    New Zealand Roadtrip

    NZ would make a very nice relaxing honeymoon trip. Driving is less stressful than sg. 1-way, and mostly law abiding. Lots of traffic police along the way during hols season. I have been using maps.me for all my trips. Self-drive and backpacking. They are pretty accurate so far. Lodging may be...

    Unreasonable Dowry

    Reira, is good that both families not that traditional. My mum didnt know how much to ask. So, I ask on her behalf $188. Just for show. But anyway, half of everything will be returned. Kristine, i think the main thing is not other stuff, I think is the pin jin. Earning alot doesnt mean they...

    what is the worst thing that can happen to you?

    Try to take any setback as a test. I always tell myself, 1 year later from today, this problem will disappear. PS. I always secretly hope that I can fast forward time. Sometime when u lose something precious, you will gain something priceless. Stay strong!

    Can I rent gown for overseas wedding?

    The cost is not much different with dry cleaning and amendments. And, I dun have special preference for a gown. Of course when I signed up for the package, I make sure they write black and white that they are not going to charge me for that rental.

    Wedding Lunch on Saturday

    I have attended saturday lunch. A saturday lunch vs a sunday lunch doesnt make much difference for me(as a guest). As long as you are not planning to "play" (gatecrash), you should have more than enough time. Other type of planning usually done few days or a week earlier. Collection of gowns...

    Honeymoon expense and length

    I have been to some of the places during May and December. Seems like you are only going to stop by only the bigger city of the countries. It's a honeymoon, 2D 1N is too exhausting IMO. Taking train from one place to another would drain half day already. Scandinavian countries should set it...

    My wedding banquet venue had been doubled booked, need advise urgently please!

    This one need to test your negotiation skill liao. But then, unlikely there will be any compensation. Cos they inform you rather early/quickly in just 5 days. At bows they probably couldn't access their database. For my case, there was an involvement with the police, they say can approach...

    Need help !

    Where is your banquet/ROM or any ceremony? If it is in Singapore, it doesnt make sense to travel so far, esp if you have a wedding date and time from a geomancer. Let say ur htb wake up at 5am, 6am drive in Msia. 1pm then reached. Pick u, then go to his side to serve tea, 8pm. Time doesnt...
