stuff after wedding
October 26, 2008
Some people would ask, how’s married life?
Not much difference I guess. It’s more convenient as I don’t have to dash back and forth between my home, his home. one drawback, both of us have a lot of stuff and when those stuff put together in 1 house, there’s only 1 word: chaos :). Well, I tried my best to sort through those, throw away stuff we don’t use, donate good stuff but never-used for all sort of reasons, and just organize things. What’s nightmare is our closet management. I still have bunch of clothes and girl stuffs need to be organized. Hopefully, I can get it all done by the end of this week.
A side effect of this, I don’t have time to sort and upload pictures on our website and write those thank-you notes. So, for those of you who read this, please bear with me. I’m not saying that my new hubby won’t help me but… I think this is girls stuff and I don’t trust him that much that he’ll do exactly as what I want (Sorry, hubby, this is not me, this is the micro-managing side of me talking ^.^). I promise myself that everything will be done before we went back to our home country. Cross your finger ;)
Mrs. sulistyo :)

Officially become a Mrs. Sulistyo…
Well, I decided not to change my last name….yet…. There are so many numbers I have to call once I decided to change my name. I think there’s a service provider somewhere that will help me contacting those people when I change my name but that’s not my priority now. Bottom point, I’ll keep my name.
The wedding was great I think… There were small very minor glitches here and there but nobody is perfect and by the end of the day, I felt really happy, fabulous, gorgeous, wonderful, etc. etc….When I walked down the aisle escorted by my dad, I was really nervous and as I’m approaching the altar, I just can’t stop looking at Edy and felt how glorious the day (and everything) is.
I’m really glad that everything perfectly comes together nicely. I’ve prepared for the cake, the florist, the chair cover, etc. and one of my worries is that while it looks good individually, it will look not-so-good putting together but I think I’m worrying over nothing. Everything looks perfect in my eyes, the flowers were really beautiful, the cake was gorgeous, everything just fit nicely together. Oh, by the way, I like the second tier of my cake where there is a bow just like my dress’ belt. I also love to see Edy’s face when we all started singing the happy birthday song and the surprised golf birthday cake being carted into the ballroom. I just love every single details of the wedding… :) I’d like to thank all of our friends as well who has participated on our wedding, without your help, the wedding wouldn’t be as beautiful as it is. Especially for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, you all were there for us from very early in the morning until late into the night. We really really appreciate your support and love. There’s special person whom I’d like to thank as well, Fonny, without her help, I don’t know what the day will be like. She makes sure everything is in place and went well. She’s a wonderful lady, an efficient orgnizer, she’s just a really great help to us.
We took our bridal party pictures at Inniswood park and while there was some chilly wind occasionally, the wheather is great overall. Mark took beautiful shots and we all were having fun, I won’t be able to forget about this even if I want to.
I really thank God for his blessing and his presence throughout the day that everything went so perfectly and special.
this is the DAY!!!
October 18, 2008
It’s 5.45AM now, one miracle happen this early morning, I woke up at 5.20 am! I never, NEVER able to wake this early without any divine intervention…I guess I’m just excited for the day to begin.
My feeling today? It’s a mixture of thousand different feelings. What are they? Hmmm…..happy, curious about how the day will unravel, excited, excited, and excited 
no other words than excited. Finally, after more than a year of preparation, here we are.
The makeup artist will knock my door really soon so I’d better get ready now…
Byeeee….
1 day to go
October 17, 2008
Today was really a busy day…
I started my day at 9 AM, getting some final details done, then I dashed to the florist to check my bouquet and other flowers he wanted me to look at. The bouquet is REALLY beautiful, a combo of orange and yellow. I love the bouquet jewels placed in the bouquet, it’s oh-so-sparkly and beautiful….Thanks to the many bridal magazine that I found this pretty little things and I think I made the right decision when I ordered those jewels.
Next stop is the Charles Penzone salon to get my nails french-polished. There was really no time to do that but I managed to sneak in some time to get my nails done Then, Edy and I got our engagement picture session with our photographer at several places around Columbus. Mark Ridout, our photographer, showed us some of the pictures from his camera and oh boy, he made beautiful shots! I can’t wait to see the final product….
Finally, we had our rehearsal at St. Peter followed by rehearsal dinner at Chinese restaurant close to the church. I was afraid that we (Edy and I) can’t make it on-time for th erehearsal at 7 and it turns out that we arrive at the church exactly on 7.00 PM. Well, a bit late (We need to be there like 30 mintues before) but we made it, so everything should be fine. Wow, tomorrow is the wedding day. It’s getting real! 
So many things to do still and it’s late already. I have to wake up before 6 AM tomorrow :-| See you on the next post!
3 days…

dear hubby-to-be, it’s about time that you contributed to this blog
Thanks for loving me so much and I can’t believe myself that I’ll be a wife very soon. The word seem to be far-fetched but now I’m there. I really thank God for His blessing that allow us to come to this stage on our relationship. Let’s work together as we’ll begin our next journey in life. May God always bless us all…
Love you so much…
4.5 days to go…
October 13, 2008
This is the first time ever I contribute to this blog… Life really comes at you fast and in 4.5 days, I will stand in front of families and friends to seal our marriage.
Few weeks ago, I was soooo nervous about the ’day’, but as the time goes by, I did not feel nervous anymore and I felt really calm. However, just few minutes ago, I printed the church program and as I read through the detail, my hand is shaking really strong. I feel that I’m sooo excited that make me soooo nervous…
If you asked me what makes me nervous the most, I would replied back and say I don’t know. I really don’t know what makes me nervous, I know it’s not about the vow, I know it’s not about the speech, and I know it’s not about arlene it self. The only reason I can think right now is I’m nervous because I’m sooo in love with Arlene and I’m too excited. God is so kind for both of us and I can’t believe that our journey as couple will be taken to the next level, I can’t believe that our wedding day is just 4.5 days from now, I can’t believe that I will be a husband soon.
7 days and keep counting…
October 11, 2008
Uh…oh… it’s getting closer and closer:)
One thing worries me, I’m still getting occasional cough and I want to be 100% healthy during the wedding. It’s not fun to cough in front of the altar and how awkward it will be :(.
There are still so many little things to do, have to finalize some more details with vendors, and it’s only 7 days away now. I keep praying to God that He will make everything okay and all will be fine. Amen…
10 days to go
October 8, 2008
Wow, 10 days left. I decided to jot down a short note here.
My parents are coming to town today! their flight is scheduled to land in Columbus at 5.30 this afternoon. Oh, I’m sooo excited…

Happy birthday Edy!!
Yes, today is Edy’s birthday and among our plenty to-do list we need to get done with today, we manage to spare some time to get a romantic dinner together, our last date before we become husband and wife :). We went to Rosendales at Short North area downtown, a chic new restaurant there and have the 5-course tasting menu. The food was really great and the presentation was really artistic. We thought it’s just going to be 5 small course but they sneaked in some additional (smaller) course in between and 2 kinds of dessert at the end. Blast our diet! the food was too great to waste :). We left the restaurant feeling really bloated and happy.
closer and closer…

12 days to the wedding!
I’m finally done with the seating chart and the RSVP list is pretty much complete. I met my florist again last Saturday, visit the Hotel for some fine details and here I am. What a busy weekend. And my parents will arrive here in Columbus in 2 days! I’m so excited. These days I’m very busy and almost can’t find time to update this blog. But, luckily I manage to squeeze some time today.
