    inviting exes

    Hmmm, i dun think it will affect much since both of you will be superb busy. But if it makes your husband uncomfortable, then shldnt invite...? Let your colleague/ex know, I guess he wouldnt mind. Can save angbao $ too. If you feel iffy, I bet your htb will feel the same or even worse, esp...

    What should I do?

    10mths vs 7 years. For me, is too big a risk to take. Plus, she is a foreigner, moving to her country makes her more in control. If business fail, and you are penniless, will she still stand by your side? Not to forget, she is younger. Easier for her to start all over again. And, I dont think...

    My conflict with Mother In Law

    Avoiding her is not a good way. It will look as if you are treating the home like a resort by coming home and straight to your room. It will be better to spend some time, do small talks then return to your room. The nagging are usually worse if they are housewives, Just spend like 5-10 mins a...

    no flat no marry? do you agree?

    I think sg not that big. And moreover all at east side. Are u getting a resale? For BTO, u cant really decide, only can try whichever is available, which for your case, any east side upcoming BTO. No need to quarrel since decided by HDB. Even if got upcoming eunos BTO, you might not get a good...

    Was told $60sgd, but I pay about $80. For a big frame and album. I needed them to be displayed during the wedding banquet. PS. my experience with the taiwan BS is much better than the one in SG. Even though both are $_$ monsters. :oops:

    so much frustration n uncertainty

    1) Cooking dishes is something you can always pick up if you want to. If necessary, can try to 'wayang" a few. Talking "negative" stuff about your family, as long as my hubby dun do it, for me is okay. Cos you cant force him to tell off the elders in the family. Getting angry with him doesnt...

    no flat no marry? do you agree?

    Initially I told that to my SO too. But after a few mths of "psycho-ing", i gave in. And now, he's staying at my place. Have been 2mths. No matter how well they can get along before marriage, staying with in-law will somehow have issues. Now, we are trying to move out and rent before we get our...

    Boyfriend didn't propose...

    My hubby did formally proposed to me. But the actual proposal doesnt touch me as much as the time he "proposed" to get a BTO tgt. For me, the main impt thing is whether does he introduce you to his family.

    Grand Hyatt or W Singapore for dinner banquet

    Hyatt for location. Sentosa is not convenient for everyone, esp those who doesnt drive. I think it is more wise to be able to confidently hit the min tables. Some guests last minute might not turn up. Having to pay for empty tables not only burnt a hole in your pocket, but also doesnt look good...

    Recommendations for an intimate small wedding

    Mine was open house promo, $50 off per table and 1 extra night stay when using some credit cards. They hold it twice a year I think. Hehe, my hubby is not a Singaporean too, that's why we also held a small one. Pls rmb to check the bill before paying. They forgot I had the open house promo. Cos...

    Recommendations for an intimate small wedding

    Hello! just held my wedding there in december 2014. Yup, not necessary. But better to ask them the min amt. Cos min. 5 tables vs 12 tables, the DP is different. And 1 month before wedding can let them know exact table no. (can only increase) That scheme is just a guideline. They are not that strict.

    Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore

    Held my wedding there in December. Excellent service, have to put up with my hubby's pickiness. :oops: Thumbs up for their chefs, banquet manager and wedding coordinator. Good thing is that there's only 1 main ballroom, accommodate only 1 wedding. Just one thing to note is that the projector...

    Anyone not doing Pre-wedding shoot?

    On actual day, I had 10hrs photography (2hrs photoshoot). Got more than enough to display plus day-to-day photos. But would be nice to have a huge one with frame to display on the stand at banquet reception. I prefer not to take the ones with everyday clothes if I engaged a professional service...

    Advice needed: Carlton or Waterfront Copthorn Wedding Banquet??

    IMO, I prefer Carlton. It is more accessible as compared to Grand Copthorne. And based on the no. of wedding they can hold. I think Carlton only have 2. Grand Copthorne can hold like 3/4. Cant really rmb. Lesser wedding in 1 venue better esp. if it is a popular date.
