    DEVASTED UPON LEARNING THE TRUTH

    IMO, the only yardstick if anyone is doing something wrong/unethical: Will u be doing what u're doing if your gf/bf is standing next to u?? If u won't, then it's clearly wrong. There isn't a 'measure' of how wrong it is. It just is. For this reason, I disagree TOTALLY with what Thomas is...

    Europe trip: First timer need advice

    Raymond, I beg to differ. It is crowded but at least there's a respectful silence. you're free to stand and have your moment with Mona L. without anyone ushering you around. Ditto for the Sistine Chapel which is even more crowded imo.

    A REAL WEDDING CAKE

    Hi Jacquise, I'd my cake done by Cheryl Shuen (url of her website is that of her name-1 word). We sat down a couple of times to discuss the concept and design. She was great and we had the cake as dessert. 1 way of bringing down cost is to have a 3-5 tier cake (real of course) out front...

    Maddcow, have u made any deposit for Sandy? *evil grin* My MUA for the photoshoot was Sandy and honestly, I felt that the new MUA was better with hair & MU. Prior to the day, she actually asked if I'd a picture of the look I wanted. And on the day itself, she brought a huge folder of...

    Anyone planning their weddings from overseas?

    Maddcow, I'm also of the opinion that it's better to have it made with a tailor personally. It's hard to be precise when ordering online especially when a CS has a lot more measurements than the run-of-the-mill blouse or dress. In fact, even though my tailor made it to my size, she had to take...
