wah, Piggylover, your wedding shoot so early? Mine's in mid-July - my AD in Nov. Wish me luck....think i need to put a call to my bridal studio to check on the gown selection -- they recommended to do so sometime in May when they have a show or something.

hi Wendy, Congrats! Glad it all worked out in the end for you. I am not decorating stairs. Think it's grand enough as it is.

Hi Wendy, Sorry to hear about that. If it's clear that your MIL won't be paying for the banquet, I really don't see why she should be having a say -- it's your day and both of you are paying. Not hers, nor is she paying. Apologies if I do feel so strongly about this. I am happy to listen...

er...why wont u try asking Andrew again. Maybe you negotiate the 40 tables and get the wedding favors, beer etc and whatever you want thrown in and work out a total (incl the food). Ask Andrew if dun want the food, how much can he discount per table? Then also check direct with Pinsi...

hi Wendy, Since OCC will be engaging Peach Garden, why don't u get your MIL to go to their restaurant to try out their food to get her opinions? But if she's really insistent, i think you really need to sit down to discuss with her on your preference of OCC -- if she is understanding, she...

Piggylover, no need to worry about my request. My hb's friends already emailed us some lists of things to look out for when planning actual day. We confirmed our wedding venue and bridal package in just 2 days. So now can just chill a bit and work on the invite list.

I am also thinking of going to the OCC -- planning to hold wedding banquet in Nov this year. So less than 6 mths. Does anyone have a list of to-dos?!

Melon, I know it's really hard on you. You really need your bf to help you sort out the relationship issue. Otherwise, like what others say, getting a house and living apart isn't going to make the issue go away. Unless your bf willing to break his ties with his mom and stand up for...

Hi Melon, If you care for some advice, I would also caution against getting a flat. Unless your bf is totally adamant and *mentally strong* enough to stand up against his mom's antics. Moms at those ages are really insecure (is she a housewife?) Why not attempt to proactively get into her...

There's 3 I patronize: A-Roy Thai (@ funan centre) - love their lemongrass salad. can't find it anywhere else. Lemongrass (@ Heeren - got other branches too) - their thai honey chicken and stir fried vermicelli are my faves. Then there's one in Thomson Shopping Centre (opposite Hans)...

Actually, it's mostly due to the fact that coffee can be quite acidic. Even though I am a really coffee drinker, I can get a headache on days when I have 3 mugs or more. If you are not allergic to milk, can I suggest that you go for lattes or have more milk in your coffee or a cake as an...

Pinkbuttons, You got all our support. Seems like your hb is als ogoing to crack under that pressure too so there may be hope afterall! *hugs* Just stay strong.

Pinkbuttons, Please make sure you cover all grounds, your house, the wedding expenses etc. Better still if you have the receipts. Also, for your house, your CPF statement would be proof of your payment. For whatever your hubby borrowed and the $$ you passed to your MIL for her hospital...

Pinkbuttons, I agree with Redshoes suggestion - can you please do a simple video install (the pinhole type) so that you can tape down your MIL's unreasonable antics (in public domain, the living room)? I think those can be easily set up if she's not in the house for a while? That way, if...

Janica, If nothing works, I would ask you to jokingly suggest to MIL that she go *kid /pet shopping* (aka adoption or buy a dog) with you....then at least she can choose her *grandchild*. If she gets angry and say that you are rude, just tell that the decision to have babies or not is not...

I just think you shouldn't be so rash. If she's so adamant about following her son wherever he goes, ask your hb to go stay outside for a while. That will buy you some peace. I am not quite sure how both of you have agreed to come to be married but you do have to remember and remind you hb...

Janica, if both you and ur hubby have an agreement not to have babies that soon, then just him tell his mom that firmly. No need to stress. The next time you go over, *borrow* a pet dog and say it's your son or daughter. :P Pinkbuttons, Actually, I think all your mil is doing is to...

Whitehooves, you are not the only one. I haven't choosen my BS, and banquet also not decided yet.

Actually, Nov 11 is our ROM date a few years back. Was working overseas for a while so never got around to AD. Can recommend a place with long straight aisle, high ceiling?

All these sound really interesting! Now I have to think of the cakes too!
