Chobits> in terms of clashing, immediate family members... got a similar case here. Today is my FH's cousin's AD but i'm not supposed to go coz my birth animal clashes with her and they claimed the 3-month restriction too.. but hor, my FH can go... what the crap.. might as well say, they want all family to be present but me not a family yet, so better dun go... dunno what they are thinking too.. during new year, considered family coz must eat the reunion dinner together... stupid.. dun noe what FFIL are talking.. all to their advantages..
cindee> me also stop exercising... ROM in Sept, but no motivation to exercise coz have been coughing for >2 weeks.. no stamina too..sigh
as for your event, maybe u would like to make it a whole day thingy.., asking different grps of pp to come at different timing to avoid rush but warning first, u will be very tired.. and also make sure u got frens to help cleaning up.
