I got engaged a few weeks ago. It has been an exciting few weeks. But it's also a bit stressful. So many things to think about. I usually recommend brides who aren't familiar with the industry to hire a wedding planner. I have decided to not hire a wedding planner. I work for a party rental company and would be able to get rentals easily. I am in contact with people in the industry. I can ask them questions easily. I need an on-day coordinator. I have someone in mind for that position.
My biggest hurdle now is finding a venue. We will be deciding on a date in the next few days. I am looking for a venue that can hold 400 people for a sit down dinner. Because the guest list is large, we are limited to a small selection of venues. My last choice is to go to a Chinese restaurant. It limits me to a few venues and some hotel ballrooms.
Here are my requirements:
- hopefully in Vancouver, farthest will be Surrey or Coquitlam
- guests will be sitting in round tables of 10 (or something close to that)
- has a stage
- has a screen and projector
- has an in house music system and/ or something that a laptop can be plugged in
- has a working microphone
- has a dance floor
It's been difficult but I'm sure I will be able to find something soon. I will have to check out the venues and see how it goes from there.

Day 7 in Cali (March 6, 2011) - Canucks at Anaheim
It was a fun day for us. We had to drive to Anaheim to watch the game. The game started at 5pm. Because I didn't get a chance to see my relatives, it was the day to spend a few hours with them. We had lunch at my cousins house. There was so much food. Most of my relatives showed up for lunch. I have been seeing them once a year for the last three years. After lunch, we headed over to another cousin's house to see her new place.
Time to head to the Duck Pond. On the way there, this is what we saw:
Im sure you noticed the 'Nevada' license plate first. Look closely you will see the two Canucks flags.
There were six of us heading to the game: me, R, my sister, her husband, and my sister's two friends. We were all wearing Canucks jerseys. Four of us met my sister's two friends at the Duck Pond.
Here is a picture of inside the stadium: - pick out the Anaheim fans....see you can't, can you??
It was amazing there. It was like being at a Canucks home game. Everywhere I went, I saw a Canucks fan. We started saying 'Go Canucks Go!' and we started the wave. Of course only the Canucks did the wave. When the game ended and I went to the bathroom, the lineup was comprised of Canucks fans. Like the LA game, when they were giving away prizes they tried not to give it to Canucks fans. They even went into the stands to give away the prizes. They had to maneuver around the Canucks fans to give the prizes to the home team fans.
Another reason that it felt like a home game, there were green men and woman. They weren't the 'real' ones..but it was close enough. You can even see one on the bottom right corner of the above picture.
The Ducks were so jealous that we had green men now they have orange people. So our nice green people came down to say HI to the orange people. It was cool to see them all get along.
I guess the Canucks felt our winning energy because they did their best and won the game. We got to see the Canucks win two games on the road. Most of the Ducks fans left when there was 5 minutes left in the 3rd period. The Canucks had 3 goals and Ducks 0. The Canucks fans were cheering and hollering all the way outside. What a way to end a great weekend!
