12.21.08

What''s with the date?

October 16 is our Anniversary. During our engagement preps/discussions, we really wanted our DATE on the same day of our Anniversary. However, it always falls on a weekday. The only day it will be a weekend (Saturday) is in 2010! Hmm.. I don't think we can wait another 2 years for that.

Since December is the merriest (or marry-est?) month of the year, the best time to celebrate with families, we opted to have it on that month instead. Thinking of the wedding date is not an easy part since this will be the day you'll be celebrating all your life. I initially planned the 12th, but since it's a Friday, I bet not all guests could attend. We wanted a weekend, but I can't get the 20th since it's my parent's wedding Anniversary. So we decided to have it on the 14th (Sunday), unfortunately, our primary choices for the church are no longer available. And then came a decision to have it on the 21st! I tried to justify with Arvin the reasons I chose the latter;

a) It's a weekend
b) It falls before Christmas, so my siblings living abroad can go home for my wedding and spend their holidays with us
c) If you re-arrange 12 (for December), it will be 21, which coincides with the infinity symbol of 8 (for 2008) (haha.. this is the best ever.. I think I'm the only who understands it..)

So that's it. December 21, 2008 it is! I like it better using 12.21.08 (and now you know why.. for emphasis.. haha c",o )
