn’t help me out so I had to settle for an old Honda that I bought from a family friend.
It is serviceable in city driving. Meaning, I only had planned destinations like from Point A to Point B to be comfortable of using it. Any sudden plans, I would not trust my old Honda to bring us to our destinations.
That is why a brand new car remains one of my goals this year. But is there someone who can help me out in finances?
And then I discover CreditLoan.com. I’ve read that they offer auto loans. They also offer tips and guides for those with bad credits who are planning to get a new car.
When I am ready to get a new car to replace my old Honda, I will be more than willing to revisit CreditLoan.com and sharpen my knowledge of loans and car finances. And if you are like me, you are going to do the same thing.
I have always dreamed of a perfect setup for a home theater when I get a nice house and build a family. It should be a perfect place for the family to spend a nice Sunday afternoon watching a movie, relaxing and enjoying the company of each other.
Problem is, I only know basic setup. So when the right time comes, I might opt to call professionals to do the home theater installation.
I realize that to get the ideal theater, the right people should help you do the job. Good news is there are companies like Fast-teks that can setup your ideal home theater professionally. Now I don’t have to worry if I can install my TV and speakers properly. I’ll just sit and enjoy the movie with my wife and kids, or even invite some friends to watch an exciting basketball game.
Sounds like a winner scenario to me.

I consider myself a jack-of-all trades when it comes to computers. I can do tech support, I can code, I can do basic graphic design, I can make a website. Of all these, creating a website is the one I find the easiest and the most fun.
However, those are only my gigs, as I am a computer teacher during the day. My 9-5 job takes the number 1 spot in my priority list. Which simply means I may need help when I can not multi-task anymore.
When that happens, I usually look for a helping hand to accomplish my goals. And for building a website, I discovered that http://www.dbtechdesign.com/tampa-web-design.html” rel=”nofollow”>Tampa Web design can help me out attain my objectives. Their motto, “Professional Results on a Personal Level”, perfectly describes how I work with my clients, who are mostly local residents of my community.
Like me, they offer varieties of services that are related to web design. I checked their portfolio and saw their works which are all fabulous. From personal sites to business sites, it seems like the sky is the limit in terms of their skills.
Based on what I saw, I won’t be embarrassed to recommend them to my clients just in case I need a firm helping hand.
