Money. A sensitive issue. Although, it seems one of the first questions we're asked when we tell people we're planning a wedding in Hawaii is, "Who's paying for the wedding?". Well, we are. Although my dad generously offered to pay for our luau reception/dinner. Mr. Mek and I will be paying for everything else, the bulk of the trip.
A few months ago I applied at a few retail stores in hopes that having a part-time job (on top of my current full-time job) would bring in extra income. Well, during the summer-time, retail stores aren't exactly booming with new hirees. Now I'm relieved that I wasn't called for an interview. I've been doing sooo much free-lancing photography that I barely have time to myself (let alone Mr. Mek). I haven't had a free weekend since the end of August. Since September 1st, I've done 3 weddings, a "1-year anniversary shot (from a wedding I did last year), and an Officer's ball. Besides being able to build up my portfolio and gain more experience, I've been able to pocket a nice chunk of change!
I gotta admit, I was hoping the retail job would help when it came to holiday shopping (store discounts!), but I really think I got the better end of the deal!
