Actually, Jan 10, 2015 was not my first choice. My first choice for our wedding date was Dec 20, 2014 - an auspicious wedding date for a couple born in 1986 and 1985. But unfortunately, almost all event places were fully booked and the churches as well! Only hotels were available for wedding reception which was not okay for me. So we (me and nan) decided to move the date to an auspicious weekend date in January 2015. So Jan 10, 2015 it is.
Okay....
