319 Organising the Wedding - Part 2
Tuesday, continued …
James hearing his name, entered the breakfast room from the outside garden where the children were loving spending time with Hou Jang, and the Elder Hou\'s."What is the problem?"
"Rosemary knows something why Hou Yi and Anna are looking to have their wedding ceremony in two months, and she will not tell, citing patient confidentiality, your are not going to do the same thing, or will I have to get Adam, Ben, Wayne and Susan onto you about it."
"Rachael, Rosemary is right, patient confidentiality, and Susan if she was here would tell you the same thing.So do not try."
James paused, and said "Anna, Susan and I were speaking earlier, and she said that I needed to remind you about Hannah and Pippa\'s dance school trip in few weeks time, where you agreed to go with the girls.The Dance school has said they can arrange for another family to be responsible for the girls on the flight, provided you meet them at the airport and remain with the girls until the end.You need to speak to Susan, and she will give you the contact details for the dance school and the travel agent who arranged the trip.She will text you the numbers to call."
"OK let me sort that out first, then we can talk about the other."
James showed Anna the number, and taking into account the time difference, she knew that it would be OK to call them.
Twenty Minutes, later, she ended the call."Well, what did they say?"
"They will be emailing me the itinerary, but they are happy for the children to still go, given a friend of Susan\'s has agreed to care for them on the flights.We spent time arguing over what I am going to do, in that I will arrange for two bodyguards to go across to Australia to accompany the children to Hong Kong."
"Yi and I will, once we have the itinerary talk to the airline and upgrade the girls tickets to either business or first class to make it easier for the bodyguards to protect them, plus I will talk directly to the hotel and arrange for upgrading of the hotel rooms as well."
"Anna, you are stalling, come on given you and YI have shortened our time frames we need to work hard to organise stuff."
"James, I am going to ask a favour.Can you arrange with my father-in-law and grandparents-in-law to take the children out and do something today?"
"As long as you do those exercises at least three times before tea tonight."
"I Promise."
AnLing, realised that the breakfast room was not the best place to have this conversation, so she suggested "Ladies, how about we go into a lounge room to have this discussion in a more comfortable setting?"
Knowing that everyone would follow her Du AnLing stood up and exited the breakfast room, heading down a corridor into a small lounge room.Everyone simply wandered after her, Anna asking the staff to bring them in coffee and tea, along with a cold drink for her.
Once everyone was comfortable Du AnLing spoke, "Ladies, let us look at what we have to organise.Venue for the wedding ceremony, guest list, photographer, location for post wedding photos, reception.Wedding dress, and wedding party clothes are sorted, everyone just has to have fittings before they go back."
Rosemary interrupted "Depends on the numbers being invited to the ceremony, if it less than fifty we could see if the chapel at Flagstaff Hill is available, as Hou Yi liked that idea when we walked around there, otherwise we need to look at a church, or a venue for a non denominational ceremony.That makes us consider a Minister of Religion or a Marriage celebrant."
"As to a Photographer I know a couple of people who know photographers, so I can send some emails and see who might be available, but to do that I need the date.Post wedding photographs, Flagstaff Hill, Tower Hill, the Gardens, even possibly a few could be where Yi, Anna and the photographer take a helicopter to the Twelve Apostles or elsewhere along the Great Ocean Road.That will depend on the weather."
As she paused, Rebecca continued "For reception venues, there are a few options, but catering might be a challenge.Without arranging catering, the Lady Bay Resort might be the best option, but if we have to fly catering in, then it opens up options.We just have to see what is available and go from there with the reception venue.But for the football mad family members you better have a television available for them."
