Aiiiii this time next week...........

[Iani]

I'll be on my way to Abu Dhabi to meet Krish, then flying together to Phils for our wedding.

Meeting the relatives!! I'm scared

Her dad wants to go drinking with me, presumably for that male bonding experience, where we can talk about sport, women, bikes and breaking wind or whatever.

4 weeks away from work, woohoo. Haven't seen her since May so can imagine how excited I am.

Off shopping today for a birthday present to take, it's next month so we won't be together for that. Not sure what to get. She says she likes bags - so I'll pick her up a couple at the checkout at Tesco

all sounds great to me , even the bags from tescos, watch out for the drinking, ithey tried to give me this rum stuff, added that much water to it i did just to hide the taste, have a great time enjoy it all and i think a LV bag is what she would like too

[Iani]

Yes, it's crossed my mind that might happen with the alcohol - get me drunk then pass me a balut I could never be THAT drunk hehe

[Doc Alan]

Great news, I can imagine your excitement, and wish you all the best Hard to advise what to buy for the birthday present ( what about an e-book reader ? ) but I do know how important pasalubong is to our filipino friends .

[andy222]

Have some Tanduay. Puts hairs on your chest. You will have a right headache though after.

Good luck for your upcomming wedding.

My father-in-law speaks a little english and I do not speak cebuano, so I didn't have to have that talk, but we have shared a few beers together.

[jlags90]

Iani, don't forget to have someone throw rice grains to both of you....
Try coconut wine! Husband has been bragging about it's taste with his friends... (make sure to brush teeth though ahahaha)

Excited also... One Filipina to come in to sunny yorkshire!

[bigmarco]

Have a great trip and a fantastic Wedding Ian

Wishing you the very best of luck for your forthcoming wedding in the Philippines, Iani ! I do hope that you managed to find a suitable birthday present

[Iani]

Thanks everyone
Now I'm really feeling nervous. I still haven't packed, it's 5 past 11 at night, and I need to be up at 4am. Hmmmm suppose it's typical bloke stuff.

I bought Krish a really nice bag for her birthday, wasn't even from the ASDA checkout.

Anyway, I just can't think, so I'm logging off. I'll be back when I'm hitched. Arrrgh

... your sense of humour appeals to me, Ian. Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you a safe and pleasant trip, a fabulous to Krish and an altogether GREAT holiday. Bon Voyage!
