11 years ago and counting

Posted by on Oct 25, 2008 in Uncategorized

Exactly 11 years ago my guy and I got married in Seoul, Korea. Then we had another wedding in Perth in January on the following year. It was a logical decision as we couldn’t mobilize two families in Korea and Australia. 

I heard that one could renew a vow after 10 or 25 years of marriage. Because I would really like to try a vintage lace wedding gown I’m hanging out for the renewal and the whole shebang. Not long now. 14 more years to go! Yeepee.*

*Come on guys you’re not seriously believing what I’m saying, right?! That’s not to say that I would mind receiving some suggestions on seriously gorgeous vintage lace wedding dresses!

    Oh, I love the photo!
    My husband and I got married without any planning. Woke up one day and decided to go down to city hall and get married. No wedding gown, no guests, no photos, yet it was such a beautiful experience.

    This is a picture from your wedding? (The only reason I second guess is because it’s so gorgeous it looks straight out of a magazine! :) ) And if so… oh my goodness you look STUNNING, that dress is simple gorgeous, your make-up and everything is perfection, I also love his outfit, and that’s it’s not the typical black tux, you both look superb! And hm, well I pretty much never look at wedding dresses, so sorry I don’t have any suggestions for your vow renewal… in 14 years! hehe Hey it doesn’t hurt to plan early! ;)

    Oh and I almost forgot, I gave you the Premio Dardos award on my blog (it’s the third blog category, there are quite a few), hope you like it! :)

    And Songy thank you SO much for your thoughtful email; I haven’t decided what to do yet but your words made me even more excited about the possibilitry of teaching in South Korea. You are the BEST!

    OMG – You are a vision! And the guy’s not bad either :-) Scott looked at this and said, what a gorgeous dress. And he’s just some guy who doesn’t care about dresses! Congrats on so many years together. (Did the bottom of your dress get totally trashed by the fine gravel??)

    jen (mahalofashion): Thank you. Glad to know that you enjoyed it.

    issa: Yay.. do try to do something special for your 10th. Another round of photoshoot will be fab. I’m sure Roz will look fab with a vintage number.

    the seeker: thank you. My guy is super happy after reading your comment. Very kind of you.

    wendyb: Thanks mam’m!

    mr style: That’s quite a compliment, Mr. Style. How are you keeping up in Paris?

    glory:Thank you.

    susanna-cole:
    Yeah, Korean wedding photographers are great. They know exactly what to tell us. Where to put our fingers etc. The make up was done by my friend. He picked his own stuff. He is a stylish guy himself. :) I just read your post. Thank you so much. It means a great deal receiving something like that from you.

    sal: Thank you, Sal. You always make me happy.

    maría: Thank you for that. My husband is super happy.

    couture carrie: I do my best.. kidding. Thank you. He is really happy with all these ‘Handsome’ comments. :) Hope you make a decision that is right for you.

    enc: Thank you, Enc. It’s a long time but it doesn’t feel that way. It’s a good thing right?

    k.line: Say Hi to Scott for me! LOL actually it wasn’t too bad. The site was quite clean . Maybe they had a speical cleaning squad for wedding shoots.

    theresa: happy to have found you as well. Thank you for your kind words.

    fashion herald: Yes, indeed I will have to do some serious saving. I might even try to hire one actually. :)

    Roz: Thank you, Roz. Issa tells me you’re after a vintage dress for your wedding. I can’t wait to see you!

    my fashion frenzy: Thank you!

    ingvild marie: Thank you. I’ll have to check out your blog now.

    brigadeiro: Thank you, Yes it’s been a while now and many more years to go! :)
