I have trouble asking for help. I've known this from organizing conferences. Especially from people I don't feel like I know very well. Especially in times of stress.

I withdraw from social situations. I did a lot of hiding during the whole wedding planning, more and more so as the Wedding Day drew near. One thought that was constantly in my mind in the last week was: "I hate people".

I fear failure too much.

I nitpick at myself a lot.

I'm a lot pickier than most people about tiny details.

Current Mood: thoughtful

Hello!

Thanks to

la_traviata - I found your journal. Thanks for sharing your wedding! I have an interest in a Chinese wedding because my boyfriend's sister is getting married this September to a person from China. She is terribly excited about it - but doesn't want something terribly traditional. I was reading through your journal and came across some music that caught my attention - The Quiet Mountain (celtic harp) - where did you find this? on what CD is it on? I would love to find this and share it with his sister (their Dad is full blooded Irish).

Thanks again for sharing such a beautiful day!

Susan

Re: Hello!

Hi there!

The CD is called "Variations on a Dream"; the name attached to it is Susan Scott. She's arranged an assortment of tunes and I think she plays them on the Celtic Harp herself. It's one of those "relaxing background music" CDs that you find in a rack at stores that sell candles, aromatherapy and stuff like that - I got mine at The Woolly Gift Shop, in case one of those exists in a mall near you. The cover is mostly green, it's a picture of Susan Scott sitting on a ledge of some sort... (feet pointed to the right).

I can't find it on Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com or Chapters.ca =P

Re: Hello!

I'll have to search for it - it sounds like the perfect music that Melinda is looking for.

I checked a couple of sites and didn't come up with anything - now I am on a mission. . .

Thank you for such a fast response! I suppose you are still settling down after the big day. It sounded gorgeous and like so much thought and effort went into the day. Congratulations!

Susan

Re: Hello!

Thanks =)

I'm winding down, but there's still a lot to do.

I have to write about the rest of the day and the Banquet. I've been writing forever and I'm only 1/3 of the way through. =P

Re: Hello!

It looks like you can order it from New World Compact Discs:

http://www.vaxxine.com/newworldcds/canadian/s.htm

Do a keyword search on that page for "Variations".
