ok, this is more of a rant than anything else, but a couple of people have already started inviting themselves, or at least assumed they're invited to our wedding. a girl i went to elementary school with found me on facebook and we've been catching up. so now she's moving back to vancouver after living in japan for a few years and she's wondering when our wedding is so she can make sure she can come. what the heck? i haven't replied or told her when the wedding is. i've mentioned our wedding in passing, but never in detail.
i was afraid this might happen. we intended our wedding to be small-ish. 100 people max. we are definately not inviting everyone we know, just friends and family we are close to. "close" is the key word. if we haven't kept in touch in the last 5 - 10 years, chances are, you won't be invited. if we did, our guest list would resemble a full out filipino wedding where you have 20 sponsors, 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen and 8 ring bearers and flowergirls. HAH not going to happen.
i've been really careful to not talk about the wedding or mention it to people whom we know will not be invited, but i guess it didn't work. people hear it from other people and before you know it, i'm getting emails asking when our wedding is so that they can book time off or plane tickets.
in other news, i wrote my advanced underwriting course yesterday and it was the shits. why a 20 point question on aviation risks? who writes aviation risks?? not commercial insurers that's for sure. don't know why they would have that on the exam. not practical at all.
alas, one more course to go and i get my CIP designation, wahoo!

i know i demanded an invite (WHERE'S MY INVITE BIOTCH!) but i better not be one of the people you're referring to in this post! but if i am, you can tell me and because of my magnanimous heart, i forgive you already. wwjd? forgive sarah her transgressions.
are you inviting any lfa facebook people to the wedding?
when i get married, i want it to be small. like 2 people max. I.E. just me and my husband. ok that might be a little extreme but i don't want to be surrounded by people who mean nothing to me, as is inevitably the case in filipino weddings.
i know what you mean. i'm not inviting a lot of extended family, just because it'd be too many people and besides, it's not like we keep in touch. i've narrowed it down to aunts and uncles and my first cousins. none of my cousin's kids and their kids and etc because i don't want my wedding to be a kids' playground. children shrieking and running around...the only kids who are coming are jason's nephews and niece but that's because they're immediate family. i have no nieces or nephews so i don't have to worry about that.
the only lfa ppl i'm inviting is YOU, mamoser and donna. and you didn't demand an invite did you? ha ha ha i'm pretty sure i asked if you would be able to fly out for it.... :o)
you will get your invite as soon as we order them! ha ha we haven't even looked at invitations yet. we're going to book our honeymoon this weekend though. we've decided on either turks & caicos or st lucia.
what? turks and shit and santa shit? if you're doing the tropical beach thing, might as well hit up the motherland!!
