The IT Geek introduced the guy to Google Calendar. They set up a calendar to mark upcoming appointments and to book cave-time slots (either alone or with friends). It took a while for The Guy to learn how to connect to the calendar and IT Geek has since moved on to Google Calendar sending alerts via SMS. Woohoo! Now she's very inspired to put an LCD screen up at home with Google Calendar on it so that they can have easy access to each other's schedules. But of course, money is always the limiting factor (and practicality as well).
Appointments are a chore, especially if the other party do not keep to the pre-agreed time. The couple are now very glad that they have chose all their wedding-related matters in the same area (i.e. Pan Pac, Bliss at Marina Square) so that they can schedule appointments on the same day. In addition, Marina Square is very accessible (except during the F1 season) and its a mere bus ride from both her Depot Road home and church. * Woodlands is far from everything so the measure of accessibility do not count
During the appointments, the guy will try his best to pay attention and match the enthusiasm of the IT Geek, who has done tonnes of research (especially on the invitation card wordings). Nonetheless there will be times when he will turn to his trusty soccer game on his iPhone. The guy also uses his iPhone extensively to appoint his brothers and other wedding-related personnel. Maybe the IT Geek should set up SMS alerts for the guy's phone as well.
