other couples' weddings stress me out

i've just seen the three page email for the wedding of a couple we know here in bangkok (i'll get to the lovely printed invites momentarily. they sent out the email since there are people coming in from all over the world for the event).

the wedding is a two day event. ceremony and dinner at super-posh hotel in the city on the first day. dinner and dancing at very trendy and chic night club the second day.

we all have to wear some orange for the ceremony, since it's a lucky color in Thailand (the bride is Thai, the groom is Dutch). for the night club part, we are instructed to wear all white.

there is a website dedicated to this event (is that normal now?)

and the invitations...

well. they are lovely. the couple had a designer create a logo for them. two actually. one for the back and one for the front. the first one is a siloutte of the two of them, done all in white. the second one (on the back of all the pieces of paper) is a little padlock with their names on it, since they got engaged in Rome on a bridge where everyone apparently puts padlocks with their lovers' names on them.

did i mention that at the singapore wedding i was at a few weeks ago, the bride changed 4 times (including hair and makeup)?

i now resigned to the fact that no matter how hard i try, my wedding will never be the best wedding i've ever been to. :(
