We first got the total guests expected by both families, and concluded that there would be at least a thousand five hundred of them attending, a big number eh.....what can we expect when its the first wedding on both sides!
From here we narrowed down the halls with the right capacity and environment. And yes there are many halls which are big and non air conditioned, I would not know why. With the wonderfully hot weather in Malaysia and as the wedding was scheduled to be in the late morning, at around 10.30a.m. to about 12.00pm, it was only right for us to get a venue fully air conditioned.
As we decided to have the wedding in Klang town,(Anand is from here) there were only three halls available. After viewing the places and the charges we finally decided on the Teng Chin Hall which is located about ten minutes away from Anand's home. I was already having a picture of my wedding taking place there. The huge hall, the grand stage, air conditioned and the huge parking space was just superb! Even the changing rooms for the bride and groom was spacious and neat!
That was it! Initial payment was made and phew, that was done! Now comes the next agenda, the planner and of course the make up artist :) for me....
